No just short of £1200 i bought off him he told me it was £750 at the start too but im guessing he wanted to keep some for himself that was local to him to do but as i was there with the redies he decided to sell the lot, there is a couple of schools todo twice a year but im not paying him for them untill they are due also i said he can do them with me. cost me £1500 so not too bad. i also got £220 of new work on top of that by canvassing while going around meeting the customers.

remember traders are loved cos they spend more time cleaning we spend less and so are hated!

You lucky bugger  ;D ;D ;D

To be honest if i took on that amount of work in one go it i would have to take too much time out from my own round to get it sorted   :( :(

If it was a smaller amount of work i would have gone for it but not to worry im picking up nice work local anyway  ;D ;D ;D

and once i take over claremont cresent i'll be well happy  ;D ;D ;D

Pole the lot straight away but make sure every window is perfect first time none of this it will be ok after a few cleans nonsense. Mention Health and safety to customers but also that there frames and sills are getting done and also any windows that are above conservatorys that may have not been done on ladders.

Bought 3 days worth of Trad work about 2 years ago and wfp from start, if you trad once they'll expect it everytime!!! Haven't lost a single one and added another day through refferals and bit of knocking on neighbours doors.

Paul have you had much from your leaflet drops yet???. If i wasnt building another round up id give you my custies off perry street but i cant mate. I can put you on to a couple of good canvassers though who you only have to pay them a tenner a customer and they replace them if dropout so you will have peace of mind. As long as you dont send them to blackheath lol  >:( .
