Compact work with no add-ons,  I tell you Mick I couldn't think of anything more soul destroying. My head needs variety, I'd go mental if that was what my work consisted of.

Well it works for me. I cant think of anything better than well priced compact work.. the only work i found sole destroying was underpriced spread out work which i dont have anymore hence i love going out to work each day.
My regret i have now is that i took on so much commercial and got rid of so many domestic runs... im on the case this summer to change it round as decent domestic is king over anything else pound for pound.

I have to be honest and say that in general my compact work is the hardest. Often traditional roads with poor parking and poor access means that it isn't always that much more an hour.

It sounds a good idea but not for me.
I have some customers who pay upfron and some who pay for several mnths at a time. At the time of them paying its great and I know theyve already paid. But I really hate cleaning their windows it feels free. Like I said I kno its not but thats how I feel. So to do a gutter or gutter n fascia clean knowing its ben paid for throughout the yr, I would begrudge doing it and may be tempted to put it off.

so your saying you d take the money but might be tempted to not provide the add on service if they paid you extra spread throughout the month? ::)roll



Of course not!! All im saying is that for me, i wouldnt like to do that method for the reasons given. Yes we all have some customers who may pay upfront for x number of cleans, in addition i have customer pay by D/D at the begining of month before their windows are cleaned. Those are excellent, but if u had the spare day to do  fascia, soffit n gutter clean to somebody whos paid extra handfull each month over a yr and another persons says on same day if you come n do fascia, soffits n gutters for x amount. Which one would you prefer to do that day??
