i wouldnt have bothered calling her back personally, just ignore them move on and in a few months they end up calling you again or come out to you on the street to which you say your too busy as a polite way of saying f##k off

I’ve had the exact same thing lately with quotes,I have a window cleaner but he’s to expensive.
I don’t even bother coz he won’t be as expensive as me 😂. ,also I have a window cleaner but I want my weatherboarding cleaned can you give me a price. If I don’t get the Windows on a regular basis they don’t get other things on there house washed down by me anyway some people just think you are desperate for the work once they realise your not there attitude changes to the tune of oh maybe I’ll do it myself as I ain’t gonna get it done for peanuts.

Had one today ...

Chap phones up a couple of days ago and says I've been recommended to him (probably one of my blind customers  ) and asks about windows soffits and gutters. I said it's best I have a look and arranged to call by today between jobs. As I never do soffits and gutters and pass them on to Dan the Man I wondered who had recommended me and it sounded like he said something like "Yogi" and when I asked him to repeat it it sounded the same so I just let it pass. (Perhaps I made a Boo-boo?)

So I arrive at this 1960's nondescript semi thinking this looks simple enough and I asked him whether he wanted the gutters cleaning out or simply washed. He came out with the immortal words ...

"Well, while you're up there you might as well clean 'em out."

 

I politely informed him that I wouldn't use ladders but used a pole system to which he said "That's no good; you won't be able to clean the sills properly!"

I could have gone into explaining how I (or more accurately, Dan the Man) could indeed clean the sills properly with a pole system - and suck the muck out with a gutter vac - but I thought "I can't be bothered" and with a sigh, said, "okey-dokey, thanks for your time" and left.

Unfortunately this time of year does tend to bring out the "chancers"

I had one asking for a one off window clean - 3 bed semi . I said all windows frames etc etc £40. Her reply was no I don’t want all my fascias and gutters washing , just the windows.
I thought to myself I can’t be arsed and told her that if I charge the monthly price for one off cleans , I will be making a loss due to the ridiculous amount filtered water I use.
Followed by , I’m sorry I couldn’t help you on this occasion
