,,,,,apart from the odd kitchen window for an elderly customer!

ive just got rid of my last inside customer and i wont be taking anymore on from now on.

i hate the pre booking and having to be there at a certain time,getting messed around at times too and i really dont want to be going inside any customers property.

give me a "splash and dash" outside job any day with no notification,pay on the day and move on to my next job.

[AuRavelling79]

Indeed! I only do inside work (on request) if it subsides my outside work. For example if I have a customer who asks me to do the insides once every six months and the outside is a good payer then I will tolerate it then.

Except commercial when I can turn up when I like - useful if there is a really bad weather day.

[Bay View WCS]

Same here

I hate going round the house, squeezing past furniture, moving stuff off the window cills, having to watch where water is dripping etc etc etc.  Can't be bothered with the hassle.

If a customer asks, I quote an astronomical price which always puts them off.  When their face recovers I tell them they would be better off getting touch with a domestic cleaner and pay them £10 an hour for a couple of hours.

 

[dazmond]

if a customer asks i tell them to ask their domestic cleaner.i have lost jobs because i wont clean the insides  but im not too bothered really.

same for gutter clearing.i refuse them also(unless their at a really low/safe level and its a full UPVC clean at a good price).

its very rare that the weathers really bad when the inside works due though(IME)!

[Dave Willis]

I refuse windowcleaning outside too.

[Dry Clean]

The less I like doing something the higher the price, I absolutely hate cleaning interiors and have a fair amount on
my round.
Its also a great way to take wealthy well paying customers from guys who wont or cant do their insides.

[Smurf]

You're a window cleaner that don't clean the other side of the glass. Good grief dazmond what are you like. Half a job springs to mind. lol

[Soupy]

There is no such thing as a bad job, just badly priced jobs.

I find that if I price them better they are much more enjoyable.

[Tony dunmall]

Sad,

Just charge double as it takes twice as long. I agree that it's nice to pre  book them but there our customers and expect us to be able to offer this service

I quiet enjoy the change but then I started that way over 30 years ago

[SB Cleaning]

I do loads of inside work....I charge more and enjoy traditional work.

[Stoots]

I don't do them. I hate them, I feel nervous as soon as I walk in a custys house.  I don't like doing anything that breaks my stride on the windows. Once you get your round sorted and get really efficent at blasting round it any interuptions to the flow becomes a pain.

I just tell them I don't have the gear to do it.

[Smurf]

I'm betting Dazmond would be straight for the knicker draw. lol

why is it sad?

do you take on every job that comes along.........didnt think so......same principle.

i can to do what the hell i like!

i started up on my own 24 years ago this year.

[dazmond]

i very rarely get asked to clean insides anyway.

[trippyboy]

Splash and dash is king

[ashbash]

Can be nerve wracking though, keep checking the staircase  then dashing in the bedroom to have a quick peak.

Stuff a pair on your pocket for later eh

how much can you get away with charging Soupy?

[G Griffin]

I thought it was 25 years ago next year?

[nathankaye]

Thankfully i dont clean that many, but when i do, i used to charge double the fee of cleaning outside. Now i charge double n half on top. Its a much slower working pace and like many have said hou need to be a whole lot more careful incase of breakages etc.

Then of course being generally blamed if any money or valuables go missing or according to some posts on here, if knickers seem to disappear

Who said window cleaners are thick eh 

[AuRavelling79]

Lady asked me to do the insides today and normally I would refuse or book it for the next time I did the outsides but today was perfect. I said I'd finish the village and pop back about 1 o'clock as heavy rain was predicted. I only charged 50% extra, she cleared all the window sills of clutter and I got tea and biccies. The heavens opened about 5 mins before I got there.

I just finished and it stopped raining and so it was all extra unplanned lolly.

So that was nice. Helps pay towards my broken window on my van.

[robbo333]

If I like the custy then i'll do it. If i'm not bothered then I offer to give them some FREE de-ionised water, every 8 weeks, so they can easily do it themselves. I am such a nice guy making it easy for custies to clean their own insides.

This is also why I like doing insides....ideal for when the weathers bad

[nathankaye]

Sounds a bit questionable though doesnt it;
"Do you want your insides cleaning love" 

[Johnny B]

I clean all the display windows for a local double glazing sales outlet. Nice little job, done every 6 weeks. I do residential inside windows on request. Makes a nice change sometimes.
