A quote for a conservatory roof clean, AND  a dog and family portrait photography session...



Have any of you had any weird 'added extras'?

Yes, I was on the nest last night with a customer. No payment received, I’m wondering if that means a refund is required.

Been asked to remove Ivy from a house wall.
Fence painting.
Car cleaning.
Caravan cleaning.
Empty a large sack of bird seed into boxes.
Remove contents from the bottom of a chest freezer.

I've been asked if I:

Clean chimneys
Replace crow guard on chimney
Take away rubbish
Paint
Fit a chandalier
Repair a satellite dish
Put up/take down xmas decorations
Trim a hedge/mow lawns
Give lifts

There are probably more but you get the idea.

Whilst I was cleaning a front porch I got asked by an elderly customer to water her hanging baskets.
We have a choice! We can do one or the other, the opposite, both, or neither depending on which way the wind is blowing.

I get asked to clean this hot woman’s shower screen each month , it’s always really soapy like she’s been rubbing her ass on it . I kindly oblige as she’s always in her silk dressing gown , she works from home , I’m sure she’s a porn star or something because when I walked past one of the bedrooms , there were cameras set up and laptop on the bed 🛏

A window cleaner I know (who comes on here occasionally) was asked to watch a guy have a wank while he cleaned his windows.

Not really; £50 one. a 4 bed detached  family home, you know the sort that 68 reg Audi's and/or KIA's are parked up on with an able & cole hamper stacked neatly by the "OAK" door.
