Anyone clean insides?
« on: August 25, 2018, 12:14:46 pm »
I do for a couple of accounts plus someone asked me to clean the inside roof of a large glass conservatory. It was priced well but not something I would want to do very often!

No I don't clean ANY inside windows anymore(apart from the odd old dears kitchen window on request).

I don't offer it as a service either.i certainly don't clean inside conny roofs.....too much of a pain IME.....

I ALSO don't offer a gutter clearing service either.....

These jobs always crushed my spirit so I don't do them anymore.....
price higher/work harder!

Nope. I don't either now. No free time to mess with these.

Only bother if you're short on work bud.

I do quite a few, in fact I did a large house inside and out today.

I don't mind doing them as I can make doubly sure that they come up perfect!

I used to do it occasionally (for which I charged 2.5 x the outside), but now I don't do any.

Too much faff.

It's all about streamlining your working day.  If you're fully geared up to getting through pole work as efficiently as possible, then doing oddities like insides etc always reduces your hourly rate IMO.  It's also a ball ache, and life's too short.

Nope.

I want days full off fast efficient pole work, no time to faff about with anything else

I can't understand why people think it's hassle doing insides  ???

I charge more and I'm quick at it so it pays...also it's good doing insides when it's poor weather  ;)

Pehaps because some of them don’t have any trad skills ;)

If they ask then we refer them to someone who does this work. Sometimes we also give them a couple of microfibre cloths...

I was trad for 17 yrs....it's not that....it's the fact I don't like going  in customers houses,you usually have to book them in AND very rarely it works out that your cleaning insides on a rainy day....more like sweating like a pig on a sunny day when they want them doing! ;D

I don't really have any hard and fast rules on what I will or will not clean. View each job on its merits and what its worth to me. So yes, if its financially worth my while then I will clean inside windows. However I will insist furniture etc. are moved and that I have unobstructed access to the windows.

Mine is either for the little ole dear who wants the odd window, or patio door. Or some of my largest houses have the insides done occasionally, as their house cleaners don’t do a good job.

We do quite a few insides. I'd be too embarrassed, rolling up in my big shiny van, sign written as a window cleaner to tell them I'm not capable.

All jobs are crap if you don't charge enough.
