You should've replied "Count yourself lucky I'm not one of those Vat registered window cleaners as it would have been £7.20." (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1510944606_lipsrsealed.gif)

Plus the cost of fuel.   Just let them know they probably not the right customer for your business if they put price before quality.   There new wc probably isn't even insured if he's having to cut corners.

Anyway.  Bet she comes back in the spring :)

On a serious note. Just ignore it.  Not worth you bothering yourself with.

To be honest , this was on the way to another job - took about 3 minutes to do. She emailed from my website 3 months ago asking for a price , told her £6 front only as it’s a massive street of terraces. She said great and was really happy after I’d cleaned them. However , Iv had to remind her to pay for the last 3 months too , so was becoming a pita .

Good riddance, but that’s we’re the money is- front only terraces if you can get enough on one street

If that's the first time you've been accused of being too expensive you need to charge more.

Your goal when pricing should be almost too much, every time.
