too right,

but who's going up there to do it ??

custy's cant be bothered to do them,  so i have the equipment and the deas a good un.

see the other thread - plummer £75 to fit a tap ?  - parts less than £10.00 trade ??

comes down to supply/demand i think

yes and they are actually harder to clean because the water doesnt run off like on a normal window so the lads are right charging more for them

jouk i bet you get this more or north facing skylights/ velux

no jo it doesnt i nearly lost a few jobs until someone mentioned they looked bad and as i was charging extra for them they should be done correctly. and i realised a little more effort was needed, but yes they still go greenish after a month

Yes. It is extra income without extra expense and helps pay for the kit that bit quicker.

When quoting I will include them in the price as an addition.

always, if i can reach,
they get dirtier faster than 'normal' windows. i find they need a bit more of a scrub than you think. £1 per velux big or small
