was working away and guy comes out can u do conservatory roof for me mate,aye no bother will come round have a look,i cleaned the fronts,then went round the back,i said to him it would be a 2 hour job so it would be £45 which i thought was fair as he was existing custy,but he actually wanted me to do it for same price as normal told me it would only take 2 mins as its easy access with my pole n that,im all for maybe getting my trad gear and doing a inside kitchen or maybe a bay window and saying its fine dont worry about extra but a whole conservatory roof??? anyway he said no was way to expensive and 45 quid for 2 hours work,had a bit of trouble getting out by his 2  new bmws in the drive

I always just explain that time is money... I could be doing x amount of windows in the time it takes me to do their extra work... Most people then understand...

I also mention that you can earn more money using your water else where, ie the amount of water needed to clean your con roof will clean 10 houses.
