I arrive have a look around,dirty windows..Great.WORK. Asked questions.Turn up for job and discover paint, a lot of licks and varnish left from sloppy reno work done years before.I did ask if they had windows cleaned before, and yes was the reply.SO i gave a quote to clean windows as i see it, a 5 hour estimate. It took 6,To remove all the excess i came across would have taken 8.I explained the situation to the home owner and they were'nt fussed.BUT I DID SAY I WOULD CLEAN THE WINDOWS... Any words from the experienced would be appreciated.cheers

Always ask what they are expecting you to achieve before guving a price and starting work. That could have easiy bitten you on the rear end.

I guess you've learnt something, don't quote over the phone.

Hi Mat.
hows tricks ? I suppose charlie drakes love child told you to call me herman the german ;D ;D ;D ;D

Personally I do not touch paint or varnish on glass...unless I get a waiver signed from customer.
For some it's ok but I do not.

The OP is Australian (I think); so that might explain something.
Perhaps he should ring the Fosters blokes.
