I have agreed on a job, and got a text from the customer with a question "do you do buttering etc, if so is it included in the price ?
What dose she means ?
I am only starting and thats a very good house, don't want to leave her unhappy.
thx

What happens with first time customers, if they're over 60, you need to guarantee that you will butter their bottoms.
You have to get wedges of lard and slather it all over their fat pasty 4rses and smack it good and proper until it goes all red.
Then wash off with pure water.
HTH.

Yeh, I always charge well for buttering, but since I went van-mounted-SLX, I prefer cleaning windows with a lightweight pole since it's a lot less physically demanding than buttering.
It's well paid, but physically demanding.

I am glad I did not reply to her that it's included in the price already. So now I have to put up a price a little
-

Yeah it does... I've had a few oldies ask me over the years if I "buffer" the windows with a cloth instead of leaving them wet!

Good, you need a sense of humour to be here.
So what you on about? 'buttering'?
-
guttering?

Nah. I can`t believe it`s not buttering.
-
Perhaps she means her morning toast?
Maybe she had one of those window cleaners who offer a full service? Just try to ignore the wrinkles and pretend it's Katie Price with a gag on and wearing a paper bag over her head while you're on the job.

got to be guttering young man
-
Andy,You decided on a new name for the business then...nice one

Viktor - I'm guessing English isn't your first language and that you do a good Draklier accent ...
If you look at a computer keyboard you will see that "B" isn't far from "G" and that a slip of a finger might hit a B instead of a G.
Therefore she probably wants a price for guttering - now you need to find out if she wants it cleaned, cleared out, repaired or replaced.
Zat is vot I zink anyvay! ;D
-
Either that or predictive text

-
This is my first post in the forum, but I start to like this place :D :D
and Gold, english is not my first language, but my accent is not that bad.. :)

Viktor, don`t offer buttering as a service. We`ve all got to earn a crust but don`t spread yourself too thin, mate. Use your loaf and stick to cleaning windows.
If she continues to Stork you for buttering, and this may sound harsh and I don`t like hitting women but just Flora.
-
I would advise you to take a look at the job first mate.
If she is an ol'girl her crumpet could well be a bit dry and rough around the edges so you might have to butter it up more than usual.
Make sure your price reflects this!
But if you're up for it crack on. :-X

I used to do buttering, but it wasn't financially viable. The customers wanted jam on it as well.

Hi Steve,
Yeah I did :)
I was going to use Pure something or other, but there are so many Pure this and thats around.
"Iconic Window Cleaning" is unique at the moment... Similar to Ionic the supplier, but no customers are going to be dealing with them!
