Post by: Ian101 on April 29, 2011, 04:49:56 pm
Regular customer asked me to quote to clean their gutters out ... bungerlow with gutters on 2 sides about 90 foot in total plus a little amount on the dormer so guessed 2 hours work @ £30 an hour quoted £60.

They thought it was too expensive  ???

What would u have quoted ?

Probably £80 for me

£60 just to clean the outsides

Would have been more if it was a house

 ;D

price sound about right but would have been gutters soffit and fascia.   - sometimes you just need to 'big' up the clean so the custy understands your not just sploshing a bit of water around
