Post by: Chris Cottrell on November 05, 2005, 09:46:43 pm

I got a call earlier from a customer of mine that's moving ... well trying to sell anyway ... nice people... Chaufeur (appology for spelling) has a nice bently & porsche for hire
anyway I digress they gotta viewing tomoz at 11.00 want to know if i'd clean in morn .... i'd do it for them anyway but i wonder do any of you charge for out of hours?
I personally dont  but then never had the need to.

Hi Chris,

During the winter hubby frequently works a Sunday to catch up on the weeks work if he's been rained off.

We would'nt charge any extra for a sunday clean unless you were going out to do just the one and had no more in the same street you could do the same time.

Taxi's etc are time & Half for Sunday so would say that would be our GUESS.

Regards,

Sarah

Hi Chris

If they are such good customers then I would do it for the normal charge. They are bound to recommend you to the new owners if you give them such a good service.

Sometimes in the long run it's better just to bite the bullet.

most will tell you add 50 % onto the price for the 1 off cleans

i just let the customer add a bit on, it keeps them happy and its a few extra quid for me

Hmmmmmm

615 K

even though the price looks about right with the amount of windows

that size house would have incured my "rich tax" thus i would have added 10 quid onto the price ;)
