I would at the moment, I would be very happy to have a go at it.

I would probably go in rock bottom on price, and make a meal of doing it right.

What I would ask for is as many recomendations for similar work that they know of, and maybe a testamonial on the website.

I used to wash the windows on a castle, every broken pane was counted and logged  before the job, and again afterwards. They can get a bit funny about it if you start wrecking the place.

There is some good work to be had on similar sites, but they are shy of letting people near them. Any exp you can show will be a good thing.

Just get stuck in and have a go.

Careful not to fall in the moat and watch out for the boiling oil.  ;)
