Yep, it's annoying.  I recently went to quote for a gutter clean.  Quoted £60 and the lass declined saying, "I thought it would be about a tenner, I'll do it myself!"

Good luck to ya, I thought.

I had one yesterday quoted £11 she said i'm a pensioner and the last one charged £7 yes but you called me because the last one didn't clean the frames or sill  ???

Will you do them for a lower price ?  NO you need to call your old cleaner and see if he still wants to do them for you goodbye.

It's a good feeling to get turned down every now and then  ;D ;D ;D

i charge £15-£20 for 4 bed houses monthly.

i picked up 3 down a small cul de sac a few years ago.last windy was also charging £6.the frames,sills and doors were filthy and he missed the odd awkward window and velux windows.

they took me on and i clean everything and they are very happy with my service.good payers too.

you win some,lose some.

i told them when they all quibbled about the price(which they all did at first) that i do a proper job and if they werent happy after id cleaned them then they didnt have to pay me! ;D ;D ;D

this line works well usually when they moan about the price!


happy days!! :D :D

That is usually a good thing to say, though I did have one crafty woman take me up on the offer. >:(
