Post by: PoleKing on July 28, 2014, 06:05:34 pm: How much is the job?
If they've offered it without any input from you then I'd say take it.
Unless not taking it could benefit you in another way...

Post by: Clever Forum Name on July 28, 2014, 06:31:54 pm: Haha no benefits if I don't take it.

Job is £500 and should be done in a day.

So she's giving me 10% extra :)

Post by: Don Kee on July 28, 2014, 06:34:24 pm: Even without the extra £50, if you are able to do it without problems then an extra £500 for a days work is a given...

Sure there's nothing to be gained by not taking it?
If so, take it and let her crack on!
House on the market though, I'd get paid upfront.

She paid cash last time before I had even finished :)

It is a well priced job. But it's hard. (Massive internal glass roof)

Cancel and they never lol.

I have already done about £300-£400 worth of works for her.

Maybe its in the deal to buy the house that the roof is cleaned?

Post by: deeege on July 28, 2014, 09:48:58 pm: Same thing happened to me last week. A customer whose conservatory has been filthy for over 4 years called on Monday afternoon saying she desperately needs her conservatory cleaning before the photographer comes at Wednesday teatime. The price was bumped up accordingly for the urgency factor and we were paid prior to cleaning on the Wednesday morning.
