Good answer. You can't argue with that, either they accept or they don't - their choice.

It's beginning to look like next week will be a bit light on work.
It would be daft of me not to do a few one-offs if requested as it would all be extra money.  Naturally, a premium rate would apply.  Alternatively, I could take a full day off on Christmas Eve, a day I was originally prepared to work.

Some of you lads must be earning way to much to be turning away easy money with one offs lol your only cleaning them not installing new ones!

I am making a nice extra few £ with one offs this past while, pricing them nicely and laughing all the way to the bank it really is easy money, why you would turn it down is beyond me maybe im missing a trick here lol

If you have plenty of work, they aren't worth it. You normally have to go out of your way to get to them and they take much longer than a regular job. Even at 3x they aren't worth it unless you are working next door.
