hiya jsm , what do you do with contours? i spoke to their manager a few months back and he said there was 4 companies covering all there wcleaning in north west, are you one of em?

I was about 1 month too late to quote, walked in to their office in lowry one day when shopping just to see if they were looking for any cleaners, and got chance to quote next year!!

i got 100 flats that i do for them - four story stuff in chester - nice job if they pay lol

not the best company to deal with so far - did the quote 2 years ago then got told i got it , then heard nothing after chasing them when to start - then got a call out the blue telling me i got it again haha , sorted out paper work etc , first clean paid fine , waiting for the second.

Finally got some temp girl in finance trying to sort payment - we shall see ..... what ive larnt afte all these years is good jobs like these dont come along to often so there must be a reason why the last cleaners jumped ship .... looks like i may be jumping soon also ...

100 flats in a few blocks, or 100 blocks?! Im chasing a housing association in manchester at the minute about some property that needs cleaning, and despite ringing tens of times no one ever gets back!!! So frustrating, they dont have a cleaner there yet the residents are paying a service charge for one!!!
