"Hi Matt, this is ***** from ****. I am just dropping you a line to say that we wish to cancel our window cleaning arrangement with you. The reason for this is as I am rarely home when you come, you are unable to do the upstairs, rear of the house and as you do not use ladders you cannot clean our back bedroom window and as a result it is filthy. I have managed to find a window cleaner who still uses ladders and he is happy to access the upstairs of the house via the extension roof, they also clean the PVC and glass and use the old fashioned wiper type tool to remove excess water. If you remember I have had issues in the past about the streaks left on the glass after they have been cleaned by your company, I am still finding this happens."


All for £3.50...good riddens! Wont be loosing any sleep over that one!!!

Cant please everyone lol

she put a lot of thought into presenting that note reasonably so it would be the more cutting for you.She managed to include about five negative points about you, and several about the superiority of your competition.To write it obviously gave her a great feeling of satisfaction and shows her as a deeply flawed individual.

For someone so obsessed with with your so called bad points i think life might become very empty for her with the new super cleaners.

I would be personally,... very worried about them 5 bad points, and in the same breath complimenting the competition.

Why could you not clean the back?... carry a small ladder and get on the ext. roof?

streaks....? that would worry me....first cleans, i explain spotting ...

but after that  it should be fine....

its just me i guess.... but i would want to know where i was going wrong....

it is a cheapo at £3.50.... and worth dropping... but all the same , her comments would set alarm bells ringing ,... if that was me.

there... finished lol  ;D

As i said matey all the others in there are fine with me and i get on with them all.

I do carry a ladder but she said dont worry about that one.

Streaks? I dot know what shes talking about mate, i had someone new with me once and she rang, i went back couldnt see a proble just re did them and she hasnt mentioned it since.

I never or hardly ever get complaints...shes just "one of them"

Prefers the "old fashioned wiper type tool"

Lol, yeh good en, i was thinking about sending something back to be honest as it looks like shes taken her time to write this, cup of tea, biscuit's (lots of) slippers, a pipe and a quill "right lets write matt an email"

Was thinking about a "No worries, thanks for your custom"

But maybe no reply would be best?

The trouble with this kind of cancellation when i've had it, is that it sows a little seed of doubt for a moment.
Say nothing.
It will show her it wasn't as big as issue with you as it was with her.

It was tony's wife who cancelled you and got him to clean them again.  ;D

All her windows... she had a stupid extension on back and she said "not to worry" about the window in question and she'll clean the other windows on the extension, which she never has. Who ever came to it, he's welcome
