My biggest up until today was £95.00 every 12 weeks.

I secured a new job today, which they want done every 3 weeks  ??? at a lot more than my previous biggest.

Ill try to get some pics when I do it, its a lovely gaff. Dont know who owns it, as Ive only dealt with the house-keeper/manager; it seems the windows need to be done when the owner isnt at home  ???  ???  I'll look for clues when Im there ;D

  Why look for clues? Just ask.

  My biggest is £180 every 4 weeks, and I get a phone call if I am more than 2 days late.

I believe if they want their identity known theyll probably be comfortable enough for the house-keeper to divulge it, as that hasnt happened then they probably value their privacy/anonymity.

Respect  ;)

  If the house keeper is anything like the ones I have encountered they will hate their boss and sing like a canary without you even needing to ask.

Stan,

If you used a WFP, it's possible that you could do the same job in a fraction of the time; a lot less effort; and even do a better quality job.

It does depend on the type of Georgian windows though.

I only have problems with one Georgian window account and that's because it's 'real' Georgian windows with really deep partitioned frames; they're about 3 cm deep; and the paint work isn't the best.

But if they're PVC type ones; you wouldn't believe how easy this type of window is cleaned with WFP compared with trad.

Are you new here?   ;D

There's many different types of posts; some are humorous, some or informative, others are helpful and yes, some are purely to 'brag'; though this can often be done from a 'sideways' manner.

But I dropped my biggest domestic account which was £100 because the lady messed me about with regards to our frequency of clean.

This lady phoned me about a year later wanting us back, but I said , NO.  Ian Giles does it now, and because I told him I charged her £100, and refused to go back, he now charges her £120.

That'll teach 'er. ;D

That's not really price fixing is it?  Price fixing is illegal!
