Had one today.
« on: July 07, 2011, 09:27:33 pm »
I got a call earlier today about gutter cleaning, so I said I'd pop over at the end of the day and tell him what it would be.

4 bedder place with guttering to the front and rear elevation. I told him £95.00 for inside and outs including fascias.

His response was...........


'Its not a full days work is it?'

You're just a 'cleaner' how dare you earn nearly £100 a day, even if you have take a calculated risk with ladder use and saving his property from possible water damage.
You're a bit of a chancer ain't you ;D

Someone may have previously done it for £20.  Did you get the job, Matt?

I said its a dirty, dangerous job, we're professional, insured and guarantee all the work we do and no I don't negotiate and I dont accept the same level of payment as someone who works on a till  ;D

He said he'd get back to me.  :-*

£95 is a fair price but as tosh said someone may have done it previous for £20 .
Tell them to phone a roofer to do the job £95 will then seem like peanuts to what they charge .
where theres muck theres money
