Sorry to hear that David.
Had one recently cancel monthly front (big front) £10.
custie text "thank you for your service, but decided our windows no longer need cleaning"
I sent text back saying could do bi-monthly at same price halving their billl.
Reply was: "thanks we will need them doing from time to time so will be in touch"
Also had the gate issue as gold; use to climb over then was told it would give people ideas
Custie asked for text to unlock gate.
Next month i text them was asked to leave it that month not conveineant.
Another customer email'd me to say they found my cleaning method unsatisfactory.
Done their windows for nearly a year semi-detached £12 allround.
Was told previous windie was half price £6.
Unfortunately window cleaning is a luxury not a nesscesity.
I think for a lot of people money is getting tighter and i can see frequencies changing I am planning on building a better round at 6 weeks at 8 visits a year.
Putting prices up is recieved with change to bi-monthly, at times
I believe that a lot of traders were every 2 weeks 10+years ago.
Then 4 weeks became the norm.
I think we may need to change.
Even those that can afford it seem to hard work
Please note: i use to be indecisive----but now i'm not sure
