I used to have a (very) few customers who needed special arrangements.  I was happy to accommodate them.

The terms were:  "Phone me when you want them doing, I will come straight away subject to finishing the job I'm working on at the time"

The price was:  £X (my usual price for that particular spec of house) plus my 'Premium Service' surcharge of £50 per visit.

Most would reject the offer out of hand, a few accepted that special treatment meant a special price and accepted.

I saw a window cleaner carrying a 2 million house down the road last week.It just make me laugh so many of these costumers think there homes are worth pilfering in the first. Try living in a 3rd world country were you turn your back on your lawn mover to get  cup of tea and when you get back its gone or the washing of the line is gone.
There 's definately plenty of dodgey types about though,
only last week I saw a trad cleaner make off with a custies front gate.














I was going to say something but I thought he might take offence.

Joking aside, one of my former custies really did have his front gate stolen - a very large wooden one too.

Did they catch him? I bet that was an open and shut case.
