already clean
« on: September 30, 2009, 06:56:24 pm »
Had a gutter clean and conservatory to do this morning on an already imaculate property. The woman had got her son to clean the gutters off but he only managed the front. The house was so clean it would have lasted another year easily.
I hate cleaning clean gutters - it takes ages trying to improve them. Why do customers do this?
The woman had cleaned the conservatory roof a month ago - she didn't want to do them again because her husband walked away when he was supposed to be footing the ladder.  ;D

i too had the problem recently ftp.

He was an ex "window cleaner" (in his late 50's now) who couldn't do over his conservatory or his conny roof.. So i upped my quote., but did everything else gutter/fascia wise

He seemed to think that telling me he used to be a window cleaner would get him a cheap clean?? If id had done it he would have been inspecting like mad..

So i priced it up to high so that i could spend an lot of time on it.. to my no surprise i haven;t heard from him..LOL best to stay clean on some jobs.
