I think tips vary via region, I get a £5 tip Prob once a day at least.

Saying that the richer the custy the less chance of a tip.

I did a £130 job for an old dear a few weeks ago and when I finished she gave me an envelope and said there's a little bit extra in there for you .When I opened it up there was £300 in there , I told her i couldn't take all that , she said you have worked so hard and deserve it ,so I told her that I would take a £10 tip if that was ok and gave her the £160 back . Never in my life have I had that .

That's why all my prices are in 5's.
£65 £75 etc and sometimes then they
will round it up.

 One of my regs went back to live in Austria, when we done last clean on house she gave me £250 tip, a complete hornby train set up including table and a brand new £1200 ice cream maker, all went on ebay and sold for £800 so had a grand tip. Doesn't make up for loss of earnings though 3 cleans a year costing 3 grand.

Cheers

Many years ago we did Ozzy Osborn's house in Buckinghamshire, they were having the hall carpet replaced which was a Hugh Mackay beautiful light green supreme velvet, huge thing. than ran up 3 flights in very good condition, some of it had hardly been walked on.

They said if we could move it we could have it,  ;D we did the whole house in this top quality carpet which would have run in to thousands if we had bought it in new.

I would have to say its biggest (in more ways than one) tip I have ever had.

£25 tip last month for a £175 job, customer only had £50 notes and did not want any change.

Always loved them, although they tend to sag a bit after child birth.
