Of coarse, work is work at the end of the day, if its financially viable then do it.

about 5,but as i said i am suffering form man flu,i just couldn't be bothered looking,talking,explaining,pricing and to be honest it wouldn't have mattered would it anything above £5.00 was too much for her

[bobby p]

iv got one of these tmoro, not big , but she especially asked can she pay by cheque. im now on red alert even before iv set foot on her lawn  , if she bounces it shes gonna live to regret it

Bobby, one-offs have to pay up front. You should explain that to them.

she was defo  testing me out with "is a cheq okay? " ,  and im pretty sure if id pitched in with cash up front lady id not have got the job .
  as it happens its one of those bug hutch size  homes and iv priced at 25 which is high for me ,  it has near new windows,so she said. if it had been a big house id not have been willing to take a cheque as a 1 off .
  i very nearly got stung last year on a 1 off by a bloke who tried to weasel down the money on a slogger of a job by saying he found untouched dirt by a fan/light fitting,iv not forgotten that lesson .  

for the first 3 yrs of my biz i didnt take cheques off anybody even regulars but the collecting cash ended up being a blessed chore so i weakened and im cheque city now.  

[barry mallett]

not to anybody on my round , you are asking for trouble or desperate.

Only 1 off I do is for regular customers who have rental properties and have tenant moving in or eot window clean ... Did 1 last week bungerlow 14 windows quoted 20 quid but customer wanted to pay me 25 so nice some people

100% agree get them to send payment before it is cleaned, or leave payment for when you clean

i dont like cheques full stop, if she can write a chq she could transfer the money straight into your account, while you are at her house    jobs done money paid, no cash handled

don't like and accept them is two different things, money doesnt show the same day in a business account does it ?

have you ever done a bank transfer? all it takes is to give your bank lets say my sort code and account number, pop a ref on there as well if needed, done!  do it on internet bank, telephone, counter
chq book, look for and find, get details to put on chq, write out, give to, wait to be cashed and check/tally balance when cashed
but any whooo this is not the subject  dont want to hog to another subject
