Bloody hell Colin is that honestly how much they charge  :o I believe their targeting the domestic market more now and their trying to offer the complete package which includes the cleaning ladies for the houses, I've just got one of their old contracts in bootle and when I found out how much they charge for their 'packages' then I can sort of understand how they can make losses on the domestic side of things.

I also thought they were moving to Speke now?



Yes, honestly Ste I should of took a photo of it, I get the impression that he'd had there's jobs for donkeys years and just never put the price up.
Well done on the com work mate, I no they have
Some monster prices on work, so that why this canes as such a shock


I think it may as people are saying here Colin that its just simply to cover the hourly wages, if the domestic quality is as good as the comercial then the people mustnt care as i know spot are crap. They get a lot of work through the fact of how big they are and they have a cherry picker

This is nothing, I picked up a job a couple of years ago at £65.. their window cleaner was charging £8!!! They actually kept the old window cleaner on as well as me, even though they weren't happy with his work as the 'felt sorry for him'.. I had to phone them before I came to make sure he wasn't about as the 'didn't want to hurt his feelings' !!!  ;D

We've got an old man doing all the shops in our town centre. I canvassed them all once and they all said he was terrible but they didn't want to let him go as they felt sorry for him. I kept saying "Oh thanks I can't get any work because people feels sorry for him and he's taking the Mick. I did pick up one shop on the high street from someone who'd just took the lease on. Funny I used to drive down the street and could see the one shop gleaming in a row.
