Do you up your price when working at the weekend ?

I don't, as I don't have a full diary during the week, when doing a quote, if the customer ask if Its possible to clean the carpets at the weekend I always say yes , as I want to secure the job while doing the quote.

BTW I only clean residential carpets.

[Paul H]

No.. same price.. people work through the week too so saves them taking time off..... and that may or may not just affect who they choose if you are flexible to their needs...

[Paul Evans]

Yes I work w/e when required, charge the same price.
I think in this game we have to work round the customers need.

I keep the price the same if its a saturday, but if they want a sunday i will charge more

[Allan Simmons]

Like Billy, Same on Sat, Sun extra.

[Paul H]

SUNDAY = Football & Hungover!

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

Won't work on a Sunday.

Saturdays if domestic (but very rare) then same rate. If commercial then it's different pricing in any case.

same price regardless of weekend night time birthday. only time i charge extra is when the whole job cover maccies breakfast time. how very dare they

[Richard Basey-Fisher]

prefer working weekends  as the golf course is quiet during the week   

[Craigp]

I don't work weekends I can earn enough in the week 

[Craigp]

That's not set in stone though and il do commercial weekends.

[wynne jones]

Saturdays are at a premium, therefore they are a premium rate.

[Hilton]

No of course not,

What other service provider charges extra for weekend work,,,,, If they did I would never use them.  What makes CC so special.

Weekends are family time for me.
If you cant earn enough money Mon - Fri then your not charging enough imo.
Lifes too short.

Don't agree sorry Mark, Some commercials ask for weekends!!! I assure you i do just fine Mon-Fri!  But if a chance comes in to earn some more, i just can't turn it down!! 

[Mike Halliday]

i work weekends, because i chose to not that i have too. its the good think about being self employed we get to chose our working hours. but i like to finish around 3pm in the afternoon during the week

[wynne jones]

That's the thing about forums you ask a question and you get a definitive answer. After all there can only  be one way to do things. 

[Jim_77]

I don't do domestics at weekends.  People often ask if I work Saturdays but always tell them that's when I do my commercial work.  Usually they find a way of accommodating!

The commercials I do on Saturdays normally compensate financially for the interruption to my weekend!  I charge a 25% surcharge for out of hours work, e.g. the Indian Restaurant that insists the work is done commencing 10.30pm on a Sunday evening.

[Mike Halliday]

I just tell them that weekends are very popular so the next free weekend is next month, unless its powerwashing which tends to be what i do at weekends then they get booked in
