Get asked by a customer yesterday to go and see her sister and quote her for window cleaning.
Has she got a cleaner at moment I asked ..... no she never has them done came reply ....... Aha so a 1 off in time for Christmas then I guessed
Parting shot from my customer is not to be too expensive as she not got a lot of money !!!
Goes to address this afternoon and finds it a big old turn of century large 5 bed victorian house.
All frames were wooden and were very very chalky so imagining windows looking like white dulux been thrown on em as soon as water hits them.
24 winows + massive conny.
Explained to customer will prob take a few visits to get all dust off frames and maybe even longer as paint gone chalky and as they not been cleaned for about 5 years I would need to charge extra the 1st time.
Quoted £60 for 1st clean then £30 going foward
Stunned silence from customer then she says the classic "Old Ted used to do them for a fiver" ... was expecting to pay £10 as a one off.
