Charge more.  If they're desperate and it's short notice, suggest a price that you'd be happy to work a Saturday morning for.

[SeanK]

Totally agree everything has a price.

My busiest times tend to be the weekends for full exterior cleaning jobs. Pays very well indeed so I don’t have to do much the rest of the week.

I've had a few like that in my time too. Never use the front door types and move your van around the back too while you are at it young man....Then the classic one keep chasing for payment and sometimes wait 3 months to get bloody paid the tight arse toffs

Not a chance. I worked the odd Saturday when I first started to get me noticed, but haven't worked at the weekend in over 9 years. Not about to start on my anniversary weekend either. Dead man walking

I don't mind doing add ons on a Saturday. I have a gutter vac job worth £195 which will take about 2 hours.  can't grumble at that
