If you have gaps then fill them with one off's. Just price them as one off's.  Try to get a commitment for regular clean. If not, so be it.  Get all their details - in the worst case scenario, you maybe able to canvass them again for a Christmas clean next year if you still have gaps.

You might get the odd one off but there is still work to be picked up at this time of the year.

I reckon even one-offs beat having not enough work.

I  have a few customers who I only see this time of year or on special occasions. I fit them round my regular work, so it's all good.

Not massive gaps just tye odd day that needs filling due to loosing a few jobs to a national. It's not emergency to fill just thought might Aswell crack on and fill any gaps from now til new year.
