Pylo, just had one this morning and it was all I could do not to laugh and say "how much???" Usual story, my old wc has not been for a while (probably 5 months with the state of the windows!). So as always, ask for the business name of the "old one" and how much were you paying? If the "ole one" is a bonifide wc then that gives a good idea what the area is prepared to pay. If it is below our price guide, then there is no point in taking them on. Also you can get hold of the "ole one" and find out why they haven't gone back
Answer from lady.... his name is Dean!!! and i don't have a number to get hold of him!!! he charged me £12 per month. Swallow the laughter and clear my throat. Ah, Mrs (not to be )customer, I would charge £12 for the fronts and this porch area only, would you like me to carry on? Oh... yes please.
Fine, but you ain't gonna like it lady!!! £20.00 plus vat was the answer.Once i picked her off the floor, she asked why so dear and I explained that this is the going rate for this sort of property in this area and I suspect that Dean didn't come back as he realised he had underpriced and didn't like to say so. She said she will phone.....bet she doesn't.
