I hate doing internals and usually charge a minimum of double price.( the custy expects you to work for the same price as the outside) You need to have internal gear and work really clean. I suppose its ok to do if your just beggining and need more work.

I really avoid it and I will not clean a house/building where they smoke...

But indoor cleans I will do but for double...I do not really get asked for it that much so it has not really been a big issue for me.

But I have found it is just slower and more of a PITA than it is worth.

Others may love it though.

Cheers

Got the best of both worlds here though. The Squaddies will ask now and then if I do insides too, yes, double price. I have found that if I need 15 mins to do outside,I can do insides in about 20 minutes and I have a happy custy. I'm trad by the way.

With ze Guurmans, it's ALWAYS in and out with frames including frame folds and all the fiddly mechanisms. This is always by appointment and they are picky gits who will always call you back if you make a mistake. (Fly crap on ze vindow) ???

It's a nice job when you have finished and see really clean windows that even a Kraut can't moan about. ;D

I charge a bit more for insides 20-50% more,

I have thought about charging double but worroed it would cause bad feeling between with customers.

how do you lot sell it to custy at double or is it a case of takemit or leave it!

not knocking, i wish i was abit more brave

p.s jeff i'm still on garlic pills. ;)
the odd nip still though :(
