Would you give discount?

To someone who owns a few houses and wants the gutters clearing on 4 of them and they are all in the same road? Plus his plush house. The 4 houses are on a busy road with no rear access from what I can see on Google maps. Mr phoned and wanted them doing for £30 each :laugh:

Think I'll pass on this one.

Lol, four houses for the price of one. :rofl:I'm sure someone desperate will take it.

Madness, why does he assume he can suggest a price?

Hi Mr Builder, can you build me an extension please..........I'll give you £250. :rofl:

The access alone is enough to put you off doing just one of them! Reckons last year a bloke ran a hose pipe along the gutters and blasted the **** out. I told him straight that I wouldn't do them cheap. If he can afford 4 houses to rent out, he can afford to maintain them!

Dunno, depends if access is that bad or not. If they were done only a year ago and no trees about likely to be fairly clear still, with a gutter vac going along 4 houses in the same street, take no time at all.

2 next to each other, one 5 doors down and 1 across the road. It's a very busy road too. Getting to the rear looks like I would have to go through the house or garage. So all properties would have to be unlocked. Also, he said some tenants were complaining of water getting in, which means a they are blocked badly.

I'm supposed to be having a look on Friday, think I'll forget to go /emoticons/biggrin.png

Hmmm if water getting in then yeah, and also if access is a pain in the ass then would want more money, I would go and have a look though, never know access might be easier than it looks on google /emoticons/smile.png

Also the landlord might have keys for them all so might be able to get access easy enough anyway.

by the the time you go ***** around gd time wasted, you could have couple of jobs done.,

tuffers sounds more hassle than what it is worth

Just because he is one our barter friends I would want £30 upfront for each property just to do a proper gutter camera survey and nothing else. Then if he wants to get his mate in with his hose all be it /emoticons/biggrin.png

Agree Duncs, nothing worse than chasing a all day :laugh:

I still can't get over that mansion that @cheapncheerful done inside and out for £75 /emoticons/biggrin.png

The old boy grandfather barter friend was sat on his ride on mower watching him doing it too. Then made sure he wasn't missing any windows out by asking him have you done so & so. WTF :laugh:
