I lost a customer today

[davewindowcleaner]

Not had this customer long,

I've only only cleaned her windows a few times, it a town house with wooden frames windows.

She say the water leak inside the house when I do her windows and would rather I do it the traditional way.

I didn't fancy going up 3 story high and how am I suppose to clean the windows above the consevatory with a ladder so she told me to leave it and don't come.

Gutted really, it was a good earner for 30 min job but I can understand where she coming from rather have dirty windows than wet floor.

This is not the 1st time though I've been having problems with wooden frames windows and i will be avoiding it from now on if I can.

Should have told her instead of paying for the windows to be cleaned she should be paying to get them fixed/re sealed. Lol

 

[davewindowcleaner]

You would of thought so if she can afford to have her windows cleaned.

yeh me thinks some windows have to be a lot more if done traditional way./emoticons/smile.png

I just left one like that as I did the neighbours and they moved and I had priced it wrong so thought I would just forget it....but ...she phoned me and I explained it wasnt worth me coming for the one house at twelve quid....so I said ...maybe fifteen....and she said ...I will give you eighteen....I still didnt want it but...hey ho I cant get away from bloody windows at the mo...

I said to her...you dont mind my new wfp....she said no the results were great..

he hadnt noticed...

but the water ran out half way through one georgian lot half way through a window and so I decided to trad the other half as my ladders were out...boy trad is hard work on georgians..

I wonder if she can even get a trad window cleaner to replace you...?

Well I would love to know how a window cleaner can clean the windows above the conservatory in the trads way. No one in their right mind would be brave enough to stand on glass roof!

ffs luv there is a maserati in the drive the house in same devolpment is for sale at 500,00

and ur worried bout a 60 quid gutter clear lol

some peeps are tight

 

[jgttdi]

Sorry for your loss

As has already been said it's not your workmanship that's the issue it's the leak, she would be better getting that fixed first.

 

[rafawindowcleaning]

Maybe because there is a maserati in the drive and she lives in a fancy house she dont have any money because she pays a fortune for both each month

 

[Dave B]

She's probably spent it all on auto electrician as maseratis never work..just like lambos

 

[peter rogers]

everyone knows theres some people just have more pride in there homes
