Recived this website quote request this morning
GUTTERING AND FASCIA AND WINDOWS. 4 BED DETACHED HOUSE. HAVE BEEN QUOTED £46 WONDERED IF YOU COULD BETTER THE QUOTE
My email reply was:
Hi *****
Thank you for your enquiry.
The answer would be no as I pride myself on a high standard of work therefore I would quote accordingly on visiting the property to see what needs doing. Also I do not need to price match nor better other quotes just so to win work as I don't have too as I work mainly from recommendations and repeat business.
£46 to check & clear the inside of the guttering & downspouts, clean the outside of the guttering, fascias & soffits including the apex at the front. Then clean the windows and doors on your 4 bed detached property quite frankly sounds silly cheap to me. Even without checking & clearing the guttering and downspouts is still very cheap.
May I ask which firm quoted you that amount and how long did they say it would take roughly?
The reply was: They didnt say how long could you visit and do a quotation for me.
I have not responded yet ...what do you think I should say ???/emoticons/biggrin.png
