To tell the window cleaner that I don't want to use him anymore...

[Oneflipflop]

or am I over reacting.
Last week he fell off his ladder whilst cleaning our windows. Thankfully he wasn't hurt but was understandably shaken up. He fell approx 7 foot when his ladder slipped. I spent about an hour with him, made him tea and made sure he was ok.

He broke the drainpipe, but accidents happen, and I'm just pleased he is ok.

I pay him by BACS, and was still going to pay him...but he put a bill through the door.

I was so surprised, even though I had intended to pay him...I just didn't expect him to charge me.

Anyway, I've paid him but am intending not to use him again.

Am I being unreasonable?

give him a bill for the drainpipe first before you tell him..

[SauvignonBlanche]

Had he cleaned any windows before he fell off?

[NarcolepsyQueen]

Did he finish cleaning your windows?

[AnOldieButNotSoGoody]

Did he know that he broke the drainpipe?

Did you talk about it?

[Fisharefriendsnotfood]

If I was you I'd keep using him. You could
End up with trying to sue you.. Do you know if he has insurance?

Thanks all, and to answer your questions:

I'm not sure if he finished the windows, they're done monthly so don't get that dirty.

He doesn't have insurance re loss of earnings, I didn't ask about liability cover.

I'm not worried about the drainpipe, he did point out that he'd broken it. It's the principle really.

Yes it's a bit cheeky, don't know if I would argue the bill but if you don't want him just tell him you don't need a window cleaner anymore as your cutting down on expenses

Good idea Piglet, that's a nice way to put it...thanks.
