Interaction with window cleaner

Lived here nearly 6 years. Always had same window cleaner. All good. Couple of months ago was looking out of DD bedroom window and there looked to be a mark on the corner if the sill outside. ( Typically the but I couldn't reach. Mentioned to WC next time he came. He doesn't use ladders, he uses smart water and the long stretch ( hose?) to clean windows. Long story short. The mark wouldn't budge. Last month, he didn't clean the sill of the front bedroom. I asked if he could perhaps return and do this after he had finished next door but one. He then said words to the effect of, " you always seem to have a problem with me, I think we best leave it from now on". I was taken aback tbh I paid him ( online as I do) and haven't seen or heard from him since. Has he sacked / removed me from his customers now? I'm still not sure whatwhy this happened.

Looks like he's removed you from his list.
I honestly can't remember the last time I looked at my upstairs window sills. You sound a bit Hyacinth Bucket.

Sounds like it… maybe you caught him on an off day and he lost the rag…

I think your two small queries do not sound unreasonable as long as delivered politely?

Sounds like he was being defensive.

Find a new window cleaner and move on!

Generation of lazy snowflakes. He can’t be arsed working properly and wants money for nothing. I think you have had a lucky escape. I got rid of mine as he was costing a fortune and just spraying windows, and I was paying like a mug. Old fashioned window cleaners with ladders and a chamois are the way to go

Yeah you’ve been dumped. Time to find a new window cleaner.
