I'll have a go.  Gan on ask a question... I'll sort you out!? 

[gerard mcmanus]

Lol,    I like it mate

serious question though

Does one service, cleaning that is, have a higher mark up on average. e.g

Window Cleaning, Scratch removal, Drop chair W/C, Gutter Cleaning, Preasure washing.

If one person was the stick to one service, then another for each service, and fill the weeks back to back with work. Is one more likely to make the higher income, due to markup on this service.

My point is what is the most profitable additional service.

If I want to boost my income should I get wor lass to work for me; and would she be better at shining or canvassing?

So I'm not a numpty really, despite what Squeaky says about me. 

He is, honest.

To keep this as a window cleaning thread I've deleted some of the replies rather than move it to the any other business section.

If you all wish to continue in the same humorous vein that is fine, but it will have to be shunted into the other section should you wish to do so...

And Tosh, don't tell me Simon is looking into the WFP side of things is he??

And Tosh, don't tell me Simon is looking into the WFP side of things is he??

Yes, I've already shown him through it months ago.

Tosh will claim credit for it though.

Quote from Malc:

Forget about Your Lass canvansing or cleaning windows; do what I do; it ensures you keep good accounts.

What I would suggest is on larger commercial stuff is to get Your Lass to carry a clipboard, a tape measure and a large funnel about.

If any of your customers ask what that's about, just shake your head and say, 'You don't want to know'.  Imply it's got something to do with WAHD 2005 and 'ladders aren't allowed anymore'.

You could also use a car battery, a paint roller and a jar of marmite.  Anyone carrying such a combination about about is sending the message, 'I have a long boring story to tell, if only you have an hour-or-two to listen'.

You'll get left alone to clean those windows.

Next...

That's quite funny actually.

You're alright sometimes.

Where can you get trained as a chimney sweep? I'm dead serious, the local sweep is now charging £50 per pot, and will only come if you can get him another customer in the same street. He did both and was gone within an hour.
You don't see those guys bragging about their earnings on forums.

Buy you're sweeping gear from screwfix buy a small vacuum cleaner and away you go, like w/c its not rocket science.

That and coal men truely is a dead trade, do you think anything could seriously threaten ours, and As Seen On Tv Window Wizard doesn't count.

 Would you not need special filters on the vac? Blanking off the fireplace is another worry, mine is rough sand stone.
I had a window cleaner do my chimney once, bloody soot everywhere.

What happened to Jeff1's lack of hair and success question?

Ian_Giles, you git, I have a valid - work related - answer to it; I can't believe you deleted his post; especially while I was formulating the answer while eating dinnner!

Wor Lass was asking me - in-between chomping on her pasta - what was on my mind (my blank expression must've gave her the impression I was thinking about something), and I couldn't tell her the truth, 'Er, Jeff1's hair'.

So I just said, 'Winda cleaning stuff'.

That shut her up!

Jeff, if you want to re-ask your question, you're quite welcome too.
