Update

Well to reply to you all, i havent realy been given anything to feed on, sounds like a couple of you are loosing faith, where i am has joe bloggs running round doing windows, we had a guy nock the door today 3 bed house £7.50, id have charged £8. but then what do i know ive read many forums and they all point to it being a realy good thing to do, as ive read many times you only get back what you put in, im happy to go out and do 9 to 5 7 days a week iff it gets me where i can eventuly sit comfortable, ye im convinced having read all that i have that i can do it and do it well, i like many are recently out of work, and cant no matter how hard i look at tho mo find anything so im here asking iff anyone can tell me what i need to do to start up, i know the area needs RELIABLE cleaners , the estates are all moaning for one , like ye he come a few times but blah blah blah, i want to do this what do i do. and please dont offer any more alternative work, somone said that everyone is doing it, in here id agree, but out there,,,,,,   thanks    i try to think positive lol

Yes this business has been approached by hundereds if not thousands of new people wanting to become a window cleaner, it will be extremely hard for you now, You should probably take a look around during the days of the week and see how many cleaners you spot.
