2. Glass Scratch/Graffiti Removal.
3. Graffiti Removal.
4. Pressure Washing
5. Carpet Cleaning.
6. General Cleaning.
7. Steam Cleaning.
8. IPAF License.

Any other ideas of additional services I could offer?

Work hard, get paid and get laid!

No I want to leave my job and start my own round off in the new year. Hopefully fill my books by next christmas to give my family the christmas they deserve and maybe a holiday the year after. Never took my family abroad, I'd love to see my wifes face. She loves the sun but the most exotic country I've took her to is Wales. Don't get me wrong I love Wales but a change is as good as a rest.

My goal for next year is to match my domestic turnover with commercial work... I only have 2 commercial jobs at the moment, but a large(ish) domestic round.

Good luck, colley  ;).

I tend to limit the "extras" that I do and stick as much as possible with windows.  This seems to be easier for my head rather than chopping and changing.  I started my accounting year on October 1st.  I have a turnover target to aim for (not divulging it here though) and I am a sole trader. I'm slightly behind it at the moment because I needed to have some lighter days due to what I think was carpal tunnel syndrome (it's intermittent).  That seems to have passed and I'm flying again.

Mine is to make a go of being 100% commercial.

As from Dec 1st I will have no more houses. As long as I keep adding to the commercial client base everything should be fine...hopefully

I'm exactly the same now... All I do is take on repeat window cleaning work, can't be bothered with chasing one offs etc...

To hit the target that I require, which will help in reducing the credit card debt that I've got myself into :o
