i do find it rather odd that some of these guys call themself window cleaners and cant even master the skill of doing trad.
always gives me a laugh when i hear that. ;D

it such a skill to have,and comes in use
so you are a window washer only then ;D

Cleaning windows is a highly skilled job - after all you need an NVQ to do it. Lots of studying and exams at the end of it.
Don't think it applies to wfp though - any idiot can stick 100 feet of pole in the air and waggle it about with no qualifications at all.  :o

TRAD great for some work but its limited to less than 20% of my work now.advantages?there are certain windows that just dont come up good with wfp.usually perished rubber seals.also its easier for some work than dragging a hose around.handy for doorways and large plate glass windows esp if its an older customer on a cold day(not leaving water lying around that could freeze).disadvantages?its usually a bit slower not by much though if your a good tradder!


WFP IS KING FOR MOST WORK!!!it really is!!after 20 months wfp i can burn through my work much faster with less fatigue,earn more,safer and complete work to a better standard for time spent on the job.disadvantages?not many IMO.the odd snagging issues and small equipment problems but there usually easily rectified.the cost of equipment and van running costs are higher thats for sure but easily paid for by the increased earning power that having wfp gives you.

some of the jobs ive picked up this year i wouldnt attempt to clean off ladder.too risky,too slow and woudnt be able to hit some of the hourly rates i can earn these days.

Using a squeegee is not a skill in any sense, it's just a knack. Hell I can do it with my feet if my hand's get cold enough and the window is not to high!!
Do you stick a broom up your arse and sweep up the leaves at the same time?

I think all trad guys should be lined up in front of their families and shot. That would stop these pointless debates and prevent them falling off their ladders.
