k F C,Greggs,carphone W/h,Subway dont bother
« on: December 18, 2012, 07:31:45 pm »
I have in the recent past been asked for quotes for all of the above(among others) I have to say that i now just tell them that i dont want to quote as the prices they want them doing for are ridiculous.(as an exercise i once estimated a job to be £15 but said a tenner and still didnt get the gig! so had to smile) They seem to think that we should be privileged to be cleaning there windows. So to all of you who look on in awe at the guys doing these jobs and are hoping to get these "contract"jobs dont bother.

Ditto, waste of time.

Had a national wanting me to do a builders clean on a new Next store, told them I wouldn't even waste my time going to the site to quote!

If all comercial guys started targeting houses then i bet you wouldn't be saying that. It would be the same story of prices getting pushed lower and lower until the £6 front would be 3 or 4 quid!

this is the problem with all commercial though, they get a contractor in say 2-3 years then put it on tender and look for a cheaper price if they don't get one then they just carry on with the current fella.

 Always wanting a cheaper price... things go up as the years go on not down  ??? ive never understand it if that keeps happening it wont be worth getting out of bed for commercial... find it very bizarre.

what a load of drivle
differance is when i pull into town centre
i clean most of it !!!
and at some point will be cleaning all off it !!!!
pays on time every month
its all weather work . best thing a lot of you can do is stick
to your supposed minimum charge of £10 domestics,
go do em in the pouring rain see if they pay!!!
though to be honest 90% on here cant even trad,!!!
so to call yourselfs window cleaners is quite a joke to be honest
blah blah blah  ;) dreamers and pie in the skyers
most to busy typing on ere than cleaning windows
