Commercial wise yes!
The standards of most commercial places gas gone right down hill! Years ago windows would be cleaned very regular... Carpets to. But now it's once to three times a year on some of our big commercial jobs and some don't have it done at all!
Domestic wise sort of
A lot more wc about now, few years back I'd see about three different wc companies a week, now see about 5 or 6 a day! Yes wfp has helped a lot more wc start up. The one annoying thing I found with domestic customers thinking of saving a few pounds- they cancel the windows as trying to cut back on spending etc but within 6 months they realise they can't do it themselves and end up getting another wc and with so many about it's just the luck of the draw in which wc they see down the road on say a random day off the customer has etc ... I find doing the odd Saturday helps, I've done certain roads for years and never picked up a certain house in a road, put flyers in it etc ... But doing the odd sat on most customers days off always pays off and they see you or the van in the road and come over for a chat about the windows, normally get the normal line from them - been looking for a wc for months, did know we had one in the road etc ...
