Most expensive house - £270.00
Quickest Earner - £95 (20 mins WFP)
Biggest half day - £425 (Saxon Fields)
Biggest Day - £1100 (Burghclere Down)


if i ever have work like this I'd be bu$%ered if i would be telling anyone about it, just remember what happened to the plumbing trade, the national press had a field day with plumbers earning £70,000 a year. now there are hundreds of plumbing schools and a huge amount of newly qualified/qualifying plumbers. its supply and demand at its most basic.

there are some great accounts out there undoubtedly but if we all keep shouting about them then there will definately be an influx of window cleaners and hence falling income for everyone! not something that any of us would like to see I'm sure!

so just for the record my biggest job is £15.00 and it takes me 1 hour and a half!

I aint telling porkies. £600 is my best day... I've also got a couple of £400 days and about 3 £300 days. The rest are between £200 and £250. All WFP.

Unfortunately I've still some trad bungalows about 3 days worth which I struggle to £150 a day.

dunno if one of my customers watched me clean there windows which took 1 hour then i asked for £100 i think they would thing i was winding them up.

I know the big boys in London are charging 20% less than that for 2 operatives for 1 hour. 

I think we all have snippets of big money but nothing like the prices quoted here.

I liase with successfull window cleaners all over the country and i can tell you these figures are just not normal.

So you high earners keep it to yourself before someone poaches it off you at a 1/4 of the price.

What do you mean "unfortunatley"?
You won't do bungalows quicker with wfp, unless your really slow by hand. :-\

So you high earners keep it to yourself before someone poaches it off you at a 1/4 of the price.
Too right Dave.
Wish those "big earners" lived by me. ;D
1/4 price would still make me better off....

theres definetly some b---shi----s out there. or i am doing something wrong in this business. been cleaning windows for six years and all i ever seem to do is pay out, what i earn if. its not the tax man its fuel, or materials, or vehicle and  then when i have just a couple of few pennys left my missis asks for the rest , so i need to change the way this business is run ' :o',
