Window Cleaning Forum / I just did not want this one!
« Last post by Jack Judd on Today at 11:12:13 pm »
Clean a lovely Cotswold retirement village.  All is well, newly built when i started 5 years ago.  Lovley pvc windows and beautiful stone sills.  5 years on and the sills are as the picture shows, a car crash.  Moss, mould, black spot, lichen etc etc.  its 3 stories high and they have asked if i can clean the sills.  Don’t want to say no as I don’t want to say no.  Just been on FWC ISOH health and safety course as a necessity to comply and come off safe contractor scheme.  This has slowed my recklessness down.  Anyone been asked to complete a similar stone sill job.  Thinking, hypo, jet wash, biocide, but any experience of such a sill clean will be appreciated

Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Talk to me about franchising please

Well you are if your abroad - I’d be quite p!seed investing several grand and ongoing fees to only get the franchiser only accessible by phone or email

I'm not sure why it matters. It's only window cleaning it would be worrying if you had franchisees that couldn't be self sufficient and need their hand holding. What is it that would need you in person ?

If the shoe was on the other foot you’d think the ‘boss’ was taking the piss.

It’s less than a hundred round here for a days hire. What muppets hire for £300 a day?

Didn’t Green pro do this. Lived in Thailand and ran his business remotely?
Not sure how he got on but to me he always came across as a bit of a w anker
I think Vin is the example, he seems to support his franchises and runs a very successful model. Although I would imagine he would tip his hat to Ian Lancaster.


He’s in the  Philippines

I have a few 70mm drainpipes connected to the side of wire baskets fitted. If anyone wants to have a look I will post a photo. Both baskets and 70mm pipe is cheap as chips.

Out of interest how much do you charge to hire it?

I charge £300 minimum, deliver and build it. Go and clean some windows and come back and remove it. Don't leave it overnight or it will disappear. Sometimes if its a quick job then I will help them and they will help me dismantle it.
