Post by: Tom White on May 10, 2010, 08:36:24 am: Personally I prefer window cleaning to gutter cleaning (so I try to charge well for gutter cleaning), and I don't find window cleaning stressful or any pressure; as long as we don't have a long spell of harsh weather.

That's the beauty of our job! I tend to save my gutter cleaning jobs for when the weather looks a bit 'dodgy' for routine domestic window cleaning.

Dave did you just clear that gutter out or was it just an inspection?

Just an inspection.

Glad there wasn't any dirt up there, Don't think we are going to offer the service for too long, it doesnt really fit with what we do.

the way you list the areas you window clean is that purely to let people know or is that for search engine optimisation purposes???

I cover a vast area and dont want customers being put off, because they percieve me to be too far away, so i really emphasise that we do travel.

Yes we still clean domestics, but dont have it on our website.

I am caught between the devil and the deep blue sea with that one, i want to attract commercial clients without them thinking i am a domestic window cleaner, but still want to do some domestics.

The website is an ongoing project so things could change soon.

Post by: windowswashed on May 10, 2010, 10:38:45 pm: I hate doing gutter cleans even though I've got a gutter vac ;D Much prefer to laze in bed if it's lousy weather for cleaning windows. Still got one I can't fob off as he authorises payment for cleaning a church I clean unfortunately.
