When I put the price up they agree saying " we will pay anything just dont leave our windows with big runs and spots on the windows !
Thats why you can charge extra ( for doing the job right first time ) ;D

Doesnt not matter if you trad or wfp you are employed by the custy to clean all windows where possible with wfp all windows.
I clean both ways trad and wfp its what some custy wants and never miss any windows or doors trad or wfp.
This is why some custy dont trust the good window cleaners missing and not cleaning frames myself cleans all and add it into my prices.

Sarcastic !! More like rude & disrespectful.
His single brain cell, which takes a moment off from it's normal day to day functions of breathing and occasionally grunting to make these ridiculous posts, does nothing positive for the industry.
Except to continually drive the gap between the two differing techiniques used by us all. Whichever, method we prefer to use, for whatever reason, should be a personal choice between us and our customers and we should be respected for that, not have one group of window cleaners either looking down their noses or even making fun at the expense of others.
When will this forum's moderators do anything about these pointless posts ????

totally agree some of these posts are totally pointless. i wouldnt dream of looking down my nose at fellow window cleaners .just trying to pass some tips on which i picked up after 20 years of trad cleaning . heres a little game you can play to relieve the boredom of tradding .me and my mate (he had 2 brain cells)used to see how long we could bump a bathroom window for (only on houses we hated doing or wasnt bothered about loosing) iwent 4 years on 1 house and 2-3 years on a few. once had to throw the scrim up at it once thought there was bird muck on it ,turned out it was 2 flies. ;D we started going a bit further and bumping lounge windows the record was 6 months till she sacked us . but the funniest thing is she set me back on 18 months ago cos she said the last guys were crap (us) i never saw her cos i never collect and my mate dosent work with me anymore so she dosent realize it was me . and yes i wfp the lot and no complaints off her ;D ;D the tip being keep on tradding (badly) ;)

how and whos time was i wasting ???

Trouble is Barry that cheating the custy is cheating the custy whether you are trad or wfp...
-
very true gold it was cheating the custy.but the point i should have made was that i had been trad that long i had hit a brick wall and wasnt bothered about some custys(the only ones i bumped were the pain in the arse custys)but now im wfp its kicked me on again wouldnt dream of bumping any windows

How can I avoid paying tax, please?
Don't earn more than £6,475 ;D

in fact this topic should make everyone see that wfp is far better than trad for the custy . the reason being since starting wfp (4 years ) not one window bumped , when iwas trad (24 years) i must have bumped thousands of windows.therefore the custy now gets better value for money ,cant argue with that ;) ;)

So basically you were a sh*t window cleaner who had to scam people to make enough money!! Can i please become a moderator so i can ban anyone who comes on here with they're c*ck in hand talking about how WFP is better than trad?! Especially as the reason they are WFP is because trad was too hard for them to cope with! :'(
