same here also gutter cleaning in and out
-
iv taken the decision that if anybody asks about fixing a bit of gutter etc , that these jobs are my cream ,i will milk these for all they are worth. not 100s of pounds or true fleecing, but just a decent earner to do the job right with new brackets and what have you

are you insured to fix gutters ?
I had to add that on my insurance policy, nothing worse than touching a gutter for it to come crashing down on someones new conservatory roof/ or car.

ah ,thats a very good point , im going to backpeddle on what i just said and refuse to do em. i already refused a "5 minute paint touch up on pebbledash " job and a "making a new doorstep "job,best i refuse point blank all those sideliner jobs .im a good refuser so hope dont get tempted by what may seem to be "big cat cream "
-
most of you when you get a full round will not want to do these" extra " jobs as it gets in the way of the cleaning!
im a window cleaner who can wash the conny roof/fascias/soffits/outside gutters etc and can provide a full valet service for the outside of anyones property but thats it!
NO gutter cleaning(emptying all the crap out)!
NO painting and decorating!
NO grass cutting!
NO fixing gutters!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

fully agree with dazmond, i have a full round so cant do all the side liners. The only thing i add on now is caravan wash which is to good money to refuse.
So i do wndows, upvc, connis, caravans, internal windows, and shop signage.
Dont even clean out gutters anymore now ladders have gone

I did a gutter clear out, fascia and gutter/soffits/barge boards and cladding clean and windows (one off) yesterday. It was ok as it was raining so meant I could still earn. But I think I will be turning down gutter clean out from now on, I felt quite unsafe on some of the awkward ones. Its pretty good money but I really do not enjoy doing any of the add ons including conny roofs.
-
I do gutters, fascia's, soffits, conny roofs, cladding and External windows and if require a good Internal clean too :o :D ;)
-
Pressure washing earns me much much much more money than window cleaning but I only do this when its raining so hard I cant clean windows. I only get around 10 jobs a year tho. Its the same with gutter cleaning. There is big money to be earned out there.
-
full time w/c ,dont need add ons the round is just up to date for a change ;)

hi bob do you advertise that you do pressure washing or is it just work you pick up from your window cleaning customers ?
do you think you could pick up more pressue washing work if wanted ?
cheers dave
-
I dont advertise anywhere other than the van and my website. Most of my pressure washing work is through my regular customers and Im not really sure if I could get more if I wanted to. But with better advertising.....who knows?
Most people have a pressure washer and are happy to spend a weekend on it but the ones I get, tell me they havnt got the time. I easily make £60-£80 per hours and sometimes more.
Hope that helps

yeah it was bad stan but how many people were on the forums saying they were struggling as they wasnt earning , summers the time when you can earn extra to put away for the bad months .

We do gutter cleans, upvc cleans, jetwashing, cleaning caravans, lawn cutting, weeding, pruning, planting schemes of and of course window cleaning. also odd bit of paving, cleaning decking/repainting etc
Only advertise windows/gardens though - pick up rest 'on the road'.
