I saw some abseiler guys working once, they were proper professional, really looked the biz.  I asked them, if they didnt mind, to tell me how much an abeiling window cleaner earns in a day.

I was shocked, he sayd about £65-£75 per day.

You can earn more doing houses!

He said the rates had dropped really low a few years ago when everyone and his dog (often climbing enthusiasts) started doing abseiling.

Iv got a mate that works for a company doing it all over the country. He earns £500 a week, gets his own van and gets all his expenses paid for so their must be good money in it.

No offense Danny, but £500 a week is not good money for window cleaning generally, nevermind highly skilled abseiling work.

Thats only £100 a day, you can earn more than that doing houses trad, and loads more using WFP, without the advanced training or risks involved.

I understand what your saying mate but he works for someone, im sure that lads working for someone else doing domestic work dont get £500 a week, a van and expenses. I would be doing it myself and hopefully getting my own work! If they can pay my mate £500 a week, a van and expenses and still make a profit im sure the money isnt that bad! Just my thoughts on it pal.
