Nothing against you but there seem to be someone everyday wanting to take up window cleaning ???

Most window cleaners would be happy to be out there earning at the minute but to show someone the ropes......no chance.

Have you any experience window cleaning or is it a spare of the moment decision
Have tried looking for contact details on internet or directory for window cleaning companies and contacted them direct
or are you looking to build up your own round and how much money and time have you got to invest
maybe start with family,friends and neighbours windows
is there a window cleaner in your area

Me too; the ice is a total killer workwise.

Rain suddenly feels refreshing and welcome, not like the used-tampon-eating revulsion feeling that snow and ice give me.

been thinking about it for a year or so
looking really for a job where I'm my own boss
 we are having a bit of a lifestyle change so I will need a lot more time off more than I could get in previous job also I won't need as much money coming in as my outgoings have been reduced to almost nothing
where we are they seems to be probably a dozen or so listings but I've had 3 different ones this year alone doing my windows they just disappear or are total monkeys
I am looking at working for myself  need to flexability

I think there is room around here for someone reliable
my last window cleaner has not been seen sinse august and I've had no one knocking sinse June

only looking at working 3 / 4 days a week

I'm based in Crawley if that's any help.
I do very little traditional W/Cing these days though.
Also, I would need you to be insured if you were to spend some time working with me.
