Hi
Im thinking of branching out into the Window Cleaning Industry.I already run a Carpet Cleaning Business and want to expand my services.
I live in the Leeds 15 area ( X-gates,Colton,Whitkirk,Temple Newsam).
Im looking for a few days out work experience with a Window Cleaner.
Obviously I dont want to step on anybodys toes,so a Window Cleaner out of this area would be better.
I would work for free!!

Must be mad mate. We do both, and I'd rather do more carpet cleaning ;D
-
why do you want to branch out to windows then thought carpets was a easy earner
-
The reason I want to try my hand at Window Cleaning is because most people only have carpets cleaned once a year.Pitch that against most people have their windows cleaned once a fortnight.The income is more regular.Im sure most of my work will continue to be cleaning carpets,but using Window Cleaning as gradual earnings could help me achieve a more regular income.At the moment money is great one week,then poor the next.
Cheers
Chris

Not had any that want fort nightly - quoted tonight & the guy wanted 8 weekly, most want 4/6 & some 12 weekly & some just want the gold out your fillings- a lot of competition out there as well.
-
Yep, no fortightys here too....
our canvassing results have all but stopped lately... no phone calls either... too much competition out there these days ::)
-
you will find it hard in this economic climate to get all 2wkrs
-
I think the days of 2 weeklys are gone now,yeah you may get them on it for 2/3 cleans then they get fed up of it,especially if theyre not in to pay and you collect a few days before cleaning it.
4 weekly is more affordable for people.

6-8 here in oxfordshire
-
Most of the shops and hotels we do are weekly or fortnightly 75 per cent of domestic is monthly the rest bi monthly
-
Ok,thanks for the advice everyone.Its now clear that the majority of people want windows cleaning every 3/4 weeks.
I still fancy giving it a go,so im still on the look out for a few days work experience with a kind soul.
Cheers Chris.

C'mon guys,still waiting for somebody to volunteer to show me the ropes.Once again I live in Leeds 15,so I dont expect anybody from that surrounding area to help.Surely there must be somebody in Bradford,Wakefield,Selby,Huddersfield etc etc who I could work with for a day.
