Afternoon all...
Been a while since I have been on but my regular window cleaner seems to have done a moonlight flit! Despite me seeing him in the street the other day and asking if he was doing my windows today (havent been done in nearlly 6months) he said he missed me last time because he was on holiday.
Suprise suprise though he didnt clean them the other day & I am still left with dirty windows... really annoyed as the other week I threw away a flyer that another company put through the door.
I am in Crossgates area so if you cover this area of Leeds please can you give me a shout as I am looking for someone to clean my windows.
Regards
Richard.

Richard,
In my experience when a window cleaner stops doing a house but continues to clean the rest of the street the issue usually lies with the customer. Be it a poor payer, rude or unreasonably fussy! Which one are you?
You say your windows haven't been cleaned in nearly 6 months yet you threw a window cleaning leaflet away last week! I don't think your completely on the level.
Just what I can pick out from your post if we cleaned in your area I wouldn't be offering our services!

do em ya self ;D

I think that's a rather rude response. He has cleaned my windows twice since he's been doing them I have always paid on time by bank transfer when he has left a card saying he has been. I have never doubted his cleaning or queried him on it till now whe he failed to attend.
Given the fact he has my contact details he didn't even respond to my email asking of he would be cleaning them because he hadnt been. I think it's more the fact he can't be bothered to clean them or feels he under charges me.
If he doesn't want to clean them why say when your approached that you will be cleaning them then fail to do so?
I have just spoke to the neighbours across the road and they say he has missed them several times as well... very unreliable.

Yes it was rather rude but it is often the case that a customer in your situation is often a problem.
IMO, the rudeness was in assuming that this is always the case. It isn't. Although it's true that there are plenty of good window cleaners who are messed about by customers, the reverse is also true. I've taken on customers before who have been dropped in the way that you have and I've wondered when the problems will start. Often I will still be cleaning for them years later and they are perfectly good customers. I can think of one instance when a customer used to tell me awful things about their neighbour (I wasn't interested though). Several years later the gossip moved away, the neighbour asked me to start cleaning - and she is a good customer.
I work down in sunny Sussex myself so it's not practical to pop round and give a quotation :) . If you bump the thread a few times though I don't doubt someone from that area will be on.

Thank you Paul for your constructive comments... much more helpful.
I have had problems with window cleaners in the past missing cleans or doing half a job because htey know your out then coming round to collect the money only to be told, you missed the back windows etc... then trying to deny that they havent missed them.
Just a bit odd really that he has missed them again... he is left to get on with it and only communication I had with him was when he put a card through the door and I emailed to confirm I had sent payment through the bank etc.

It's also good to see that a clean set of windows is that important to some people that they take the time and make the effort to find that "good cleaner".
Well done mate ;D
Why not post more details of your property type and windows that need looking after, a pic if possible is worth a thousand words an all.
There will be someone here soon that will pick up the work I'm sure, the're probably either all in the Pub watching the England Rugby :( , or still being busy cleaning for lots of satisfied customers ;)
-
maybe he knows youre a "checker " , checking the results . far as i know ive no checkers on my round

Thank you VSP Home Care... Having a clean house and windows is very important to me I would just like to find someone who is reliable and isnt going to keep letting me down.
I have posted before on here for a window cleaner when the previous window cleaner ended up going to jail for some reason (found this out when he returned 10months later expecting to pick up where he left off only to be told I had got someone else).
THe property is a victorian house converted into flats. Mine is the ground floor property. however as the property slopes at the sides ladders would be needed for the side windows however still at ground floor level.
Dont really want to post a picture on the internet... hope you can understand etc.
Someone above suggested I clean them myself... most unhelpful as if I could do them myself or had the time to do them I would not be on here posting would I.
I have used this forum in the past for carpet cleaners and have found some very good people who were reccomended.
Thanks.

I get them done every 6 weeks - its a bit obvious when they have missed windows though when the others you can see out of them and the others you cant see out still!
-
therein lieth thyne problem - sorry, this computer is so old even the typing is olde style.
anyway, most window cleaners work monthly so if you were to go monthly (as opposed to 6 weekly) I think you'd have a much better chance of getting a decent reliable cleaner.
Also to give you an idea of price, we normally charge £1 to £1.50 per window, so lets say a double opener with a large window beneath will be at least £1 - so do a quick total of your windows and you will get a rough idea of what you should be paying (for exampe, a standard 3 bed semi with us is £8 to £10) If you were being charged less then thats another reason why he may not be cleaning your windows.
We always charge a minimum of £10 if we have no other customers on the same stop.
Hope the info helps.
Either way, drop him - tell him you don't want him back because underpriced or not he should stick to his word and keep cleaning your windows.

Sorry its not 6 weekly its every 8 weeks he comes round monthly though allegedly.
He charges us £5, thats a price given by him and is the same as what the last guy charged us.
-
At a guess I'd say that price is low and that might indicate how he goes about his work, low price = low standard of work and unreliability to boot.
I'll assume you have no local friends that could recommend otherwise you wouldn't be here asking.
Everyone I've seen here so far are the opposite, I hope someone pops up and you find Mr reliable. You could also put an ad in the rounds section of the site as I'm sure lots of people looking for work will scan through their regularly.
Your on the right path though, recommendation is the best way to go :)
-
Pop into your local Doctors Surgery/Dental Surgery and ask for the name of their window cleaner - you'll find that places like these are normally very conscious of having clean windows and will only use someone who does a good job and is reliable - either that or try some high street shops.
Be prepared to pay more though for a quality service - at the end of the day you pay for what you get in life.

Just a thought. Is there an access problem getting around to your back windows? e.g. locked gate.
-
No none at all the property is open and has no gates etc.
Even if there was he always sAid he had cleaned when he hadn't.

I think we are over cooking the chicken here, The guy just wants a new window cleaner. simples.

It's probably a case of the cleaner underpricing, more than him being a bad customer.

Yes I have used that already I am not stupid. Thats where I found the last unreliable guy so thought would be worth asking on here, word of mouth and all that.

I can't believe how people talk to potential customers! and then wonder why windys have a bad name!

There's a few ppl on here who have replied and I thought cut the attitude! No wonder many people don't bother with window cleaners.
-

It beggars belief doesn't it?
As some others have said, my hunch is that it's underpriced and the window cleaner didn't have sufficient assertiveness to discuss it.
However, to say they have been cleaned when they haven't is probably fraudulent. That's another matter altogether. I say "probably" because I doubt that there is a single window cleaner who hasn't got distracted and accidentally left a window at some time. It's especially easy to do when cleaning a lot of similar looking properties and getting caught up in the repetitiveness.

Too true. There must be some reasonable reliable cleaner in the area.
Perhaps not anyone who comes on here though.

I've just googled for a wc in Leeds and this came up. How simple is that?

How to find / keep a reliable window cleaner.
Agree a frequency and price and stick to it. Pay rather more than you would expect. If yours is a ground floor Victorian gaff then it will likely have big windows that are sliding sash and a bit ropey on the frames. Not a pleasant job. So think in terms of a tenner rather than a fiver. Every 8 weeks is fine.
Some do's.
Say "Hi, Mike (Fred, Shirley or whatever) how are you?"
Say "I'm making a brew do you want one?"
Say "I'll pay you now and let you get on." (Or "I've got no cash but I'll pay you online today.)
Be friendly polite and quick in your dealings with the windy. We like FPQ and respond similarly.
Make a parking space available if you are in a difficult to park area.
Some don't evers.
Say "leave it this time please" when windy turns up and is ready to go.
Say "I don't like all that water on the floor" when he uses wfp.
Say "I'm on holiday next time so leave it next month".
Faff about getting your cheque book and keep the windy waiting.
Say "Can you come back later/ at 3.30/ next Wednesday."
Pay late.
Ask for the inside kitchen window to be done for free.
Expect paint spots to be removed free because you haven't got the painter/yourself to do a good job.
Ditto Fence paint overspray.
Ditto Sealant on the glass
Ditto Sellotape residue from when you left a sign for the last "unreliable" windy saying don't clean this time the Martians might be coming for tea.
Say "My dog goes mental when you call so only call on the fifth Monday in Julember at 6 pm when I take him for walkies."
If there is a genuine problem start with:-
"I hope you don't mind me mentioning it but ...""
"Confidentially, I'm afraid I'm having money problems and ..." (not let the windy clean for three months and then stiff him when you get chucked out by the landlord)
A bit tongue in cheek but I hope we understand one another ... ;)
-
Ok so I was overly blunt, this is more down to the fact that I remember and got quite bored of his last search for a window cleaner. Also the last time I looked this was a Window Cleaning forum for window cleaners not for customers looking for one, there are a million and one of them a few of which have been suggested to him.
I can't believe how people talk to potential customers! and then wonder why windys have a bad name!
I'm guessing that your comment is directed at me as I'm the only one who has been 'rude'.
I don't clean in Leeds or have any intention of doing so, so he isn't a potential customer of mine & I would suggest the 3 or 4 forum members who last time agreed to quote him and didn't turn up would give WCer's a worse name in his eyes than my comments.
Right Richard let me be a little more constructive, you say your flat is part of a large Victorian house if you had the agreement of your neighbours to find a window cleaner for the whole property I guarantee you would have window cleaners falling over each other to get the job, failing that using a rule of thumb of £1 per window (£2 for very large ones) why don't you price up your own property and the next window cleaner who offers to do it 8 weekly for £5 you suggest you pay nearer the figure you come to (I know you shouldn't have to but there is obviously a problem with window cleaners underpricing your job), that way you should get a reliable window cleaner who thinks you are a great customer.
If you are still struggling to find websites and media in your search for a window cleaner I will happily post 10 examples.
Regards
Al

THank you...
Few comments from me...
1. Why would the fact that they are not doing the whole building put them off doing the windows? Being a large victorian property my flat alone probably has the same windows as a standard sized town house.
2. He was cleaning the other flats at one stage, I know he was charging a £5 for those as well and £2 for the basement flat (3 very tiny windows). Other houses across the road which are not flats but the full size terraces he charges £5 for them.
3. If I come to nearlly £10 as a figure then I think even suggesting I pay that to them if they are suggesting a fiver they will prob be no more reliable if I suggested £10 (5 yrs ago I used to pay £10 to someone)
ALso Al, I know you mention you got bored last time of looking for replies but considering I contributed in the carpet cleaning section of the forum etc I thought worth an ask on here for a window cleaner. You are correct though in what you say last time I got offered a few people on here to do quotes, neither of which turned up and no response to messages.

HA, laughed at some of these but I am a good customer, he is just left to get on with it. I work shifts so many times I am asleep in bed or out at work when he comes so as soon as I see his card when I get home I do a bank transfer of the payment he never has to chase this way and said it was easier for him this way as well as easier for me.

Actually your the fool to post such a sarcastic original reply... Saying how easy is that! Given that I have already tried YP and google several times this is a good place to look and many people who have replied agree with me.

has any one on here bothered to read "dick1983"s back postings
sounds to me some people are a pain in the glarse

Yes they are and I thought this forum was better than that. Some of the replies have been most rude.
Is this how adults speak to each other? Very immature

Do them yourself ya lazy git ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just wanted to give you guys an update...
The other weekend I had a quote done from someone who uses the waterfed pole method. He contacted me through the site as he had come across this post.
Today he came back to do the first clean on them. Fantastic guy, really friendly spent a good deal of time getting them clean. I think the windows are cleaner than they ever have been particulary the surrounds.
The WFP method is really good as it literally rinses all the dirt off.
Hes going to be doing my windows every 8 weeks and I will certainly reccomend him to neighbours if they want windows cleaning.
All those who were quick to judge me when you dont even know me I thought were totally out of order - I am not a bad customer at all. The trouble was with the window cleaner who clearly didnt want the work.
I am happy the job has now gone to someone who seems very trustworthy, responsible & polite.
Not sure if I can mention his name on here but he is reccomended.
-
how much did he charge? wish you were near me, you sound an ideal customer
-

£15 for first clean then £10 every 8 weekly clean.
Very fair price and reasonable.
-

Richard, I was one of those judging you and to be truthful I was mostly irritated that for a second time you were on a Window Cleaning Trade Forum searching for a window cleaner instead of using the Yellow Pages or Google.
Not sure if I can mention his name on here but he is reccomended.
Why would you need to recommend him to us, we are all Window Cleaners!

Whats the problem with me looking here for a window cleaner... is this exclusively for window cleaners. How bloody unreasonable do you have to be? Cheer up smile dont be so miserable.
I had no luck on yellow pages so I thought I would look here and I will continue to do so next time should I need anyone.
I have found good carpet cleaners on here as well who will be coming back to do more work... there are literally 100s and 1000s in yelllow pages, I prefer the internet approach of looking on here and interacting with someone who is interested in the work.
Why do I need to reccomend him to you lot? I wasnt I was just saying he will be reccomended to anyone that asks me for a window cleaner eg neighbours/friends etc. You on the other hand seem to have a chip on your shoulders.

Yes, that is kind of the idea!

Hi Richard.
I'm glad to read that you found what you were looking for. A 50% mark up isn't unusual on the first clean as they often require longer spent on them. You sound an OK customer and if I wasn't 200 miles away, I would have been around to see you.
I hope you get a good and reliable service.

£15 for first clean then £10 every 8 weekly clean.
Very fair price and reasonable.

Thank you for your reply. Yes the £15 I didnt even query as I understand its more work etc (dirty stubborn dirt etc).

... is this exclusively for window cleaners.
Yes, that is kind of the idea!
So you are not happy that one of the members on this forum has now got an extra customer who is very happy with his work. Surely thats a positive step for the forum to have people who are reccomended on the site.
Get a grip!
