dont get why you all chase shops ??? ??? ???
how much do you charge for two plate windows and a door?
and how compact is the work
i dont get this fixation on cleaning one branch of a national chain
why is it desirable?
not being awkward just dont get why people target this sort of work if they are not national???

I agree and wonder if it is only an ego builder to say you clean so and so  ::)

You should see Canterbury High Street early mornings - can't move for sign written WFP vans - plus a few trad guys - all after the same work I presume.

I remember many years ago when there was just well known (locally) window cleaner who did every shop in the high street with just a cart and a couple of ladders.
