Route work as it is known in the US or shop work to you and me. Is it worth it? Would you do it?
-
Yes.
-
Yes.
Do you have a lot of shop work. Its pretty low paid, right?
-
only do 1 shop front on my round, but this is so easy, i would love to have more can do them rain or shine as well easy money

Have you tried getting them in your local city centre?
-
its well sewn up around my, way same few guys doing them for many years
-
I sub most of this straight out, very little money in the cleans if they are from nationals, ok if picked up locally
-
id hate to have a load of shop fronts as they normally have to be done very early in the morning and every week/2 weeks so very tying when your booking a holiday or off ill for example.
im sure there is a good solid income for window cleaners who have a lot compacted together.start early,get breakfast then out on domestics but its not for me! ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
no....parking is a nightmare and the pay is low! dont bother myself....although I clean a couple in the rurals and charge more ...park infront of the shop ...easy ;D
-
All my shop work get done at the begin of the week and price from £7.00 upwards every week nice and easy work which pays well in all weathers ;D ;D

It's the best you can get at window cleaning, but you really need a good run of at least 15 to be worth while.
I do mine every Saturday morning starting around 6 am or earlier. I do 30 and it's by far the best paying job of the week. They are closing down slowly but surely though and in ten years, I doubt if I will have too many left.
Internet is killing them all off.

dream on ;D

Why?

Why?
if you think shop work is the best you can get in window cleaning, way to much hassle for little money, I am surprised you say that tbh
-
I can only go on my own experience Window Washers, all 21 years of it. I have all kind's of work these day's, but pound for pound, hour for hour and ease of work, my 4 hour's doing solely shopfront's on a Saturday morning give's me a very impressive wage by anyone's standard's, even in 3 feet of snow, you will do well.
What is to dream on about?
-
I do mine twice a week, easy money no parking issues could do with more
-
you is JAMBO mate ;D
-
Ronnie, I was thinking you were someone else mate sorry. My bad
-
I have got rid of all my shops fronts.I don`t like it and can make more in domestic.shops bore me.and there is always someone to do it cheaper.
-
I clean 1000 shops a week, and i can honestly they are not worth it unless you have them lined up like dominoes

I did some shop work; got the ones the other windies didn't want, chippie and sandwich shop.
Because they opened later in the day and had shutters.
So windie had been and gone in the time these shops opened.
Got hassled from traffic warden, because shops were weekly had trouble fitting around my monthly domestic work.
I also got asked to quote on 4 3 storey blocks of flats where i live by the company i pay maintenance charge to.
I put in what i thought was a fair quote for me and them.
Was over the top by £60 (£200 i quoted)
Every year on the estate where i live there is a new window cleaning co :D
It's seems to be with commercial work; cheapest price always wins.
I'm not really intrested in commercial work, no desire to be a busy fool.
I bet there are a lot of windies who have big gaps in their rounds now due to commercial work changing to bi-tri- quartely cleaning cycles.
Obviously the attraction is higher earnings.
I'd rather build my round to more high end residential.
