i think its a combination of the bad weather,more people struggling and loads more window cleaners in my area.

ill be canvassing and leafleting some huge houses near where i work soon as i want some bigger jobs to fill in the gaps.now ive got a 40ft pole it broadens my scope of work i can take on! ;) ;D ;D ;D

but on the whole more customers are coming fprward than I am losing, the 2 contracts where big ones to be fair.
