arrived at my second job today and nextdoor neighbour came out and asked me about fascia clean(4 bedroom detached).she said she already has a window cleaner(a guy i know).the frames and sills were filthy!
so i said do you want me to do a proper job of the windows? ;D ;D ;D
the other guy charged £11(well underpriced IMO)AND CAME EVERY 3 WEEKS!! ??? ???
so i said ill clean glass,frames,sills,doors every 2 months for £20.she snapped my hand off!! ;D ;D ;D
i also picked up the fascia/soffit/outside gutter clean for £120!! ;) ;) ;)
so i took my time and clean the windows and frames properly and ive booked the fascia clean in for next time.so £140 next time for fascias and windows.2 and a half hours tops i reckon for both fascias and windows! ;D ;D
i also picked up a £40 soffit clean on a small 3 bed semi on a regular custies house today as well.booked in for next month!!
im loving this job at the moment! ;D ;D ;D
why is there still loads of crap window cleaners about?ill just wave and say hello to the other windy when i see him and say NOTHING!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I don't blame ya Daz ;D
I think it takes the p that some cleaners don't touch the frames and cills , I have picked up work off polers not doing the frames too :o

I agree with you there. Done some canvassing today and some said they had a cleaner, but the frames and sills were minging :o and they said they were happy with them :o
I just don't understand that.

I think to most customers there is a trust and then loyalty to there current guy, sometimes happy to keep him on even with a poor job

I did wonder if it was just me who picks up work by window cleaners doing a bad job.
Last year a customer moved house to a cul de sac. Within 4 months I ended up with 6 other jobs along the same road all done by another window cleaner who did a seriously bad job.
This year so far I picked up another 5 in various places but obviously, always near where I'm doing a job already. Each time it was down to the quality of work being done by the existing window cleaner.

Yesterday I picked up 3 x townhouses all next to each other.
The previous windy, and I quote, "is incredibly dosile, misses windows out and has only been 3 times since last April".
He was charging £9 per house using wfp.
We are charging £15 per house using wfp.
The rest of the street will also be ours before the end of summer. :D
(I was obviously joking when I said Dazmond was an undercutter)
