I'm not sure there could be any accurate answer.

All I can say is for this area (Brighton) there are more than there were but there again, there seems to be more starting out with their shiny new vans and maybe getting work or not, and then disappearing.

I'm not saying CIU has 25,000 members therefore there are 25,000 window cleaners. I am just saying that the fact there are 25,000 members is a good indicator of the scale of our industry.

If you do a great job you will never be short of work. ;)
