I clean windows and gutters for residential and commercial clients and do very well. I have a strong customer base now to sell them extra services which I'm considering.
I'm going WFP in Feb 2014 so looking at other ways now to diversify
I'm considering adding services like:
carpet cleaning
pressure washing
builders cleans
contract cleaning
conservatory roof cleaning
roof cleaning
Has any other window cleaning company added any of these services to their business and if so, how we'll did you do?
Regards
Danny

Hi Ian how's the pressure washing doing. I remember you posting about your first job.
How many jobs per month are you getting?
-
Hi Dan made a good bit of money from it and sold it last month as upgrading to zeta in the new year.
Probably didnt get it pushed earlier enough in the year so will hit it hard from march.
Easy to make £300 a day min and prob £500 ish if you get a big job or 3 little jobs lined up for same day :)

Are you going to just leaflet or will you be advertising in local paper also?

There's a pressure washer on machine mart I'm looking at,
It's only £600 or thereabouts and produces 250 bar (3600 psi) at flow rate of 18l per minute. 13hp I think
Sounds like good value

Best get a honda gx390 with an interpump pump anything less no good

That was some work I'm looking to sell on. It's not all of the work I have but looking to go more commercial and diversify into other services.
The work I aim to keep is larger houses that are more suited to WFP.

Superbly powerful, this tough and rugged petrol driven pressure washer is built specifically for use by garages, fleet operators, plant hirers and contractors. Its highly efficient direct drive means there are no belts or pulleys to replace and the overall reduction in vibration means there is less unnecessary stress on the motor, which in turn will boost the lifespan of the motor and washer as a unit. Powered by a highly reliable petrol engine, the PLS260 Power Washer is built into a tough all steel frame with extra large 13" pneumatic tyres for easy mobility across uneven ground.
Maximum 250 bar (3625 psi) pressure
Maximum water flow 18.2 litres per minute (1092L/hr).
13Hp Petrol engine
Professional lance with protective shroud
Adjustable high pressure output
Detergent pick-up hose.

Have owned many different makes of petrol powered pressure washers, but this unit is in a class of it's own. Being able to adjust the pressure is a huge advantage

Great price, cracking machine. Plenty of power.

Looks like a good site. The zeta machines sound great. They have a high water rate though compared to some machines.

Right now-no.
I'm doing less and less pressure washing.
It'd essentially just be for me to clean the car & van.
If that 'one job' came in though-I'd be on it like a shot.
Ideally a £2k job that I would earn nothing for my labour from but have the PW & a whirl away to show for it.
If you get me.

That's how I was thinking but more along the lines of a few smaller jobs I passed up earlier in the year.
Is the market not strong in your area or are you busy with other things?

Tbh I don't really know.
I don't advertise PW, I just do it for existing WC customers.
I don't see many PW firms here though, so assume it could be pretty good.
