Title: Toughest, roughest place to window clean....
Post by: Lee Burbidge on November 22, 2013, 07:24:47 am
Ok. So whats it like where you live? Are you over saturated with window cleaners that have caused problems for you in the pass. Are the areas you work in rough. Can you say you window clean in the roughest part of the UK and your proud of it. Maybe its an area known to have a reputation but you live in it and work in it....

Do you have a problem with other window cleaners working in your area. Are you territorial about 'your patch'?

WCM wants to hear from you for a brand new project...

Haddaway; those areas and window cleaners would be considered posh and middle class compared to Middlesbrough.

Couple of beer brigade threaten to push trad cleaners off ladders when canvassing their patches on some posh estates, absolute criminals.......they don't bother me, can look after myself (started Judo, Kung Fu and a couple others from the age of 6 and it's like riding a bicycle.....builds confidence) ;D

The toughest place to clean windows surely has to be somewhere where there's loads of barking dogs because when dogs bark, they go 'rough, rough'.

Either that or a sandpaper factory.

One estate (a small cul-de sac with 5 houses and a caravan) where I work is solely occupied by Irish travellers. It's a no-go area for people who have no reason to be there, but I have been accepted by them and they are great customers ...

... today two of my tyres were let down and my roof bar ropes were nicked by a couple of their young boys. I calmly pointed out the misdemeanours to their fathers, who duly and swiftly sorted the whole situation out (and their boys!). They even guarded my van while I finished off the last house!

Yup. Kemp Town in Brighton is a very rough place sweetie. Around there you can have it as rough as you like.
