Hi All
Take a look at this round for sale:

I enquired about it - but got a reply saying that he won't sell to a WFP window cleaner as all the work is done traditionally.
I would say that this leaves him with a very small market to sell to - what do you think?

£5000-£7000 ... 600 customers, average £8 to £11 per house. Half the amount of customers those figures are possible, No thanks, im out
-
And £65k? seriously where do people get these figures from
-
As a potential buyer , to be told that the sale would not go ahead because of my cleaning method says it all !
-
If someone had all the funds, im sure they would sell.
£2000 a week with the van and equipment chucked in surely is worth thinking about?

When someone says 1300 - 2000 a weak its usually the lower mark lol

That's my point though. How many trad only window cleaners are there around with £65k to spend?

If a WFP window cleaner waved £65000 in front of him, my money would be on him selling. He prob hasent been taught/shown how good the results are with WFP.
-
£1300 - £2000 a week trad is some serious graft to
-
That's two guys aswell.
Wonder how quick it would be with 1 WFP the tops and other doing ground floor.
Should cut a third of the time i think.
-
Do u think you will ever Wfp more Jonny , say the houses that have good ground floor windows for Wfp and are fairly high .
Or is it a case of managing your water ?
I have starred to Wfp more downstairs now just because it's easier to finish them off as my pole is out anyway .
I can see you getting a T300 transit soon !
-
Quite possibly mate.
At the minute it's more water conservation really. I WFP all ground floor that are Georgian or smaller panes.
I just like going out and not having to refill my tank.
Only got a baby caddy though. Would like a 650 tank.
-
If it works for you then carry on .
Caddy a top van , good payload
Put new ladder rack on my newer can , 2 bars and roller , I bet there's 50kg there that we don't add up in our calculations , plus ladder
Weigh a tonne them ladder racks , it's only 2 bars and a roller
-
I reckon it's a load of BS.
£1300 - £2 000 per week trad and just 3 people and one van? £430 to £660 per person per week. No price increase for 5 years?
Yeah.
Sure.

600 customers, average house has at least 5 upstairs windows, so for each house you are going up and down a ladder 10 times.
So going up and down a ladder 2000 times a week isn't hard graft?
I would hate to work with you.lol
-
I wonder if the business is vat registered? If it's not that might explain the lack of recent price increases.

It is graft lol.
-
I do not believe if someone waived 65k under his nose he would say no as they are WFP LOL
-
Crazy valuation
-
And price increase in January will put peoples noses up, then a new company cleaning them? Bet theyll loose loads of custies
-
He's come to the end of the road hasn't he?
2 staff + himself to pay; loads of gutter and roof cleans and only making 1300-2000 a week. If not VAT reg then it's the lower end of that scale. No price increase for 5 years so that will trim the herd when he puts the prices up in January.
He'll be lucky to get 1300 x 5, plus the van!
-
The only way is chop it up into smaller rounds and sell like that.He should of sold off work before this point. No to smart. ??? ???
