You're in a bit of a hurry to complete some jobs due to wet weather and a customer says before you do next doors, 'oh they're away next door, wont be back for another week'. Now do you very carefully do all the windows you normally do or just knowing there's no one in to check do you miss say the odd window and put a windows cleaned note through the door.
Honest answers.

Are you trad. Dick?

i never miss a window
-
Always do a full clean, always tell anyone that works with to work as if you're being watched :) CCTV everywhere these days.
-
Never leave windows out, that's a low punch in my book!
-
I once worked for a fella who told us that if no one was in that cleaning frosted glass was a prerogative!
Suppose in days of trad it was one less climb.
-
Picked up a few customers from shiners who thought they could get away with
leaving out frosted windows.
So I wouldn't risk missing them when cleaning a property.
-
so next time you come around both of em cancel or give you a hard time for missing windows and 1st neighbour seeing you miss windows.
however if they had nice knomes I would nick em ;D
-
I am never in a hurry. I would clean them as thoroughly as if my every move were being watched.

I picked up a new job 3 weeks ago which was a very large shop.
The previous window cleaner didn't know the owner was parked across the road in his car making a phone call.
He watched the windie walk up to the shop front and pour some water along the ground in front of each window to make it look like he'd done the windows. 30 minutes later the windie is back asking to get paid. That window cleaner had been doing that shop's windows for 13 years.
Apart from the principle that if you're paid to do a job then just do it, I wouldn't want to live on that mental knifes edge of cheating customers.

Do it all the time as my horse doesn't like to be left for long periods of time.
