On average days, obviously not on stormy days.

For regular window cleaning then
NO

impossible mate. o sun kan earn £600 a day. no way that mik essecks can doit. all bulszit. no one will pay mopre than £5
-
I earn less than that dave and do well for myself.
Im very happy with my prices. ;D
-
I think every fully established wfp operative doing a full 8 hour day should be able to clean 2-£300 a day. If not then your not working hard enough or you dont need to work that hard as have an easy life or are semi retired etc.
-
8 hour day I don't think so, window cleaning has enabled me
to make a reasonable living with part time hours, I don't make £200 a day
nevermind £300 but then again I don't need too.
-
It's not the amount but what you do with it that counts. ;)
-
I would be in the same position as Gary, I don't earn £300 a day but then I don't do enough hours
as I don't need to.
But to be honest even if I was charging top money for my area I couldn't do it.
-
i wish i could earn 300 a day, i reckon 8 hrs at a push 250 average, but i rarely work 8 hrs, i shot after 6 lol

Paul even £150 to £200 is a great days earnings, look at how many don't get anywhere near that, there are over five
million people in the UK who earn less than £7 an hour and this figure is set to grow.
Plus when we take all the extra benefits of being your own boss its a win win for us all.

WILLY WAVING at its best. Its window cleaning, theres no big money as a one man band. never will. Stop making pointless threads.

£300 a day? For what? Staff day rate?
Well that's what I pay my lads. And the tinkers are usually home for 'Loose Women'.
That's the programme, btw, not real loose women. That's real loose women not really loose women.
Anyway, Cozy told me it's a tv programme.

we aim to do £400 a day on domestic regs, and do it over 80% of the time working 7 hr days with one man team. £600 with 2 men, depends upon established rounds
-
Wow!£400 a day for one man on his own working 7 hours a day!thats very impressive! :)
You must be rolling in it earnings wise.
Im happy with £150-£250 a day.thats more than enough for my needs. ;)

What's wrong with that ? Richard has always been upfront with his hourly rate, prices and what his staff do per day - it's always been consistant and been backed up by others who know him.

wow 400 a day is mega money, i know a lot that would be very happy with that in a week. your work must be very compact with little driving

Because that kind of money would need to be very good commercial work. Very good commercial work cannot be tendered, secured and carried out by a one man band.
Roughly turning over £8000 per month for one man is ridiculous, no matter what part of the country.

At Last! A man on the same Hymn sheet!
Don't forget you can earn £35k - £50k without even going to work. We have loads that do that.

To be fair i have just got in from doing an office block in east london then 43 fronts around se london and a carpet clean clean near home. I smashed well past £400 today and that was all on my own however normally i dont clean anywhere as near as much as i did today its just where i didnt do as many yesturday as needed to come home for an emergancy poo.
With enough work priced right and compact enough and in the right area, ie surrey, chelsea, wimbledon, woodford etc etc with 20x£20 houses(i only mentioned areas i know of down south as dont know any posh areas up north apart from maybe cheshire) £400 a day can be done as easy as £200 in a rougher type of area. 20x£10 houses. Remember an average 3 bed semi down south is min £250k give or take against £80k up north give or take.
Although yes a willy waving thread! If it wasnt for these threads then it wouldnt motivate others to go the extra mile to succeed! In fact the only reason i managed to grow even bigger and do as much as i do now is from doubting people like richard isparkle and a few others where i learnt that splash and dash does actualy work. Hard work pays off in the end if you realy want it that is.
I learnt from groundhog back in the day on a thread about seeing work as a game and to beat daily amounts each month and try be home that much quicker etc, i learnt from steve cm to always have a decent min price and never go below, i learnt from daz that gardiner poles realy do rule which can squeeze those extra 3 or 4 jobs done a day without killing yourself or running out of time using heavy bricks! I learnt from ian giles about £60ph glass time. Even learnt from negative things like how many seem to drop a customer for stupid reasons, to me every customer is a foundation for more customers with recomendations so if i get a not this time i accept it and move to the next otherwise id be 2 steps forward and always 1 back. all things combined from small tips and how people work who i enjoyed learning from over the years with there posts on here have all gone together to build my business up.
Its a shame that now there are a lot of negatives and doubters on here because if it wasnt for ciu id prob still be on a ladder doing £70-80 a day so it does goto show that there is some verey helpfull advice lirking away on this forum, especialy from 4/5 years ago.

i agree mick, i know richard (isparkle) and that is what they do on average, his just being honest and your right about the little tips that you pick up.....i am now a splash and dash cleaner (according to others) and yet i earn / aim for £250 a day on my own and achieve it........and i dont loose customers :), take the best tips / ideas and incorporate in to your business and it will earn you that extra £30 a day
-
Sometimes there is some willy waving on this forum...
HOWEVER - I know that some can do £300 - £400 a day (one man on there own)... If you don't believe it then you're either jealous or ignorant, or both.
They have spent years refining their business to make this achievable... It doesn't happen over night... But it's not impossible!
At the end of the day it really doesn't matter what anyone else is earning.
But as a one man operation with the costs associated with WFP, running a van, downtime etc.. I think you need to be atleast turning over £200 a day minimum.
Andy ;)
-
I have to say that I agree with Mick.
I don't earn the hourly rate that some of the guys do but I do have some houses that earn me £50 hour no problem. They are well priced, all together and easy to get round. Also when I first started I used to be OCD about my cleaning, literally. In fact, I lost a relationship over it!. Now I still do a top job but i've stepped it back a notch. It's not splash and dash (or perhaps it is in 'Robbo OCD world') but I haven't lost a custy yet. In fact i've got 6 new custys this month, all recommendations. Anyway, I am now timing all my cleans to see which ones pay the hourly rate that I would like to achieve (and these are usually the smaller houses!) and onwards and upwards from there.

are you jealous mate...?
Richard I believe is like myself 90% domestic, I personally find commercial properties less profitable than domestic, I find certain pressure washing services yield 3x per hour than the window cleaning, it's not willy waving just a fact, those not making the most of their time by continually re investing in the biz, ie advertising, leaflets, canvass just class it as showing off, that's your loss..
As some one said on here a while ago, everyone likes to see you do well, until you start doing better than them....

What a stupid post.
Domestic is more profitable than commercial I find. I never have any competition on domestic, but tendered work often brings in people who are paying peanuts to staff who do a crap job. You have to be cheap to get tendered work in general.

That's what I find...
This morning I went to look at a large private hospital to quote for window cleaning and gutter cleaning - I know for a fact that I won't be the cheapest as I will do some of the work myself if we get the contract... There would be 3 of us on site for approx 3 or 4 days.
i did the best to sell myself to them - But at the end of the day it will probably come down to cost... I'll submit my quote and see what happens.

No! my computer posted before I had finished!
The reason I have to be careful is that I read what others earn then go mad trying to equal it... result complaints.
I've only ever had two complaints but both came after I was trying to reach a higher daily figure.
Theres a lot to be said for steady quality work.

£300 a day. x 5 days a week x 48 weeks = £72,000 per annum. Well done those of you who actually earn this much. And the original question was 'is it enough?'
Really?

Personally interested in success stories, loved the Lee prior threads on leafleting, and stu castles picture shows, but alas intead of embracing them and posting great cleans of their own, they were labeled show offs and willy wavers :'(

Well you wouldn't get 48 weeks for a start and when you take in the expenses involved in WFP that £72,000 would
look more like £15,000.

By who ? certainly not by any genuine window cleaners.
There's nothing as good as a genuine success story by somebody doing the same as yourself, that's totally different
to a boaster coming on here and telling people that to make money in this game you need to charge a fortune and be splash and dash.
They must think that we are all as stupid as their so called customers.

Really?
A couple of years ago we were asked to quote a commercial job. Our competitors came in at 25% of our price. Not 25% less, 25% of our price. Our price was intended to keep the hourly rate to what we earn on domestics. Commercial deosn't necessarily earn more than domestic.

My highest earning day (singular) is a commercial job.
On average though, I make my money on residential.
The lads saying £x CANT be done a day/year should probably change the text slightly to I CANT do £x a year.
I'd imagine the lads making the most money reading this thread haven't posted on it.

This is good advice: rather than criticise the lads who earn more than you (whether you believe them or not) try and learn from them.
That's what the forum is for (well part of it)
Since I've learned from some of the bigger boys on here I've made decisions that I wouldn't even have dreamed of before.
All to the benefit of my business.

This is better advice: instead of listening to the guys that have that little self worth that they need to justify themselves
by boasting about money, why not listen to the guys who go out there every day and build successful businesses by
doing things like employing, dealing with competition and the many other things that come up when running any
business.
Its the guys who cant get £20 for ten minutes work but have built successful businesses that I want to listen to
and learn from.

Seank whats your average price per clean you have???
What difference will it make to anybody by knowing my average price ?

Two of my rounds have an average price of between £7.50 and £10
I start after dropping little un off at school - so ten ish
and never very often finish later than 5 , and usually have dinner
I do £300 a day on it , average price means nothing .
Your average price could be £20 but each house takes an hour
I dont doubt the lads doing £400 a day , i just think alot of them must be fortunate. I work all over greater manchester from oldham to alderley edge , and to get enough work in one area compact enough and priced well enough to do those figures is difficult.
To have enough work to do it day in and out is very fortunate , im working on it , but at the moment im only half full, thats after doing this for 7 years , so my day rate is good but i run out of work, this week i only have two days work and a couple of hours today on commercial ...
But i havent been canvassing like i should !

Be happy in your life, create your round to suite what you desire personally, not what someone else thinks it should be, that is what is important! Don't be foolish enough to think big numbers are the be all & end all. Take 99% of posts on CIU with a pinch of salt wherever money is the topic, I've lost count of the "millionaires" & "Alan Sugars" on here in the 9 years I've been using it! ;D
Follow the above & you'll not go far wrong! ;)

Very true mate
I got into window cleaning when i was younger so i could get shut of the fulltime work and spend time on my hobbies , now i have a family it allows me to do the school runs and allow the missus to not work , although now she helps me a few days a week , and it allows me to earn us a good living , and im comfortable now , and still have space in my schedule to double my turnover
We'll never be millionaires , but its given us a life we are all very happy with :)

You should know degree if your close to the limit!! im guessing you have an accountant so ask him or her!.
For me its been fine apart from my surcharge threat where i didnt have the full funds twice after eachother from buying a car i shouldnt have bought at the time!
Just make sure you have your vat money always as they realy hate late payments. Im spot on now with it all but as said your accountant who should have spoke to you about it by now if your near the limit will tell you all you need.

I got into window cleaning when i was younger so i could get shut of the fulltime work and spend time on my hobbies , now i have a family it allows me to do the school runs and allow the missus to not work , although now she helps me a few days a week , and it allows me to earn us a good living , and im comfortable now , and still have space in my schedule to double my turnover
We'll never be millionaires , but its given us a life we are all very happy with :)
You're already a very wealthy man & have more than many. ;)

I've often thought if money made you happy then rich people wouldn't commit suicide

Two of my rounds have an average price of between £7.50 and £10
I start after dropping little un off at school - so ten ish
and never very often finish later than 5 , and usually have dinner
I do £300 a day on it , average price means nothing .
Your average price could be £20 but each house takes an hour
I dont doubt the lads doing £400 a day , i just think alot of them must be fortunate. I work all over greater manchester from oldham to alderley edge , and to get enough work in one area compact enough and priced well enough to do those figures is difficult.
To have enough work to do it day in and out is very fortunate , im working on it , but at the moment im only half full, thats after doing this for 7 years , so my day rate is good but i run out of work, this week i only have two days work and a couple of hours today on commercial ...
But i havent been canvassing like i should !
A Nice honest post!
You sound like me taking little one to school lol. I usualy have to pick mine up too hence why im a proud splash and dasher who somehow gets away with it.
Not forgetting your emergency poo's Mr Kent.
I hate them but then love them at the same time!

Public toilets don't bother me.. Its when you go out the cubicle and someone is waiting to go in after you and you look at them with such a guilty face which says 'I'm really sorry about what I've left in there..'

one of the toilets i use in an asda on the rough side of Manchester , the cubicles have so many holes in the partitions that theyve bolted sheets of metal to each side, so i can only wonder wtf was going on !!

My highest earning day (singular) is a commercial job.
On average though, I make my money on residential.
The lads saying £x CANT be done a day/year should probably change the text slightly to I CANT do £x a year.
I'd imagine the lads making the most money reading this thread haven't posted on it.
Wrong, they have.
This is good advice: rather than criticise the lads who earn more than you (whether you believe them or not) try and learn from them.
That's what the forum is for (well part of it)
Since I've learned from some of the bigger boys on here I've made decisions that I wouldn't even have dreamed of before.
All to the benefit of my business.
This is better advice: instead of listening to the guys that have that little self worth that they need to justify themselves
by boasting about money, why not listen to the guys who go out there every day and build successful businesses by
doing things like employing, dealing with competition and the many other things that come up when running any
business.
Its the guys who cant get £20 for ten minutes work but have built successful businesses that I want to listen to
and learn from.

Makes me laugh when people say what you can't earn let alone can lol,how can someone say you can't earn that amount a day with the right work some would consider that average and that's not being an idiot in saying that it's a fact.6 houses at £50 a pop that's all it is.

What blinkers? I just made comment on NHW post. "6 houses at £50 a pop that's all it is". Doesn't sound very realistic to me.

So glad i do one £90,000 house once a year, takes me a day, but its just about worth it. They said the bank transfer might take 2 days, so i'm thinking about getting rid of them.

Look on here once in a blue moon and been a member for years. Names and faces on here change but one thing that doesn't is the amount of bullpoope that people still come out with lmao. See you in another few months.
