They are reviewing all the window cleaning prices at present. I speak with one  of the regional managers n they say price variation on some stores is huge. I expect these to go national soon enough.

Hi there

Do you mind me asking where about you are ? Just as we have a couple in wales that we do and wondering if they would be in your region that's up for review.

Cheers

Scotland.

I have heard that all stores in region asked managers to get prices of all stores and there is a huge variation on prices.  They are defo looking at it.

I avoid the discount retailers. Had call wanting cheapest quote.  But I refused telling them they are not the right client for me due to them prioritiaing price above quality.

Store fronts are a risky customer these days as most high street stores are really struggling.
Iv just lost 2 store 21s as they have gone into liquidation, lost a cinema last year as they went national and a massive harvester I clean completely stops window cleaning over winter as they can't afford it all year round.
Expect more to go with the new business rate changes. My local Game store is a casualty of that, closed 2 weeks ago as their rent was no longer viable.

Could be worse - you could be cleaning the £1 shops!
