Title: Helper for the day?
Post by: OnPoint on July 15, 2019, 02:47:57 pm: I know people get slaughtered for asking but here goes another...

I am in the process of starting up, I have already brought equipment etc I have gone for a backpack for starters with a CLX 22ft.

I have done free cleans, read threads and watched hundreds of videos on YouTube of people using a WFP... downfall to myself is I live on a 3rd floor flat so can’t even reach my windows to practise freely as of when I want.

So my question... would anyone mind if I tagged along for the day or even a few hours I don’t mind being someone’s lackey, just need to see an experienced window cleaner in action using WFP system.

It’s either asking for permission or it’s going to end up as me stalking someone... I’ll even pay for lunch ( At a reasonable price) 😅

I’m based in Southampton.

Hope someone steps up on here or any other forum which you may or may not have asked on. As this will be the best experience for you.

Are you totally new to cleaning windows or switching from trad to wfp?

Knock a few doors, take your time, make sure you do a good job and go from there ...

Good luck! ;)

Only experience in window cleaning I have is trad and that was about 9 years ago when I helped a “mate” set up.

I’d say I’m a complete novice my current job is a CCTV controller in one of the UK largest shopping centre. I work 4 on 4 off so a great opportunity to go at window cleaning.

I tried just going straight at it head on and then my confidence got knocked out of me as I ran into vents 😅
