Please be honest with your response, you can only vote once, and nobody else will be able to see your vote...
And are you happy with your current rounds? ie. the quality and price per clean.
It would be interesting to know how many of the many window cleaners here are 100% convinced they are working there business to its full potential.
Have fun with the Poll.

Between £2000 - £2500
But if im honest im only working approx 25-30 hours
I work to live not live to work
plus alot of my work say 50% is commercial
last 2 days worked about 4 hours due to rain
alot of extra hours of work will be needed to catch up :(

Keeping that one under my hat :-X
Wife may peek ;D
-
What a surprise. ::)
Over £3000 a month is the most popular choice.
So there's that many people doing £750+ a week, every week?
I know some do, but most popular vote?
Yeah right.
-
Only 8 people have voted the 3k+ option so far.
I voted 1-2k
But I didn't launch till 6April9(To coincide with Tax year) ;D ;D ;D
-
Honest Voting...
So Marcus how do you handle the back log with the bad weather?
There must be best ways of practice to cope with the behind work.
Any suggestions?????
-
Alot of people employ and the poll wasn't specific enough to differentiate.
Squeeky, you said you were running out of work. If you had enough what would you earn? Some rounds are worth that but never get done on time. I know someone with a huge round he does every 10 weeks. So his round is worht loads a month if he could do it. (he doesn't).
-
Notice, How Much is generated.
To clarify, what is the month in month out net worth that the round generates.
Hope that makes more sense.

mines only £850 atm but that's from 20hours canvassing, and i only started in march on my own, its growing nicely, had to do all first cleans today took much longer only earned £20ph, but still got all the work done, even in the rain
-
why does it end at £3000 ?
-
Where's the option for £100,000+?? ::)
-
i can honestly say i earn £180 a day. but with rain and other stuff i probably only average 4 days a week over a year.

WCR ltd

But people realise that your ruled by the weather and dont seem too bothered
Like i say to them "Next time ill clean them in the rain shall i "

New poll will be up when 100 votes have been reached, so we can see out of a 100 votes what the percentage is for this specific demographic.
Thanks for all who have took part.

Personally I don't care.
I wish the stereotype of window cleaners being tax dodgers would be exposed for the myth that it is. OK, I suppose that some people cook the books but I don't believe it to be as commonplace as some would have you believe.

I'm not working to my full potential. I have about two weeks off in every six weekly cycle. I like some time off but I think that's too much. I will be pushing for more work soon to at least fill up one of those weeks.

10 votes to go, come on.

only 9 now ;D
-
But it's a false indicator anyway. ???
There's not more people on over £800 a week than any other. ::)
People exaggerate. We've done this before and a load of crap gets spouted about making £2000 a week.
It's pointless as an accurate assessment.
-
Sorry Squeaky i don't agree if you tell yourself i'm going to earn £200 per week that person will but what they have done is put a ceiling on their ambition/earning level . Logisticly it is possible to turnover £2000 per week with staff obviously.
Running a window cleaning business is no different to running any other kind of business.
-
I said 1500 - 2000, I'm actually at the 2K level and sometimes go over but probably more often go under. Mind this is only on 2 short days a week, I'm hoping to up it soon by a bit and still stick to the 2 days thanks to wfp.
I can believe that you can earn over 3500K a month if working full time, and I don't see the point of exaggerating on a site like this all though I know people probably do. The site is about sharing information not tall stories.

I didn't say that. ::)
What I said was that it's bullocks that more people are on over £750p/w than any other figure.
A lot of people lied.
It happened last time.
-
It happened last time.
it happens EVERY time, i dont know why people need to lie on here
-
the reason i said is the tax man looking is the ir expect we earn around 19,000 p.a any less gets thir suspisions up any more is ok a taxi driver is expected to earn a min of 28,000 and so on to say you earn less is inviteing a iinvestigation
anyone here been spun ?
-
A lot of people lied.
It happened last time
I completely agree

cant see the point of this topic? What does it matter what the next person earns? Said this before their are certain people on here that are money crazy. Earn whatever you need. Thats what my thinkin is anyway. You are along time dead. Dont live to work!!! I know wcs that earn £700+ a week do i I dont need to!! ;D Why the hell lie about your earnings if you wanna kill yourself get on with it.
-
my answer is gaged on the fact of having employees & i feel a lot of small business,s would have at least one, so go through top bracket.
It should be aimed at sole traders without employees & then it would be a more clear reading & hopefully true answers to assist others & realy show the divide for areas

??? Tatman, you don't need to kill yourself to earn good money. I earn £700 plus per week on my own. I work :
Mon 6-30 am - 4pm
Tues 9am - 4pm
Wed 9am -4pm
Thurs 9am - 4pm
Fri 9 am - 4pm
37 1/2 hrs per week and that's including my travelling.
PLUS I don't go collecting. In fact I will post my forecast from George,( this is based on the work I currently do , and is not dreamt up figures) so everyone can see i'm not bullsh*ting. I have nothing to hide from anyone I.R. included.I'm not bragging myself up - just showing the flip side of the coin. If your organized, your prices are good, your service is good and you are motivated, you can achieve what earnings you want.

can we have a over 5000 please on the next poll
-
Yes. I would probably have an annual turnover about the same as Jon taking it pro rata. I work about 4 weeks in 6 and turn over about two thirds of what he does if my as sumptions and calculations are about right. Fill those two weeks in and I reckon I would be on about the same money - perhaps a shade more if I drop some more of the lower paying work and replace it. I've nothing to hide either as I believe in playing it straight. Prefer to sleep at night.
I don't work such regular hours as Jon though. I often work a Saturday and take time off in the week. Some jobs are easier to access at the weekends. I certainly don't work excessive hours. I may do on odd days to get finished in a particular area but I do some short days as well.

Are the top earners the same people who make their poles out of fishing rods & stick cheap broom heads on the end to save money?? ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm having week-upon-week of 'good weeks'; turn-over wise; even last week when the weather was pretty dismal. I've never earnt anywhere near the the 3K-a-week mark though!
My only aim is to cover all my bills (including an amount for my tax and NI payments) within the first two weeks of each calandar month, and when I do that I know everything else for the rest of the month is MINE!
I always put something away for a 'rainy day'; quite literally; and I'm fine about driving around in an old 'beat-up' Rover and not have a personalised number plate.
I'm happy earning enough to live comfortably and I'm not working myself to death.
