Thanks Tam
Any links or names would be a kind help? I live in the south west and never seen this logo on any adverts ie yellow pages, or on any vehicles, I'm trying to track them down.

I had a look it was quite interesting, although as a potential customer I would have liked more about the cleaning and less and the franchise opp. A trad franchise, there's a turn up!

I admire how it was simply explained - we can also do the backs by prior arrangment.

Who the hell do these people think they are!!!!!

"Many independent residential window cleaners in the London
area offer a mediocre service, poor reliability and a lack of professionalism."

Bold and unjustified claims like that tell me nothing more than these guys are a bunch of word twisting idiots.

Anyone who has ever bough into this outfit would be mad. This isnt a brand its just a logo of an old boy called 'the local window cleaner'  :D

is "the local window cleaner" even a trademark???

Thats basically what they want people to pay ££££ for, dont forget they might give you an old rusty rascal van with it though ;D ;D ;D

Franchising w/c in the U.K will never take off.

Ian,

Couldn’t fully understand the last part of your post, but think I got there in the end.
Franchising W/C in the U.K would never leave the ground properly or make it to a scalable and recognised brand for a simple reason,

W/C in the U.K is an age old industry, and like a patch work quilt there are rounds sewn up all over these graceful lands. Some handed down over generations. To 'Move In'  build a name, sell and manage a network of rounds in every town or city in the U.K, in the domestic market and on monthly cleans is not just impossible but laughable.

U.S.A its a different story but a totally different ball game, ever heard of Fish Window Cleaning?

A company or someone with a serious amount of money to burn could campaign on a national scale to a degree for commercial work an either sell or sub it/take a % under a 'name'. However, entry level, pit falls and managing such a project would still be seriously extreme, to say the least. I doubt Just a website is enough to be recognized nationally.

We've had this debate before.
How big?
jv price had 28,000 domestic customers.
Who could manage scalability?
Anglian water- with phone canvassing, leaflets, and credibility. As they do with conservatories kitchens windows etc.
Who would do the work?
Mugs like us for peanuts.
