face to face will always be the best option and explain that you have taken over the round, this way they get to know you, if they are not in leave a letter   ;)

Be carefull though; don't go 'face-to-face' if you look like this:

If you do look like the 'unpleasant above', I'd advise you to use a letter of introduction, informing your potential customers that you're a competant and fully insured window cleaner.

You don't want to go frightening them off, do you?

Having read loads and loads of Squeakies post (compulsory reading) I'd built up a mental picture of what he looks like....I'd had him down as around 50, grey(ish) hair, blue eyes, a bit of 2 day stubble, 5'9" ish tall, and very slightly tubby.

Apart from the hair, which he colours, you've described Squeaks to a 'T'.
