In certain areas of Scotland there now seems to be a shortage of window cleaners which is a good thing as we are now starting to price reasonably. Before window cleaners were struggling to get £3.50 for a terraced house now prices have gone upto £6.00+.
People are now accepting these prices as a lot of firms that were targeting the domestic market with low prices have pulled out due to Enforcement Officers now getting tough on licensing.
WFP is now also having an impact as before there would be only one or two people with wfp now this has doubled which is also good for the market. Also a lot of us are starting to network with each other, to date I must have passed on £600+ of calls to other window cleaners. They have done likewise.
Prices are still to low in my opinion but hopefully in time to come our Industry will become stronger.
