got a call from a freebie today too, only a small job a downstairs flat, the guy is charging £5 its only round the corner from existing work but i think this guy has given up by the sound of it??apparently he was a doing a nursing home next door and not been seen there either....fingers crossed. Hopefully he has otherwise it probably isnt worth the effort to get there!

i think it all depends on how much you pay - more you pay the bigger your ad, the free ads are just a huge list in alphabetical order, call yourself aa window cleaning, you might get loads of calls:)

I've picked up about 10 houses, about 2 con cleans and a £65 pm solicitor's offices from the owner of one of the houses, in about 8 months from a free yell listing.

no idea, i used to see them around alot but havent for ages, i think they have gone more into domestic cleaning

MAD stands for something like Mandy And Dave

I started with a free one but then paid £90 which puts me 4th from top with link to my site and the 3 above arent based in my area.
