Recieved a request to quote for Window Cleaning.
We do work in Burton but, not regular enough to warrant taking this on.
Contact: Shamban on 01283 535646.
Frequency depends on price.
Hope this helps & not somebody,s job already thats on here.

Did 6 Maccy Dees up till 2 years ago, they do not want to pay the price.
Started off at first, along time ago, at 7 days per week, then cut back to 5 then to 4 then ended up at 3.
Regular drive thru should be at least £20 per clean for in and out doing 3 cleans per week as it takes 1 hour to do a decent job, can be done in 40 mins if cleanish.
I was getting nowhere near this and in the end lost out to the gardener(not Alex, the actual gardener) who was paid a measly £8 for each of 3 restaurants and he made a really crap job. Asked me how to do it as it was taking him 2 hours each store I told him to feck off.
Ended up losing approx 10 grand of work in 1 month and I had cleaned their windows for 19 years, no loyalty there.
Cleaned ceilings, signs, drive thru lanes, frames even did a litter pick for them once as they were short of staff.

A guy local to me was asked if he was interested in doing a local McDs,he said yes but let me know the spec etc and ill give you a price.The manager told him the price was set at £120.He thought thats not too bad 3 times a week early call at £40 a call.He nearly spat his rubbery burger out when the manager told him the £120 was for the month.

I had a similar situation with a McD. I thought he was referring to the price per clean but it turned out it was the price per week (3 cleans). I know the guy who does it. He spot cleans the inside and does a full one once a week. On the outside the out of reach bits get done once a month. I would rather quote to do it all every time but a lot of these places just won't pay it.

They want to pay half of what i wanted & that wasnt happening!

ive seen the chap at my local mcd's and one near my round and he spot cleans and only does as high as he can reach . obviously not worth it, and there is no parking at one near me, he has to watch the wardens the whole time :)

if we all stayed clear then they would soon realise that to keep clean windows they have to be prepared to pay fairly... problem is , there will always be a wc that is prepared to work for peanuts >:(
i blame these silly window cleaners not mcdonalds
