Hi Matt,

Is that a pig with wings I have just seen go past my window?

If you can do that sort of money I'll eat my hat, Sorry, don't believe you, 20 houses a day yes.
Par for the course if they are all 3 bed, straight forward semi's, but a window cleaners work is varied, georgian windows, sash windows, leaded windows, big houses, small houses, flats, houses that are easy to get around, others that are a pain. some you have to travel a mile or two to get to, if you are lucky you will have a dozen in a single street....but it won't be every street :-\
 
£300 a day....£78,000 a year? All domestic 15 minute accounts? Give over.

I may have done you wrong, my apologies if I have, but I'll bet there isn't another window on the any of the forums doing just domestic accounts who is earning that sort of money.
Commercial work it is possible for an individual to earn that, but to average that? I would doubt there would even be that many Commercial window cleaners who are one man bands who could turnover that much every day.

Yes. I will not do nothing unless its a min of £10. Even had people pay me to clean 2 windows for £10 as well.

Good on you for earning £300, I really have been thinking about having a min £15. I get ask by loads of window cleaners in my area how do I get the prices I do when they struggle to get £5 for a 3 bedroom. Now if I told them that I would be out of Business, some things you just need to keep to yourself.
