lads im just wondering how many customers you all have and does it produce different amounts in cash in the end depending on where you are in the country?
In particular how are my fellow NI and RoI w/c's doing??
I just picked up another 1 today, thats 15 in past couple weeks and im for hitting the knocking hard the next two days to see what i can get. My total for last month was 254 this month so far it stands at 370 ;) oh thats £'s btw

Customers or £'s?
-
227 customers/accounts.
Most 8 weekly, then 12/16 and a couple of annuals.
Quoting ££££'s is a tad taboo.
Cheers
Dave

Think my wife ordered 270 xmas cards the other week, so about that
-
enough to stop them asking for the house keys
-
sole trader 350 custys mostly monthlies,some 2 monthlies,a couple of 6 weeklys.
regards dazmond
-
252 domestic houses every 4 weeks.
1 massive daily commercial contract.
3 good weekly commercial contracts.
4 two weekly commercial contracts.
2 four weekly commercial contracts.
-
What i mean is would someone with say 200 customers(all 4 weekly say) get away with asking for more cash in say belfast or London compared to other parts for the same type of building?
I mean for example i could get 200 customers max and all of them could be what i would class as £8 houses but in say belfast or london w/c's would get away with charging maybe £12 upwards for same type of house. If you get me.
My last line about my own cash in past 2 months was just an extra :) I just posted that to point out that ive grown in the past 2 months from 15 customers to now having 35
-
4, lost 1 last week, dog was sick. :(
-
320 every month, about 15 are every 2 months and 2 very big comercial jobs.
-
255 customers; some weekly, most monthly, some every-other-month, some every-three-months, one every-six-months.
-
517 cleaned 4 weekly.

Christ I don't know how some of you get through your customers.I've got about 160-170 since March and there's no way on Gods earth I could deal with 400+.Don't see how I can get THAT much quicker either.
-
440.4 weekly..did have over 600 but have just sold part of my round based newtownabbey ,north belfast.. tosh good to see the dog back..
Thank you! I missed the little fella. But he's a dirty disgusting tyke; a bit like his owner really! ;D

If you started in March this year, you will get quicker, but this post was about customers. You could do a run of little shops with two panes of glass in each; no more than a few minutes work, and that would equal one customer.
Me? I prefer larger places than smaller ones. I do a mansion that takes us nearly a whole day; that's just one customer. I do three factory units, one takes one day, the other two I can just about squeeze them into one day (there's two of us). I have other similar days, where we may only clean four to six houses, but they're all big ones. Another day we do about 25 small terraced houses and a few maisonettes.
Customers and job sizes and turnover are all different I suppose; though you will always find some people claim they can clean 1000 houses per day and that sort of stuff.

every single one from door knocking,I got none from the 3-400 leaflets i dropped!! It is definitly the best way to get them,I got that 1 last friday,8 tuesday and 5 tonight,so after checking and double checking i really have 14.....Bonus ;D I am not going to just leaflet drop again its a waste of time.I did an estate tonight,peeing down and everyone who answered said no already got one,they do all around here,then i dropped on 2,one for £20 and one for £18 great 2.5-3 hours work door knocking,can't recommend it enough,and i am really enjoying it,98% are really nice and have a chat even if they do not want me.Had a middle aged woman tonight saying i had answered her prayers,she was desperate for a window cleaner and could not thank me enough!!!!said she would have me without even a quote and would pay whatever,her husbands face was a picture ;D

suprising some of the answers with regards to customer amounts, seems to vary greatly, but then again 400 odd could be small houses and 200 could be bigger getting the same amounts, i know what id rather be doing :)
chopsie definitely has the right idea about the door knocking and one im learning too, went out today and knocked an estate first one no answer so dropped a leaflet, 2nd door i went too lady answered and says im sorry theres a window cleaner lives next door he does mine, oh ok i said and went onto the next few, same again and on the last one the guy inside said aye he does mine but hes only part time and does it in evenings, ill take your leaflet just incase, turns out he was the last in the park that had one, rest either werent in or didnt want a cleaner, then i ended up getting 2 new 4 weeklys opposite each other, so the moral of my story today is dont give up if a few say 'oh theres a window cleaner round here etc' then at the end house the woman inside told me that another local window cleaner does her house glass only for £6 and there must be at least 14 windows plus a conny in it, undercutting or what!!!

Hello JRDEasiReach,
If you have 370 customers are they done every 4 weeks?
If so how do you manage to do them all yourself?
Also without seeming to be nosy, what is your average price per customer?
Please could you let me know using my e-mail below;
darren@mrbungalow.co.uk
Kind regards. :)

How many customers, doesn't really matter. A custy in south east England, say 3 bed semi, would pay 10 quid. The same size house in Leeds might only cost 7 quid. It's not how many custies you have, it's a different question to what you are asking.
I've got some custies, outside only (British squaddies) that are 2 bed semi or terraced that pay about 12 quid. I also have German custies with Conservatories like the one in the photo, that cost 270 quid for the "Conny" (in and out with frames, trad). The difference is, on the expensive German custy, you can't leave a speck of fly crap or they call you back to remove it.
We also have a shopping mall with 5 entrances, they have big glass overhangs that we clean every 4 weeks. These take about 3 hours for 2 people to clean. It's only 1 custy, but pays over 340 quid.
It all depends where you are and what sort of custies you are looking for and what sort of work you want to do. Below, are 2 different custies as an example of mine. The first is a squaddie house about 12 quid. The second is a German at about 270 quid.

Have to say the first pic would be ideal it painted and cleaned up for ofices on top and can fill 3 vans at the same time would be ideal...
Second again nice for being a home.
Cozy can you do something for me as you are clearly better with a camera thaqt I am. if your up for it email me design@windowwashers.co.uk can be your good deed for tomorrow :)
