Ive spoken to charlie before and he told me what he pays a day and its a good wage plus you dont have the stresses of running a business,
-
Yes Charlie, I think I know what you meant. You are self employed? Would you work from 6 till 4 (54 hrs a week) just because it's safer? And is it?
Never mind, good luck anyway.
I know CM (sorry), but would you go and work for someone else? I have been watching the recent posts about guys coming into this game for exactly that reason, no more boss. That's the point I was making. Why would I have a pop at a firm that's so successful?
-
what is the salary charlie?
-
Yer I am self employed i work for myslef and have people work for me
Would you work from 6 till 4 (54 hrs a week) just because it's safer? And is it? please explain

-
Safe, when the brown stuff hits the fan and they need to cut "Costs" safe. That's why alot of guys ended up on this malarky, because they thought they had safe jobs.
-
Depends on the person and what they have to offer the company
what is the salary charlie?
-
charlie i'm getting CV's sent to me at the moment from an ad in the Job centre. i could pass them over to you if you want. I know what i'm looking for and none have been that yet. your spec might be different though.
There is a guy keen to learn the trade as he would love to go into rope access eventually. Maybe thats something more for you if the guy is keen on heights?
anyways if any good then drop me a mail and i'll reply with the details?

No mate, I just hated the thought of filling someone elses pockets. I admit, the thought of working for someone winds me up. I was just reacting. I get a bit excited too fast at times.

Why would anybody go back and work for someone else,thats why I started in the first place ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Hey all, have found 2 good guys, still could do with another 2 so if anyone is interested please give me a call or drop me a CV
-
I can see the attraction for some. How does your stated hours fit in with the 48 hour (maximum) week for employees?
-
8.5 hours a day X 6 is 51 hours
Saturdays our job and finish so normally 12 ish
So across the 17 weeks it is judged on it would work out under 48 hours a week
Most of our guy have opted out of the 48 hour week as they like all the over time.
-
Most people in the real world would love 51 hrs per week,
Ive got a guy who gives me a hand away from his full time job as a welder who is now on 32 hrs per week because of the credit crunch( I cant spell the reses...) word ;)
What im getting at is that most people on here brag about how little time they spend at work when in reality most of the UK are trying to boost their hours.
I myself work 24hrs per day.....

I can't believe this - someone comes on here offering work which I guess will pay the operative 20k a year plus a van and holidays - and the majority of posters slate him! :(
No I wouldn't take it, but someone who has been made redundant or who is looking for work for a reliable mate would find that useful, especially this time of the year.
-
With the right attitude and work ethos, a good employ would soon be on £30-£40k with JV, which is way more than the average one man band will take home net.
I would pay £30k to the right man any day of the week, they would have to prove themselves first though.

I didn't see any slating - just a bit of banter. Unless of course some posts had been removed by the time I got here?

I'm sure I could be worth 35k - 40k myself to a good employer and that is more than I currently profit from my business. Obviously I would need to get a cherry picker licence first to be worth that (though I wouldn't do abseiling). The down side is that I would lose the flexi time and the autonomy that I've come to love.
I actually have come to like the flexi time more than the money. No-one ever laid on their death bed saying that they wish they had done more overtime. If i was in Charlie or Dave's areas and if I was still in the habit of being an employee, I would definitely be applying though. The problem with self-employment is that it can make some people unemployable :) .
BTW. I'm only at home because I've been doing shop cleaning down the road from my place. Just having a break before I go out to do some domestos.
-
i agree exactly leapstall.its the flexability and less time at work that appeals and still half decent money!i couldnt work 6 days a week EVERY WEEK!as for starting at 630?no way!id be knackered after a week with JVPRICE!! :o i do on average 25-30 hours a week in winter with bad weather and do ok.today its chucking it down in manchester so doin a few jobs in the flat then xmas shopping with the girlfriend and her mate later at 4pm.back out tommorrow and sat.imagine havin to work in the heavy rain at 630 in the morning!torture!that why i got out of landscape gardening!9am is the earliest i start on domestics and work til 4pm in winter if poss.half hour for dinner and usually a couple of teabreaks!i work harder and longer in spring/summer though with all the extras like conny roofs/fascias/gutter etc to fit in round my normal work! ;D ;D

I know quite a few average "one man bands", that take more than £30K home. You seem to think that "one man bands" don't earn a lot. Your attitude is, if the "normal window cleaner" doesn't have more than 2 firm vans and T-shirts with printed logo's on them and at least 3 people working for him, then they can't earn more than you. Wrong! I wish, you would get off your high horse. There are people on here, that are 10 times bigger than you.
I don't want to sound nasty, ban me if you like, but all this "I'm a mod, I must be better than the rest of you", is a joke. it makes my blood boil, when I see people creeping up your backside. Mike Halliday gives great answers on posts, right down to earth.
You don't answer posts from guys, who want an answer on a "forum question", guys who ask mods (YOU) in the "window cleaning section" all you answer, is your own posts. Posts you started, or compliments.
Shame
In the last 6 months, all you've been giving is an impression, that you are some kind of household name.
Most of your posts are waving your own flag (I've been on TV, blah blah)
It's embarrassing to read. There is nothing wrong, with doing well, it's when you shove YOUR flag down other peoples throats.
How you accept the praise from "smaller one man bands" is sickening.
By the way, Cozy told you by email who I was when I opened my account, so I am not hiding from anything.
Who are they then? ;D

Yeah i hate that too-window firms with T shirts, i see it and avoid it, and the people wearing them...

This is strange. It's like I've been reading different posts to some people :) .
I try to read posts without interjecting any particular feeling or emotion into it because the text is just what it is but the feeling may all be coming from me rather than the one who does the original posting.

Somebody seems upset
Seems like my comments are not wanted by some people, ah never mind, who cares.
At least my wife loves me.

Do you think I have a stalker ?
I am getting worried, some guy knows everything about me to the point of obsession, he can even read thought i didnt know i had.
Do I call the police ?

Yeah, but they would have to work their nuts off in all weathers, work lots of hours over 6 days a week & be left with very little personal freedom!
Might suit some, not me though.

Yep. Defo phone the old bill Dave. ;D
Funnily enough, I get a few calls for the old bill down your way. My 0845 number is vaguely similar to the one used by Devon and Cornwall police. So if you do ring the old bill, you may just end up phoning me :)

JV staff work 48 hours a week and if they are on £40K a year, which is unlikely take home pay would be about £12per hour average £96 a day, over 6 day week.

Ewan,
What was the point in you posting on this thread ??? ???
Quotes like this astound me they really do :-\ :-\.

Ewan
In the real world £30-£40,000 per year is an outstanding job especially without the headache of being self employed or running a business.
In this little crazy world of CIU though there are many people, including yourself who are convinced that they are worth £100,000 per year.
Im sorry to burst the bubble Ewan but you arent :-* :-*
Dean
-
I thought that was obvious, it‘s in response to Dave post. But also giving the impression employed window cleaners earn £30-40k as if it is a walk in the park is misleading.
Agreed
That's why I put my post on, just to clarify what Dave meant by "work ethos" & "attitude"
What JV. Price is offering though is a good employment prospect for a none window cleaner to be employed, or even a w/c that preferes employment- I'm not knocking that at all.
But, as said, to achieve what Dave casually described would not come easy! ;)
-
Buying,
A van, standard equipment, Wfp set up,
Canvassing £40,000 per years worth of work,
Cleaning £40,000 per years work,
Collecting £40,000 per year,
Dealing with non payers,
Paying other costs Ie insurances,
Saving your tax money for 12 months,
Motivating yourself in bad weather,
Motivating yourself to work in good weather,
Not being paid for holidays,
plus many more is hardly easy is it?

28 days paid holiday a year
Company Van (if needed by the company)
Company Phone
Training with IPAF, BWCA, NVQ, IOSH and in house
Bonus Scheme

Please contact me on here, call the office on 01442 831777 or email a CV to charlie@jvprice.co.uk
This simple post has lead to a thread crammed full of comments as to why people arent interested in the job,
Why not go on the buy and sell section and bombard threads with why you dont want to buy something on there? (it has been known I know)
Its a bizarre world 8)
Dean
-
Knowing Ewan as I do ;) I'd say that is the most clear post I've ever seen him put on here.
Dean, good points there, but have you thought about working as a WC for someone else? Would you work as a WC for a set wage? Having someone else decide if you can have time off, and when you can have it? Working a custy knowing it pays a good price but you only get some of it. In what "Job" do you get paid exactly what you are worth?
Would you really like working 6 days a week? If being self employed is so much of a headache, why do it?
There are blokes on here that were in high earning high stress jobs. they left these jobs to work for themselves. I wonder why.
Just thought I should mention the other side of the coin. No windup intended.
-
Cozy,
I know what you are saying but I didnt reply to the post to start as I dont want the job,
Thats what im getting at mate.
As for people questioning why charlie as put the thread up its mental,
Just a few weeks ago Gazzasp8 was asking for a work place for his step son and ive seen many others who have asked for a placement.
Its crazy how people love the chance to show off, as for ewan saying 30-40k per year is a P-take????
Ive worked on the minimum wage when it was £4.50 ph stacking tyres for michelin....that is a P-take.
It is a public forum though and people are entitled to their opinion....no matter how stupid it is......
Any way I think its nearly pear cider time.
Dean
-
I've already covered Saturday night drinking on the other part of the forum mate 8)
I reckon you've misread Ewan's post though, or I have. ???
-
Im on the pear cider now,
Ewans post was dissing £40k per year no matter how its read.
Im bored of this now its sat night for christs sake.
£40k per year is a very good job though ;)

Do social workers seriously get trained, training in what, how to say no to every family in need, how to fob familys off that there doing all they can but yet 4 years down the line they still promise things will get sorted, sorry Ian just having bad time with our services and wouldnt wish any of it on anyone but ah the stuff will hit the fan soon ;D

I’m just questioning the issue that earning £40k a year as an employed window cleaner is not the norm. So to talk about it casually as if were true, is a p- take, bit like me saying I’m self employed earning window cleaner earning £100,000 a year. ;D
Very calm response for you Ewan! ;D
-
Good digging out of ewan ;-)
-
Totally agree with your last post apart from
I need to dig???
Have you got a split personality ewan?
-
Oh dear, i have an habit of winding people up lately , i am sure its not intentional.
As for self employed window cleaners earning a fortune, well that isnt the real world and it isnt the norm and not always the case, Where i live most self employed window cleaners are taking about £25- £30k gross, what there take home is, well work it out.
My lads are on £18k at the moment, which is on a par with most of the self employed near me.
All my staff have the opportunity to do better and take on more responsibility, but as it stands none of them are interested all they are interested in is taking there wage and partying all weekend, when they leave for home in the evening they dont have a care in the world, and thats they way they want it.
I would argue this forum isnt just for self employed, I have had a few job applicants from this site, all of them have said they would be prepared to leave there round behind to work for me.
It took me 5 years of self employment until i had £30k of turnover, and that wasnt through the lack of trying.
Just because i think a certain way doesnt mean I am trying to wind people or am on my high horse, If you knew me you would know I am down to earth and am quite humble.

Oh dear, i have an habit of winding people up lately , i am sure its not intentional.

I know you're not trying to wind anyone up, you may think different & your circumstances are different to most who post on here. ;)
Anyway, totally off original topic as this has got-
You can be a self employed w/c & earn lots of money without employing a sole. Subbing, so long as you know plenty of trusted fellow shiners you need not have a fleet of vans, employment costs or hassle etc.
One of my customers has a very large, well respected & extremely sucsessful roofing business. He's a really nice chap, ownes lots of land & properties, he's very wealthy & has a team of full time workers BUT he doesn't actually employ any of them. ;) He's run his business like this for years now & said it was the best thing he ever did. They are now reliable & work harder! :D

Im on the pear cider now,
Ewans post was dissing £40k per year no matter how its read.
Im bored of this now its sat night for christs sake.
£40k per year is a very good job though ;)
Dean
I'm with you on the pear cider Dear :D
40k a year aint a bad wage for anyone thats less than my wife earns as a trained social worker
Do social workers seriously get trained, training in what, how to say no to every family in need, how to fob familys off that there doing all they can but yet 4 years down the line they still promise things will get sorted, sorry Ian just having bad time with our services and wouldnt wish any of it on anyone but ah the stuff will hit the fan soon ;D
If you want to blame people I would look at the goverment and the amount of red tape, they have to fight first m8, I see this day in day out, I know your annoyed but look past the people that are trying to help you and be annoyed with the ones that make the problems..... ;)

Wow wish I had never asked, well except for the lad that is starting on monday and the lad clear magic put me in touch with that starts the following Monday
Being self employed is good for some people but most people in the uk are employed as they like to have a contract and have a confirmed wage.
I'm self employed and would not have it any other way but any guys that have started subbing for us end up employed
Wink wink dean and your northen army

Morning guys,
I found myself looking through old threads before work this morning and it was like getting into a time machine,
I took the job with the Price group just over 7 years after this post, I can honestly say that it's the best move I've ever made,
Also the company has grown beyond belief since this thread originally started,
Exciting times ahead,
Dean
