Its amazing who keeps the flyers I have not delivered any for just over a week but have had calls every day. I think you just have to keep on delivering them and eventually the calls just keep rolling in. Its nice when you pick up some nice jobs!! ;) where are you based?

I live in Cleethorpes,a very big area on the east coast mate,theres lots of little villages around here too!

to be hoped you are never sick or you will lose these customers as well

i done m back in 4years ago, in that time i never lost 1 custy :o n i must of had at least
9/10months off not inc bad weather ;D great bunch ;)
-
i know what you mean m8,but they said they couldnt wait no longer.They gave him over 3 months and said they cant see him cleaning anytime soon so they need there windows cleaned.
Im sorry to hear he fell off his LADDERS, but if work comes my way i will take it,im not in a habit of stealing work but if a house owner wants there windows cleaning every 4 weeks and have not had them cleaned for perhaps 16 weeks can you blame them?????????????????????

last 4 years ive had two periods of 6 weeks off and also never lost one ,
-
good on you m8!
But these are 500k houses and i suppose they like there house looking nice
-
you dont know how bad he is,you shoud go and see him and offer to clean his work untill he is ready to return,one day someone might do the same for you
-
its a good idea m8,and if i knew him i would pal.
I dont want to steal work and when i ask someone if they want a window cleaner i ask if they have a window cleaner and if they have one i walk away!
-
a woman i know tipped me off,her estates cleaner fell last year sometime and theyre all now gaggin for a cleaner -but i told her im not intrested ,told her maybe he will get better . im not preaching or anything and if i was desperate id jump in there same as next fellah . apparently the guy hurt his arm or thumb badly
-
I picked up a job last week: the custy said they were new to the area. I asked how they heard of us and they said the previous owners left our leaflet for them.
We delivered that leaflet two years ago, and the previous owners never contacted us

i think you are being out of order by doing this work if hes really damaged his leg he may want to return WOULD YOU CLEEWINDOWS give the guy is work back ?
if you went about it the right way and got in contact with the guy to see if he was going to return before you started doing the work that would be better , you never no he minght not beable to return and he minght put other work your way , but dont just take it without finding out if he will return .
otherwise it minght come back to haunght you .
i would guarantee if it was my work and i ended up sick for a few months i wouldnt be a happy chap .
-
i dont know him m8,and im not out to take anyones work,im sorry he hurt his leg,i dont know who he is.
Im just trying to build my business up.
Maybe he should have found another windy to coveer for him.

If i was you i would at least ask the homeowners if they have his contact details and make an attempt to get in touch with the guy.You never know he may just have a load of other work that he is willing to part with,and as you have been a nice chappy he may pass it your way....(mind if it was me i would want you to part with some cash)
-
Everyone is quick to say "don't pinch another windys work", but has he told his custys that he is going to be off for a while or when he expects to be back. If it was my work that is what I would do.
-
if any customer comes to you for cleaning thats their choice
im always sorry for anybodies poor circumstances i had 8 weeks
off the other year through illness i made dam sure my customers
new the score..didnt lose one.
if he hasnt kept his customers up to date with whats going
on they are bound to drift to other people.makes me laugh with all
this you are devil in disguise business nobody is responsible
for your round but your self

gary i agree, if you are running a professional window cleaning service you should inform all your customers if you have a fall or some other problem.
Clee you have not undercut and they have asked you, just crack on and clean matey!!!
-
thank you to the last 3 posts,i would never undercut anyone,i just charge what i think is right
