Window Cleaning Forum / New Estate
« Last post by Scottish Cleaning Service on Today at 09:19:21 am »
We have a new estate developing up the road from me. I have about 8 customers now and not many window cleaners on the estate. I went in and spoke to the sales woman and she knew who I was because they were talking to the residents on the estate.

When I first drove in and posted some cards I didn't expect to pick up many. I only got one small clean for a tenner a month and its growing all the time. Will be dropping off a few boxes of chocolates in the sales office for all their help. I always go up at weekends when most of the residents are home.

This is for anyone who wants to target a new estate.

Morning,
I sold my other van a few months ago then the lady that was with me part time retired. I've also sold around £2,000 of monthly work need to sell around the same amount in coming months leaving me enough for a nice 3 day week. As long as I'm active and still have the drive and energy I'll carry on.

Did you use a cherry picker to get to the panels?

Hi all, I've been asked to quote for cleaning a solar farm 4 times a year. Think there is about a thousand panels and will need to wait till they are finished building it for access. Last price I heard was 25p a panel but that was 5 years ago. Any help most welcome.

That was what solar  Steve was paying sub contractors ,not what we would charge the customers, I very much doubt they will get you to do it most are now cleaned with a tractor system as it’s far quicker and more cost effective for the site owners .
We have recently done 250 panels on a commercial building roof very awkward access £1250 plus vat

What's the current price per domestic window these days?

Thanks Robert, my Clarke pump arrived today for another bit of equipment when I make my own pure in my lockup. I already have the rubber hose (6m) and fuel pump handle to connect to the pump for quick delivery.

There's always old wheelie bins kicking about which are great for storing hose. I now rescue abandoned wheelie bins and take them home with me. Then I remove the wheels and cut them so they fit my storage shelf and cut out a few handles on them. Because they are square they fit together and take up all the space.

Wheelie bins are owned by the council where we live. Even if they are abandoned, they still belong to the council.
They are like shopping trolleys.

Up here we own the wheelie bins and have to pay £45 for a new one. My neighbour was telling me this who works for the council. If they owned them then they would need to replace bins for free when stolen and deal with the police on the theft report. That's the reason they don't want them back and are left abandoned when broken. I do some charity work and collect them which leads to an MBE so I'm told.
