Window Cleaning Forum / Re: New Estate
« Last post by Bungle on December 17, 2025, 07:25:38 pm »
£10 for the window clean and they get a free wheelie bin clean?

Only have 2 at a tenner and the other 6 are £15 a month. They are all near each other so don't need to move the van, I could batter them out in an hour if I don't chat with the customers. If I decide to move in to the estate then I would need a carrot so i could pick up most of them. 178 houses even at a tenner is a nice monthly earner. I do the wheelie bins for free, take them out night before, clean and put back in the next day. Once the estate is complete and I have most of the customers then I could increase my price. I think that's how big businesses work, they give one a cheap subscription and then increase with at least inflation every year. 😉

You clean the bins on the same day as you clean the windows? What if you're behind on the windows or take a week off? Where does that leave the bins? How do you clean the bins? Where does the dirty water go?

This isn't adding up to me.

Personally I am neutral on EVS. My wish to dislike Daz post was the thought of Kemi Badenoch, or someone similar as PM.

The tories said they would scrap the petrol/diesel  ban due to come into force in 2030 if they got back into power.....let's hope they get back in....
Shame the site doesn't have a dislike button.

Ive got no desire to go electric at all and hopefully the next government will see sense and abolish it.

The whole green agenda is nonsense.

However, we’ve had a brand new Kia EV3 since August and its hands down the best car we’ve ever owned.

I’m a massive, and I mean massive, petrol head, but there is a place for EV’s.

For our type of work, and EV van is pretty much perfect, unless you’re doing loads of motorway miles.

Disclaimer - I absolutely despise the green agenda and owning and ev is purely based on what we wanted rather than ‘saving the planet’

Hi

just received notice from severn trent they are mandatory enforcing water meter charging which ws previously fitted but never requested by us,

Is there any way i can appeal against this.

Thank you.

Any ideas on how much it costs on a water meter for 1000 litre tank?

Below will only apply is your running an ro system
If your waste water is returned to sewer , then get an approved sub meter fitted in line for filling tank send waste water onto garden  or pond etc ,then it’s not being returned to sewer.advise them what you doing and tell them your a window cleaner and you’ve fitted a sub meter ,once the sub meter is fitted give them the start reading as it won’t be zero
When they bill you give them the sub meter reading and that will calculate the difference will save you a couple of hundred quid a year,I’ve done it for years with souther water no issues at all.
I’m assuming your filling via an ro,if not you just have to suck it up and pay

Evening gents, where have you found best value for money V's build quality for new Reel Hose 6mm

Cheers
Dazzler

Hi mate a purchased a pure freedom hose reel  for my 6mm hose,11 years ago still going strong , the only thing I’ve had to do is get Some metal plates welded to the bottom of the frame due to the box tubing wearing out due to abrasion on the ground when moving the hose reel about .
There’s not been any other problems at all money well spent. It’s a manual hose reel
