Window Cleaning Forum / How cheap is cheap.
« Last post by The Jester of Wibbly on February 15, 2026, 11:27:29 am »
I've seen some folk still charging £10, oooh, that was my starting price almost 20 years ago,  yet inflation must have doubled in those years.    Has our industry devalued?  Have you kept your prices to match inflation over the years ?

A wee bit of rain and everyone's complaining. Move up here and it rains every second day that's the reason I'm in and out all the time. First thing I have to do is look at the radar website to know when to pop out and try and get finished before it arrives. Last month I managed to do the morning shift and a new customer told me not to clean then because it will be raining later on. I now understand why she can't get a window cleaner.

Contradicting yourself again. Your ‘popping in and out’ to avoid cleaning in the rain, your customers are in control of how you work, not you.

Must be a slog having an average customer price of £10 yet letting them dictate your working conditions.

You can buy controllers that shut off the pump

something like this for £400

or if you are tight like me and like tinkering you can make your own with a float switch, solenoid valve and then something like this  relay  for about £100

You need a float switch to stop the booster pump.

I think he’ll need some sort of controller to stop the booster pump. Not just a 12v float & solenoid. That’s the problem.

Mine came powered from Pure Freedom but I changed the horizontal float valve (in your pic) to a vertical one so I could just drop it in my tank. Yes it stops the water flow(I don't have a booster pump)

I just put this around the hole at the top of my tank. The stainless steel,vertical float valve was £8  from amazon

A few questions. Does that float stops the booster pump and water flow?
Also is that powered ? And how ?
How exactly is that fitted?  before or after the prefilters?


I was thinking something likes this .

It is a bit mad today but quite amusing  :D
You’ve got more reels than Scottish😜……..granted they’re not over a grand a pop🤯

Just the one electric xline reel at £500 then the claber that is just there for emergency backup. The reel on top of the frame at the back is for pressure washing and cost £40 off amazon  :D

My van cost less than his reels
