I have done it in the past. Never had any problems doing it after dark, but I personally prefer to be ready to clean them there and then if I get a 'yes'.

Magic, I've been thinking all day Magic will have picked up another 11 today. I know he will have.

You've let me down!

Just kidding bud. There's something about shops, I always seem to get something out of them. I don't know why but they just seem really handy to have on the books.

I just had a potential an email from another reccomdation but she is 17 miles away,she says there's no window cleaner up here ,I said prob to far and she has now asked if I can post leaflets to her and she will give them out to make it worth my while,I'm thinking if I can get a days work its worth the travel.

Might be worth going up there and having a knock round and see what the areas like. Ask her if should could speak to a couple of her neighbours. Do you use a professional leaflet or have you done your own?

You know I got loads of top glossy brochures and from what I've read on here you seem to get a lot better response from a home made job.
