[Thr-windowcleaning]

Hello Clean it up forum!

I hope you are all well. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Tom, from north Surrey, and I've been following this forum as a 'silent' member for a few months now. I've learnt lots from you guys on here and chuckled a fair bit too!

I've been stuck in the same boring, poorly paid job for years now, and have decided its time for me to break free and venture into the world of self employment and self sufficiency! I'd like to get involved in window cleaning, both traditional and wfp, but have no previous experience....

*cue me now turning to the lovely ladies and gents of this forum*

Would anyone be kind enough to take me out for a day or two and show me the ropes? I'm based in Surrey and am happy to commute to you (as I don't want to be stepping on anyone locals toes!). In return for your words of wisdom, you'd get a days free labour, from a polite, presentable and eager to learn chap. I also make a mean cup of tea! :-)

Many thanks to all that have read this, and if you can help, please message me and I'll get contact.

Kind regards,

Tom

Practice trad on your own house over and over again try different soaps vary the mix (stronger / weaker )until your happy with whats right for you .If you make a mess of your house it doesn't matter better to make mistakes on own place than first customers like I did

Hi Tom, and welcome to the forum.

What paulben said. Do your own again and again. Get used to your tools and equipment, Check out youtube for more hints and tips.

All the best.

Hi Tom, learn trad on your own house by all means - it's useful.

Don't go up a ladder; waste of time and you can so easily injure yourself badly or might even die. Go straight to wfp and get out with someone within fifty miles of you.
