Thats true Jeff, it is my fault for putting it up, I cant expect anything else but a response!!!

Luke...only you & your Dad truly know your businesses situation & your area & market.  If you both dont want to commute to a weekly, too cheap clean, then dont.   You have succeeded in building a good business. 
Dont compromise yourselves if your earnings are good and your business name is solid.

OH YES I DO!!! today I have learnt that I should never post on a forum again, although I probably will!!!!

you have a question ask ask it, you have to pick who you listen too on here, as some of the wallys on here dont want you to do well, they want you to earn what they do and stay the same as them as they have no outlook, there is no names mentioned on this so dont relpy saying la la laaar and getting on your high horse as will fall on deaf ears. I'm just stating a fact in life that some people dont like to see others do well, me myself I thrive on it it pushes me to do better  for Family and myself

If you are the only window cleaners in your area charging £2 a window then I think it's time I relocate to your neck of the woods and start canvassing as I could make a killing where you are making £3000 a week. Seriously you try charging that where I live and you'd have no customers.

It is worth it Andy.

Think about it. I could probably do a place like that in 15 mins tops especially weekly. £12 x 4 is £48 per hour or even better 12 x £15 is £60 per hour mate. Like I said though it would have to be very local to me for obvious reasons. Another way to look at it is say 50 cleans at £12 is £600 a year. You have to look at the bigger picture mate  Smiley

It wouldn't be worth it on my round as all of my customers are now every 8 weeks. It would wind me up having to do a weekly clean for so little money.

I work on the South Coast of Devon.
I've got good prices for my commercial work and higher prices than trad window cleaners locally for residential work.
I manage to secure about one third of all new work I quote for, (I quote high) as my round is full so it's a case of drop cheaper work and replace with more expensive work. There are a lot of window cleaners where I work so there is a lot of competition hence I can't quote 'daft money' quotes as much as I'd like to. Half the quotes I'm asked to give I don't bother with now as I know I'm wasting my time because of the areas asked.
Despite suffering from arthritus I still manage to maintain my busy schedule most of the time and I am just as fast if not faster than most WFPolers in my area and use the lightest telescopic poles possible. Couldn't get on with the Supalight poles unfortunately!
I just feel jealous trying to fight the pain of arthritus everyday and reading how others can earn crazy money according to location. Oh well, it's a hard life for some, c'est la vie! Just hit a nerve today because I've been on a really bad flare up with my arthritus for the past 2 weeks and had to take 2 days off this week because the pain was unbearable.

I did it to get away from the "not this month" brigade when I first started up... I just prefer it because I know that all my customers will want them doing every time I turn up.

Is took a long time to buld the round up like it, but its been worth it.
