I have always avoided the Georgians around where I live because they are too hard. The first rule of window cleaning for me is to pick easy houses.

Some of my best paying work are awkward jobs.  Stuff where van-mounted window cleaners would avoid because of parking issues and places where trad window cleaners avoid since it'd be difficult to do with ladders.

A backpack excells on these types of properties; and when I'm asked to quote for this type of property, I always stick a good price in.

As someone on this forum once said, there's no such thing as a difficult property; just an underpriced one.

Hi Tosh

I don't think I have ever disagreed with you before so this is a first. I have taken on these houses, at a premium price as well, but I just get pee-ed off with them. I have one at the moment £40 job with conservatory, nice lady etc but I just hate doing it.

I'm with you on that one Vince.

I've got some jobs which are good payers, but they're still unpleasant to do.

I'd rather have less money, and less of a nightmare job.

i cant believe people are suggesting using sprays... i mean why do we pay about £4 for a scrim ? because thats its job. ring it out so its barely damp and clean the glass with it, if the glass is really dirty it will mist up so then we use a dry scrim to finish off, its that simple
sometimes we can get to technical for our own good, costing us time and money

second that
