I've just come back from holidaying in Majorca for 10 days. But there was this bloke in our Hotel from Wakefield. He was telling me that his wc only charged £4.50 for his 10 windows. I told him where I live price would be about a tenner.
My question is to wcs in Wakefield How do you make a living charging so little???

There are w/c I would say all over charging that,some don't put there prices up for 10 years

he`l be making more than min wage i guess, alot of w/c arnt business oriantated but they might still make just enough to pay the bills, but who wants to live with nothing when this job offers more potential than earning so little.

i lost a job to a wc who charged her £5 for 6 sets of 6 windows and 2 doors,  i was under charging her at £7 as a favour as i do a lot of her family,

Don't forget most Northern window cleaners are professionals, they are not like the bands of Muppets operating down South who don't really have a clue (I don't actually mean all of you on here) Which means they work faster and more efficiently, and some may not charge as much as they should, maybe the guy in the hotel was having his windows cleaned by a dole dosser?

I can't wait for your reactions to this post!
At least it will give you something to do today.
Happy moaning and spitting back!

The cost of living in Wakefield is very cheap like Whippit food,  flat caps and bicycle tryres !

The biggest expense is feeding the horse and occasionally having to buy new wooden wheel for the cart where they can fall off due to the cobbled roads !

Just what I thought.

isnt coronation street in wakefield? i mean when it was on in 1970? still the same although some now have colour tvs
and some window cleaners up there aare very modern, theyve given up with shammys and use squeegees now

Im not from Wakefield  Honest
But it does make you think, that does sound very cheap
Although if the round is very compact I can see how it is possible to charge a bit less.
I was talking to a wc in my area today, he has been in the game 20 years.
I found out he is charging about 50% less than me 
He is trad, and does a great job, all his work is very compact.
