6 windows 2 doors £4  ;D

I get rip off then! I get charged £12 from 6 gorgian windys! All on ground floor and very easy access.

Them gorgian windys are hard ti clean, if I was your window cleaner it would be at least £30 per visit and you would have to clean mi carpets at least once a year for free. Have we got a deal Tony ???

derek get Brian to find a friendly good window cleaner and ask him if  he could go out with him for a days work, just to observe, then he can see first hand what it involves, before he gets ino pricing and building rounds ect etc......it may not be for him.

Thats spot on neil. Theirs alot of factors that you need to take in (the exact same as carpet cleaning), they aren't big things but window cleaning is done on volume and if a few small things aren't taken into account when your pricing a few jobs up it can cost you hundreds if not thousands over the year. If theirs anything else mate email me your number and ill ring you and have a proper chat dannylowe88@hotmail.co.uk

If you use a waterfed pole and do not have to climb a ladder is that cheaper.

Is Poaching a Knee capping offense? or just a Competitive market?

All depends mate, im sure their's guys out there with TM's that are cheaper than people with porties....all depends on the operator. As for knee capping iv never heard of it going that far but i have heard of people kicking ladders out from under people and vans being set on fire!

That's crazy cheap! I'd charge you €45 for that lot!!

Water fed pole has much higher overheads than traditional cleaning, so although its faster, for domestic work the prices are often the same. On high work or commercial work WFP may be cheaper.
