I understand that the prices are low in the North East ??

Semis at £5 type of money and bigger houses with connies not much more ? ... apologies if Im incorrect.

If the prices are low you gonna struggle to get anyone like Paul Dale up there as will take twice as long for him to do his £500 in a week or less target.

Have you had a go yourself ?

Hi thanks for the reply I have had a go my self ive got a very small amount of work only about £50 worth but I'm really struggling. I'm new to this and trying to set up on my own I'm not looking for a great deal of work at the minute about £150-250 a month as I'm still working full time. I would buy small amount of work if there is anyup for sale.

Get a load of leaflets and get knocking on some doors in the evening mate (between 6-8) and leaflet the houses that you get no answer
Do this for a few weeks, mon-fri, and you'll have the amount you want in no time
("Hi, just a local window cleaner in the area. Just wondered if you might be looking for a regular window cleaner at all".... Dont waste your time with any more spiel than that, you're just looking for easy yes's at the moment)

Also get a hoody/jumper printed (if you haven't got a business name yet, just get 'Window Cleaner' Printed on them so people can see it)

Do your new jobs on a saturday if you can so you've got a decent chance of people seeing you around cleaning

If you're only looking at £150 a month at the moment it shouldn't take long at all if you do all that...

Decent Prices can be obtained on our 'up north' customers.
DonKee's advice is spot on.
Do a top job for the customers you have and get and you will soon have that extra £150+
The more you put in the more you get out!

You're wrong at least in part some lads do charge peanuts even windys that have been on the go 20yrs or so are charging a fair bit less than me .
