I became a windowcleaner because brain surgery was going through a lean patch a few years ago.

I was 18 and only  had 2 previous jobs both i hated and spotted a job going working for a domestic window cleaner did that for 12 months then got talking to another window cleaner but commercial did that for 3 and half years then had enough of working my nuts off for peanuts and started picking up my own domestic work on weekends then bought enough work to leave and it more than coverd what i was being paid working for someone and never looked back

Want my own busines and get a kick out of turning minging windows into shiny windows oh and I like canvassing too ... more fun than selling cars which I currently do (not for long though hopefully)

Got the idea after our window cleaner stopped coming.

[Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle]

it first entered my head about 5 years ago. Someone told me how much money you could make 

At the time, i had been made redundant, had no car, and no money to buy a car. So ended up getting a job and the idea faded.

It was only last year that i started thinking about it again, and when i was made redundant again, with nothing to lose, i decided to go for it  

One of the best decisions i've ever made. now i have got the freedom & flexibility that only comes with being your own boss

My business failed so I started doing a bit of windowcleaning as a stopgap until something better came up.


That was back in 1987!  Still waiting!!!

Wanted my own business. Didn't like sitting behind a desk after years of being in active roles. Started part time with a few houses I bought from another cleaner, then bought some more to go full time. Very happy now.
