national companys will prob go for just commercial  ie chain stores,  a lot go in cheap and hope to make money on the numbers game,

Lol they must be crazy please give me an example say this shop is cleaned once per week for £20 takes an hour Trad or 45 mins pole this would be a decent price for a self employed window cleaner.

How would they nick it cos most wont change for 50p or 2-3 quid , they would have to really undercut right?

then the workers cleaning it what getting paid next to nothing? what happens then work quality goes down!

cant be money to be made can there i mean say if you have all of Starbucks
shops in london can be what 1 mile apart or more , traffic etc , workers wages i mean 1 man might be lucky to actually clean 1 shop an hour maybe 2 if he is lucky

what would they pay the worker? fuel, insurance tax i mean how does it work?

National Retail Contracts

Hey Guys, I have 3 national contracts for retail, the reason we have won these is down to the fact that the head office wants one point of contact and wants to take the money handling away from the store.
The other main reason is helth and safety and insurance.

The money is fair if you are at the top of the chain, but in most cases the work is subbed from a FM company to a cleaning company to a national window cleaning company to regional window cleaning company to the local guy on the high street

Thats why they seem to be crap money but they dont start out like that

I subbed some out at £10 a store and someone tried to sub them back to us at £4 a store

All chains will go national in the next year or so.......................

does any one know what b and q went for in the end?

J.V.Price just explained how it works Blue. What level are you asking about for B & Q? Depends which poor sod at the end of the food chain got it.

[darren clarke]

the bottom end,  as i remember someone was moaning that they wanted them done for 35 a store

[cozy]

There you go mate, go get 2 X Mrs smith for the same money and less agro.

[Frankybadboy]

and cause the window cleaner is now getting less than he did 10 years ago,what suffers.........quailty of work.


ive seen some just local to me and if it was left like that to my house then i sack the person.

time will change when these big bosses off chain storesl will see that actaully they are not getting value for money,and there stores are looking a mess.

[Gav Camm lammy 283]

B+Q in wrexham is a disgrace n too think
i live just up the road
could be the cleanist store in the uk 

[Frankybadboy]

i know for sure that a few managers have been moaning to head office about state of shop fronts.

The quickest way to solve this problem is dont make yourself available for subcontract. If you do you are just part of the  problem.Some times dig our own graves.
