north south divide is everything tho isnt it.

house prices etc .....

so if someone in say london earns £200 a day - he will prob have to pay a lot more for his living costs so surely it roughly balances out?

Some window cleaners here don't earn much more, but that is because they have been going too long and not put their prices up. They also don't believe that they are worth any more.

I'm from Barnsley also, working trad, part time at the moment possibly hoping to build it up to full time and leave my other job. I struggle to do more than 100 in a day working alone at the prices in this area. I want to raise them but when I look into what friends and family are paying i'm not sure I could. For example my mother lives in Shafton and is paying 4 quid for her semi which is. Fairly big with a small porch which has glass also.

I live in Birdwell but come from Shafton originally. My round is in Sheffield. But prices are the same. Have thought about going wfp but can't afford it at the moment, also concerned about whether it will make me much quicker with all the moving of the van hose reeling etc as i'm all domestic.

Think I might start saving up and get a van mounted system eventually. Think it would give me more scope to do different jobs. Only been doing this a few months so still sussing everything out.
