2 x £30 / 8 weekly

A Bl**dy good day by my reckoning

I love it too, I love the feeling of turning up at a new estate in a town I have never been to and thinking my days wages are in there....

Its a proper buzz...

[mlscontractcleaner]

Or twelve other window cleaners

[mickwc]

i love it!!!
picked one up the other day!! fronts only, £4!!  still got a buzz tho, one more, they all count!!!

[GDwindowcleaning]

Lol that has happened a few times but I always come out with a half decent score. Average just over 100 on my own but lowest is 40 and that was the worst ever, needed a beer when I got home after that day lol...

But to be fair the good days far outweigh the bad days so you just have to take it on the chin and start again the next day....

I need to start pushing for drives and patios, did a few last year, you had any luck with selling sealing?? i'm going to try and push that harder this year, some good money to be made in it!

George!! felt like a proud dad!! Just you remember who the daddy is!! lol

[GDwindowcleaning]

[mickwc]

regarding sealant- its a marmite thing for me and customers alike
I sell it and its a good product,but, and this is a big but, you have to apply it properly
I know others who would rather not seal because of the call backs you can get from it, but that is also part of customer expectation and how you educate them
Nature is very, very aggresive and will re-colonise anything outdoors in the blink of an eye, and customers really do think your putting down a magic barrier which will last for ever
They, as part of the process ,really must keep up the maintenance when your gone for years down the line
Having said that, its a massive earner if done correctley and its how I got started out - I just run out of things to do in winter so I thought I would give window cleaning a go- starting up in winter too
Best move  I ever made

email me if you got any other questions mick

I once sold a drive clean and seal a few years ago, when the man of the house came home once the sealer was dry he took his car key and shoved it down the joint!!

I then had him complaining that the sealer wasnt strong enough lol my point is that he expected this amazing invisible barrier that was going to protect his drive forever and a day....

It is a real marmite product...

[mickwc]

Thanks Roy!!

i cleaned a few drives last year, and the few that did ask about sealing didn't realise the price of it, when i came back with a quote they seemed to be quite shocked!I have heard about how difficult it can be to seal a drive, I've spoke to some of the main suppliers, they just say make sure its clean and dry!!easy for them to say, they are not going to get the calls back from unhappy customers! having said that this is a service i want to offer

thanks for the offer of advise! will email when i get stuck!! lol
