Why dont you go for churches, office blocks, hotels even pubs etc. much more money there for early starts than shop windows.

for what you can see £15 in n out. Don't be surprised if someone is doing it cheaper though.
Thats the thing with shops, the more you have in one place, the cheaper you can do them.

Probley taking less than £8 weekly in and out
More like £6 I'd think

Considering that maccies is worth £15 or less with
8-10 times that amount of glass
keep it simple

If it's just that one side it wont take more than 5 mins will it probably even less.

if its just that window then 2.50 outside, 5 in and out.  although thats coming from if thats in a row of shops that you do.  if you have to drive specifically for that itd be double the price, therefore not worth it for you or the customer

There are a lot more windows than that one on the building, the biggest problem with cleaning that building is getting paid, its an independent store, and times are tough on Teesside. Steve the owner has done very well & got a beutiful flagship store, the best on Teesside.

Got no worries from me I don't entertain shops anymore. I was asked By the owner of the hairdressers in Lower belvedere parade the other week whilst canvassing to go and quote but not bothered going down there so worth a pop in by you. Said her we is crap there.
