And the business
 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Window-cleaning-business-for-sale-33-500-comes-with-work-2-vans-/280899365071?pt=UK_B_I_Business_for_Sale_CV&hash=item4166e828cf#ht_574wt_1270

Yours I take it?

Good luck.

I've always found this forum to be full of a lot of tight wads and hot air.

I saw a bicycle shop sell for £50,000 in my area the other day. £120,000 turn over £40,000 profit. Didn't think it was a particularly good deal.

Seems cheap a whole window cleaning business for that price. The vans and equipment must come to 12-15k so for less than 3 cleans your getting the work. A lot more worth it than you think. If it wasnt all the equipment and lockup with it id pay 15k for a 4600 profit each month as in total the work must add too more 6k. 2.5 cleans oh yes please.

I so wish I hadn't seen that :-(

Since starting in this business only last week I cannot stop thinking about it.  I know I should listen to my head and start gently, building slowly but I am already in love with window cleaning.

I was taught by a brilliant trad friend, a cousin actually.  He's been in the business for decades and simply loves going up and down his ladder.  I wouldn't be surprised if he uses a ladder to get on the toilet, he's that short.

I started working with trad stuff and I am so glad that I have, I have learnt so much about houses and windows in particular. 

Bearing the nice side to trad methods, I cannot wait to get my hands on a pure water set up.  I've nearly finished my pole.  Harris, brilliant in learning pole control and techniques.  I use it with trad mop and blade on awkward windows, thoroughly recomend a Harris pole to any newcomers. 

I'm just waiting for a nice letter from the taxman so I can spend a couple of hundred on getting under way.

I have found also that I am a good chatter, which I enjoy as do the customers.  They really like me being a local homecoming lad.  Great community down here.  Love it.
