spoke to another local windy whom I had never seen or heard of recently who went on to tell me he had a large round of 125 customers,  I thought he was joking, and another I know of who has been tradding for decades has a large round of 67 custys (so I was told)

what do you consider a large residential? a couple of hundred customers or thousands?

[p1w1]

I personally think the number of customers is irrelevant who's to say the guy with 67 customer has houses twice the size of the guy with 125 it's the value of a round that's the important bit.

[sunshine windows]

I would say 400+ for a one man band, monthly rota is large enough

you have missed the point, I said what would you consider a large round, I would say at least 1500 customers, 67 or 125 is for part timers

Definitely part time brackets. 900 could be large in one persons opinion for property sizes. I would say 3 or 4 men full time is large.
Window cleaners are a funny bunch when it comes to conversations with another windy!

I do that in a few days. Lol. And I'm just a little one man band.

I agree that a one man band usually would have about 400 or so customers.

A Large round I would say 800 plus.

No doubt you do get some though who only have a few hundred customers, but because of size of properties they make a very good living.

It's all relative really. Average price, etc.

A large round to who? ask the question properly and you might get a proper answer.
Are you on about a large round for a 1 man band or a large round for a team of 4+ window cleaners ?
A large round for a 1 man band could be 20 houses a day , 5 days a week so 400 for 1 guy could be huge but would be tiny for a team of 4 people.....do you get me?

35 houses each a month ? Is it a weekend job?

I don't think he's asked any question improperly. A DOMESTIC round of 125 doors would need to be large houses or cleaned weekly to give a fulltime windy a wage. I wouldn't consider either to be large.

[Shane sharples]

I think he has , needs to be more specific. ' what would you consider a large round?'
A large domestic or commercial?
A large round for 1 person or what?
1500 houses for 4 windys wouldn't be a large round but would be too much for 1 guy ....

[windowswashed]

500 houses would be a lot for one person

[SeanK]

Its the amount of work not numbers that decides the size of a round, 500 properties wouldn't be that large a round if they
where 8 weekly a round of 150 houses would be bigger if they where 2 weekly, then you have to take in the size of the
properties.

I agree, normal matchbox houses with tiny windows take 5-7 minutes whereas large country manors can take hours

[Walter Mitty]

I don't know about "large" but a sole trader using WFP with a mix of all sorts of jobs would possibly start feeling pushed somewhere around 350 or even 400 customers if doing them mostly at 6 week intervals.  I settle for rather less than this but I have some commercial jobs too, and my body feels it in ways that it once didn't.

67 houses between 50-100 a house id rather be a pert timer rather than run round like a maniac doing a 1000 houses for the sam money or less though eh
you have missed the point, I said what would you consider a large round, I would say at least 1500 customers, 67 or 125 is for part timers

[NWH]

It's not how many jobs a large round in my eyes it's what it's worth week in week out,some people clean 20-30 houses a day some clean 4-5 I know what I'd rather do

[Plankton]

I would imagine he has bumped into said f***wit on the job and based on the area he was working (maybe 3 bed houses) he thought wtf is this guy kidding!

[chris turner]

My round is 8 weekly, I have 260 residential customers and 13 commercial.
I do around 8-9 houses a day, 4 days a week, with a couple of commercial jobs each week.
And I thought I was overworking myself
