You watch too much tv ;D.

I don't think il ever see it even though I'm probably in the targeted area. Most of the stuff i watch is on Netflix and Amazon. Anything on TV i tend to record so i can skip the ads.

The secret to advertising is repetition, repetition, repetition!
Sounds like Lee has it right. Good luck to him.

I don’t know what the ROI is - my guy feeling is it’s not going to be the best.

But its a waste if its not spent scuba-diving.

If I were to spend this kind of budget I’d invest in hardware for the business and up the game focusing specifically on big time commercial, the likes that Hugh Seer and Charlie Price undertake.

I did invest a lot in equipment ect.

Why go after big time commercial? we get just as much money from domestic and there is no big company doing it. We are trying to be that company. We do do commercial by the way.

Personal taste Lee. Domestics do my nut.


Wanna get established in Basingstoke? Could be the start of your mid-southern hub. A stepping-stone into the South Midlands and Bristol. Ive got 8K of domestic work to offload  ;)


Newbury, Andover, Oxford, Reading, Bournemouth, Swindon, Bristol, Cardiff, Bath, Southampton. All heaving with lucrative domestic clients gagging for a London based window washer.

Domestics dont need to do my nut because I never see or speak to them. I am only interested in the money per head per day.

I have no plans to expand our area any further or to set up another base. I only ever wanted a 10ish van business in the south east.

Poor Lee Pryor seemingly can't open his mouth without people having ago and trying to belittle him. The guys done well get over it for God's sake. I never thought you could make a scaleable business doing mostly domestic Windows but I was wrong.  Can't knock the bloke can you and alot of people on here could do well to listen to his advice instead of mocking it.  Hats off from me Mr Pryor and keep good work up ignore the jealous haters !!

Fair enough lee!the price  Would purely just fascinate us it's surely in a good 5 figures anyway..

We see you're offering and focusing on Regualr only sign up via gocardless and offering those prices you're Surely having people sign up and cancel the mandate to pull a one off or the 2 off cancelations when they ain't in to open gate and front gets done as they can't text back and won't allow the front ... the usual window cleaner problems my only concern would be the scale of the mess around you're  opening yourself to by not charging more for first cleans say at least 50% more then down to normal could detour it . But it seems you're looking at purely the money and since you are no longer cleaning you don't get mad with the customers who say one thing then do the other 👍🏻

I guess on the large scale of things out of 100 sign ups the ratio is good :)
Its all impressive stuff you've done what a lot of us have always dreamed !
I was going to say leave some work for us ;)but we should be fine will always be those customers that need micro management who want to be in each time want the full house each time and who doesn't want direct debit basically not the most profitable customers but the ones who keep us normal folk going Hopefully you don't get all the good ones ! 😀😀

Oh also sky as well omg !!! Perhaps Don't go like the clappers mate history suggests it's a bad idea just look what happened to the Romans

Fair play to Lee Pryor. You can't knock someone for doing well and then expanding their business.

Maybe he's already here. I lost a 3 bed semi with conservatory that I charged £23 8 weekly to someone who's going to do it for £20 including the roof!  :o

LOL

Best thought for going bigger, love it

There are a couple other large companies in south east,

Groves window cleaning but I think his commercial as well, possibly mostly I don't know and another company, carter and faraday but I'm guessing they do other things as well


If I was 20 years younger I would be as inclined with knowledge I have now to push to be as big as possible,

10 vans is a good size to make it self sufficient with good payment plan to all staff

I'd be happy with 4 vans on the road don't have such a need for that much income now, whether that would be enough for me to walk away and be behind the scene  not sure but eldest daughter is involved in business now, so she can start to learn how to run things and then take over

I used to work for Groves  , he is commercial only,  he earns well out of it,  but it is a headache running commercial, as you know Tony

The other companies mentioned there are all commercial only. The bigger residential are franchises.

Commercial work is worthless, seen so many big guys fall cos of ruthless under cutting and rubbish cleaning.   Domestic work is worth ten times as much imho .
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.
