The wall of my office has a white board for each of the guys turnover per day. We have 5 boxes this week with more £400 in. 2 of my team have more than £400 on their sheets today. However a normal day for my team is £320-£350 per day per person. We have one commercial job which one cleaner can do in a 9 hour day which is £750

As I am writing this the time is 14;24 and one of my team have just arrived back to the yard with £346 on the board.

I have to admit I never did those numbers when I was a one man band, I would aim for about £200 per day. I started at 10am had a pub lunch each day and finished by 4pm. Often I would only do 4 days cleaning a week.

Its easy to hit the high numbers with staff that have to leave the yard at 7am and work all day 5 days a week.

Like I’ve said many times before it takes years and years to build what I would consider a really good book full of work,this is one of the reasons I’m baffled at the prices people are asking for there work when it comes to selling it. As for 1 man bands it is all area and the quality of work you have ,some people say it’s ridiculous to say you can earn that kind of money on your own others would laugh to thereselves and say well I do.

Yep, agreed.

Brilliant!! hahaha

100 a day 😂👉🏽🍩 id work for someone else and give them the grief,these days that would pay for your beer and fAgs a bit of shopping and that’s it. I’m not knocking anyone who earns that but come on you can earn more than that even if it is cleaning glass for a living.

[NWH]

I had another 1 this week she said can you price I said yep I’ll have a look now I said,it’ll be 42 all my 40s are now 42 she said the other guy charged 27 I said that’s my price she said go ahead at least I know you’ll keep coming to clean them. You don’t ask you don’t get I could have said 30 and done myself out of 72 odd pound a year and that’s 1 job only,if I now get another 10 jobs in that same little area I’ve gained 7-800 a year over him on price alone fo cleaning the same houses.

[SB Cleaning]

It also depends on what part of the country your in...guys down south are going to be earning more on the whole i would imagine

100 a day is still a very good wage to some people, even before tax

I used to earn 16k a year in my last job before tax (only 3 years ago)

not long ago 500 a week was only something i could dream of earning, it was a LOT of money, now i can earn that in 2 days  if i really wanted to (i dont btw as i dont work enough hours)

Lets put it this way, if i was earning 1150 a month takehome and getting by, then adding another 500-600 quid a month takehome pay is  going to feel far from scraping by, its going to feel like riches.


Its a point that gets re-hashed over and over on this board but earnings and what is good or bad money is only in the eye of the beholder, so its a pointless debate. If you think you are rich you are if you think you are poor you are.

I totally agree, idiots working for £100 a day and other idiots cleaning conservatory roofs for free, with guys like that about its a wonder we aren't all working for peanuts.

So, apart from NWH who's on whatever seems to take his fancy, there seems like no one else- only Lee Pryor who's getting there or there abouts.  Up to this point then, it would appear that 400 per day is way off being the "norm". Surprised at this to be honest.... it all sounds so easy too!!

[NWH]

Why do I clean the odd roof for nothing if it’s a few panes of glass while I’m up there,coz it will reflect in no way what I’m getting overall for the Windows. Anyone self employed in the south would not think 1-150 is good money by any stretch of the imagination,as has been said time and time and time again if you have mortgage and bills it’s not a lot of money,Jesus i put about a 80-100 a week in my van on diesel. Like I said earlier on today they’ll be a lot of WCs reading this agreeing with me,they pay 1-150  a day to employees.

[NWH]

Do you know if you clean 6-8 £50 houses a day you can earn 3-400 quid,that’s amazing that in it I’ve never worked that out before 😂🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

Blimey pal it’s not a case of Charlie big balls on mine or Lees part it’s not unusual in this neck of the woods believe me,the average house price is a shack that needs loads doing to it for about 400k and there is a strong possibility that would be a terrace.

[zesty]

NWH,

I’m going off the HMRC’s National window cleaners earnings, not myself (again, incase your referring to me)

The average window cleaner isn’t earning more than 25k a year, in fact, a lot less, that’s the point I’m making.

Make your mind up Nigel. One minute it's the norm then it's not? Are you or are you not earning 400 quid per day, every working day?

[֍Winp®oClean֍]

Well?

[Lee Pryor]

Well?

So the 2 today that had over £400 on their sheets did get it all done. Like I said they left the yard at 7am, have the jobs all routed in the most efficient order, have large 700L tanks each so can work with a high flow and not run out. They also have to stay out until at least 4.30 unless finished. Then you factor in prices for the south which of course are higher. As I said before I never worked like that. How many one man bands work that hard every single day? Not many I bet. £400 days here and there are common for us. A more normal day is something over £300. Only one of our team came in with less than £300 today

i know what you mean adam.10 years ago i was just about scraping a living together window cleaning even though id been going 14 years.what happens is as you start to earn better money you get used to it so £100 seems terrible when your used to £150.then £150 seems rubbish when your used to earning£200+ etc.,etc.you also spend more(i do anyway)
