Who are the biggest window cleaning company in Britain?
You's have it lucky down south with what you charge , no wonder you can be all smug comparing to the northerners it's a different playing field. But long as your happy, and by sounds of it, coming on to brag about how much you earn to others seems a bit sad tbh

I haven't said what I earn. The closest to that on this thread was me saying a goal for the future that hasn't happened yet. That was also a response to a question so not really bragging.

Seems to me that the only people who would see that as bragging or sad are the ones earning MODDED all themselves. The reason they would think that is either feeling threatened or jealous. Much easier to bash someone else than do something about making it happen for them.

To answer your question nation wide window cleaning are probably the biggest. They are only commercial. In the residential market who knows.

i heard some one say humility is the most attactive personality trait. Dunno it is true, either way it dont deem to apply here with lee pryor.

So your first post on this forum is bashing a member of nearly a decade. Well done! Welcome, I think you will fit right in here.

Now back up your statement please. Why not tell me at what point you think people should not discuss their window cleaning business on this window cleaning forum anymore? Seems a single operator can talk all they like without it being bragging or not showing humility. So is it 3 vans and suddenly its offensive? Maybe it's 5???

nice thread to read again lee glad to see you doing well still

with 10-11 vans on the road how many headaches do you get complaints etc, gates, wrong houses cleaned, people saying they paid and haven't etc

i think i need to pop and see you for 3 hours!!

We really dont get many problems at all because I have systems in place for those things.

We now have 86% of our customers on gocardless, it will be 100% over the next 12 months. We probably get 2 or 3 re cleans a week out of 600 cleans. A wrong house was cleaned last week but was the first one of those in months. Gates - every customer gets a text alert the night before, If its still locked the cleaner can use a ladder to go over or just do the front only, (we do reduce the price for this but are considering changing that down the line).

Day to day there is always something to deal with, thats why I employ 2 full time office staff, which leaves me totally free to deal with our equipment and vans, marketing, plans for growth ect. I do not run the day to day operation of the business anymore. lol Im sat at home in my dressing gown right now!

Hmmmmm... That's not what your online reviews suggest?

I’ll let you into a secret. It’s most definitely NOT a different playing field.

The only barrier to charging a nice high price is the one in your mind.

ALSO (not to you miko) people who quote the entire thread in their reply need to stop!

What a mindless comment.

Let's put your mindless comment into some perspective/context.

So we have 4621 customers (how many do you have) and we do around 35,000 cleans a year.

Now let that sink into your head for a moment and you then may realise that 10 or so negative reviews which came from messers (which we all have) are totally meaningless in the big scheme. Which is exactly why your comment was mindless. All you have done there is scan through looking for something to be MODDED about.

Humility is an attitud, you either got it or u aint. i dont think my first post disagres with what you sayin matters anyway does it. or does it far as you concerned

Sorry your English is so bad I'm having trouble understanding what your saying?

I think it's safe to say you don't know me at all, so how would you know?

Might be better to introduce yourself to the forum by saying hello and telling us a bit about yourself. Where your from, how long you have been going ect.

Nobody needs a translator to read what I'm saying. I said in 2 recent threads that I don't have the best spelling but MODDED me some people here literally can't string a sentence. Frankly it's shocking!

MOD NOTE: No more swearing please. This and previous posts modded.

Well done with the figures.
I think you've done a great job in building your business and I admire the fact that you have put your 'balls on the table' to achieve it.
Having spoken to you, I think you're motivated and have a lot to offer; anyone spending time with you will certainly benefit from your experience and knowledge. I actually think it's 'good value for money'.
However, in this particular instance, I don't think you have conducted yourself in a professional manner and that is a shame.

The trouble with some of you guys is you believe your own BS, you could have confidence coming out of your ears and do everything right but at the end of the day the customer will only pay what they need to pay.

Same can be said about northern house prices and that you have it easy.200k dosn't even buy you a decent  flat in most parts of the south east so it's understandable people need to charge and earn more.


As for Lee's post I like them and admire his honesty and determination to succeed.

Good grief.

Its a heated one on here tonight.

Lee dont let them get to you. Look, we all need to take a step back here ok.

1st things 1st. You have to hand it to him, he has pushed himself and his business through to a stage we could all only dream off.

He sold his house to invest in his own business abilities. That shows conviction and a confidence in himself which i admire..really i do.

Its starting to pay off for him and i think its absolutely marvellous. His posts have made me realise what the big picture can be in business if you really focus yourself and maximise your opportunities. Thank you Lee.

However Lee. You need to be careful now.

If i was you i would just stop posting threads mentioning money period..., or how much you are making. You are a Ltd company we can download your balance sheet at the end if the year anyway if we wanted to.

I say this becouse your posts are indexed on google and you are at risk of your customers finding conversations like this and it could backfire on you.

You should focus any posts on business related matters, customers signed up, expansion etc. As i for one am greatly interested in your progress and will continue to be so.

Please can you try to understand that you are running the risk of alienating yourself and i would hate to see that happen, i really would.

Best wishes

Which is fine.. but you need to be able to take people winding you up too, but you're struggling with that judging by this thread.

The mods have changed my swearing.

Why don't you mod the small group of morons who only ever attack other members with nothing but negativity and personal insults. Why can't you see that those people put off many others. Absolutely every time I speak to people from here on the phone the point of idiots on here comes up. I know several people that won't get involved here anymore because of it.

Is all you moderate bad language!

MODDED Now moderate me! 

It's about time this forum put a stop to a small minority acting in a way that drives many others away which ultimately leads to a worse forum.

I volunteer myself as a new moderator to deal with things other than swearing or moving/locking topics, which is all I see moderators do!!!
