Daz, does not travelling time come into the equation, £80 an hour is very nice but if your in the van 30minutes getting there then another 30 mins getting to your next job,its down to £40 an hour straight away,  :-\
You cant use the same criteria for a next door job and a country side one!!

343 jobs i have on my books at the moment.....this is a part time round,i also have different frequencies( 4 weekly,6 weekly,8 weekly,12 weekly and one job i clean twice a year).....its not a full 40 hour a week round mate.....

cleaner planner says  49k a year but i dont earn that much as i have at least 4 weeks off so knock at least 4k off.....

what makes me so efficient is all the below factors....

1.lots of work concentrated in one area (built up over many years)
2.im very organised in regards to work schedules(cp helps with this)
3.hot water and a high flow
4.electric reel
5.electronic payments(drastically reduced collecting)
6.short working days so i can condense my energy into a few hours work
7.i know my work so well(best place to park,problem windows,etc)

so my 25-30 hour working week INCLUDES admin,purifying water,putting batteries on charge,chasing debts,etc...

You not been laid in a while or something Daz?
What’s with the “look at me” post...?

(Cue the “I get laid 5 times a day mate” post. I suspect something is missing from your life...)

to show some window cleaners whats possible....to inspire them.....some dont believe its possible to work short hours and earn half decent money......(in fact i would have been one of them 10 years ago).......i had a terrible underpriced trad round back then,just about getting by financially too......
