With the boredom of lockdown Iv actually went back up to around 30 or so hours a week on the glass, my system is fully automatic, at the end of the working day I just connect the hose and electrics and disconnect them in the morning, (full tank of pure and battery fully charged ready to go)  my wife does all the admin.

I’m usually done by 2 these days. Too many other hobbies to entertain me to keep me at work for too long.

Probably 20 to 25 hours cleaning. Few hours of admin.

Work Mon to Thurs

Honestly can't stomach any more than that I find it a slog as it is.

Probably average around 6 hours a day cleaning so 30 hours a week. Then about 2 hours a week quoting/invoicing/maintenance  etc.  That’s about the sweet spot for me at the moment.

8-12 usually, sometimes till 2pm.

Don’t mind admitting I get tired by that point. Strangely seem to have a lot of energy after work for the Gym/Golf though  ;D

I find that about the tiredness. As soon as I step through the door at home I’ve got a second wind.

I’d seriously take a long hard look at your lifestyle and diet if you are not even 40 yet and are getting tired after only 4 hours wfp window cleaning. That really shouldn’t be happening.

I would guess at least 3 hrs a week doing stuff that isn't isn't actually window cleaning. It was more pre pandemic but now have much less collecting to do as many custys have moved over to on line payment. Still have a lot who want to pay cash though.

i think for a few of u it’s just go out and earn your money, refine we’re u can and aim to work as little hours for a set amount that your happy with…… nothing wrong with that.
I work more than 40 hours a week on the glass/jet washing, always looking to expand tho and looking for the right person to add to the team.
For me it’s about building it up so when we take next person on there is enough work for him to go right Into.
I can’t do admin it’s soul destroying so employ some one to do it for me

It’s was more sarcasm than anything mate, don’t take it seriously, hence the ‘strangely I have energy for gym/golf’ etc.

Having said that, i do get tired, but it’s more boredom than physical tiredness.

Surely you no longer need to work in the rain?
