The way i look at it is like this. There is obviously some kind of skill involved as if there was,nt joe public would be cleaning there own windows and we,d all be doing something else.
But personally ithink theres about as much skill in cleaning a window as there is mowing your lawn! but as everyone knows that does it for a living like the majority of us on here do, there is a lot lot more to it than just cleaning windows.
Like organising your round and accounts, gutter cleaning and repairing, conservatory roof cleaning, fascia cleaning and the list goes on, and these are all jobs that most people can do but because of various reasons dont and they use the services of a window cleaner, just like if their car broke they would use a mechanic when alot of the things wrong with their car could be done by themselves.
So i,m going to stick my neck on the line and put us in the catargory of skilled tradesmen.Because after all if it were that easy everybody would be doing it.
