I totally agree. How many of the £5 dole brigade are still cleaning windows in the winter when it's a struggle with the weather. They don't pay tax, don't have any insurance and are able to undercut our prices during the summer and leave us to struggle on with underpriced work in the winter because of their greed and benefit cheating!

[Paul Coleman]

If you mean turnover rather than wage, I did manage £251 once.  Managed £115 today but I didn't start till 12.
However, as someone else said, you can't go on those figures.  I have had days when I've only earned a tenner - obviously not full days of course.  You know how it is.  You go out there in murky skies, do a house, then it starts chucking it down really hard.  You go home, make a cuppa and a couple of hours later it seems to be clearing so you go out again.  You just get to the next job and it starts chucking it down again.  You get home and decide that you need a rest anyway  so that's it for the day.

hi nice to see some honest replys i had a window cleaning mag through door bout 3 wks ago.it said sole window cleaner should b earning at least 150 trad 200 plus per day wfp  im mostley 80 to 110 good days .were  do these people get thier figures from .is taxman looking at these mags why was nt i told my dole money would b stopped when i went self employed  ha  ha

[Richy L]

it all depends where you live. in some places you could earn up to £100 a day, someplaces e.g. london, you could earn a lot more.
Also it depends whether your work is commercial or domestic. You get much more money working commercial

[markybop]

Managed £468 for an 8-4 day  ................
yeah obviously commercial work..............
and that's 2 of us.........
pity it only comes around every 4weeks...............

[Ian_Giles]

I'm not really prepared to say what my best day has been
But every Monday I now do a minimum of £220.

Other days of the week can vary between £20 and..er... a bit more

Yesterday for instance was £150. And that was £38 commercial and the rest Domestic.
Today it will only be about a ton as I have to finish at lunchtime.
Tomorrow will be good as I'll be making the effort to squeeze as much of Friday's work into it as I can....due to friday being a bank hol of course....well...it could be good, but as a result of having to work in certain Commercial work that would be done on the Friday, it will get in the way (because of location and necessary timing) it will get in the way of my residential stuff, which could well mean that I'll struggle to do much more than a ton.

Once a month I have a really good day, and once overy 8 weeks I have a really good day

But I've also been going 23 years, I'm ENTITLED to be earning decent bloody money at last!
And it is only in the past 3 years that my income has began to grow, and it's only been since Christmas that things have really fallen into place (due to a little re-organising).

For anyone thinking of window cleaning, I would say that it is a reasonable aim to expect to be able to earn an income of about £13-15,000 per year, add on 5k to that for your business costs.
But don't expect to hit £20,000 turnover for a few years! (15k income)
It takes quite a long time to build and consolidate a window cleaning round!!

Excellent post.



Having said that  the most I can remember having earnt in one day is £245.00.

Once  every six weeks I do a job thats £130.00 which only takes an hour and a half. Thats £90.00 an hour and if I did that all the time my weekly would be £1,800.00 WHICH IT AINT.

I aim to do a ton and go home, Fridays a little less, usually pocket-money.

Then theres wet days/holidays I choose to take, bank-holidays which I never took but do now as I'm worth it 

I saw a window-cleaner yesterday running hell for leather up his ladder in an effort to get his quota done. Not sure if it was to try to impress or because he drives his ladder round on a 5 series BMW, which no doubt is a costly vehicle (totally unsuitable for the job, but thats by the by) I understand his roof-rack cost more than my car!!!
