I think the whole 30k thing is well within reach. However, i DO think that Mr DeMarco's posts reek of something i last smelt when i worked in a care home...

First off, happy birthday to me.

Where are you based?

How long have you been running?

What's your company name?

Would you be willing for me to tag along for a day or two?

Thanks

60 houses a day and you pay them what £55 a day.  They must feel chuffed to bits that each house earns them less than a quid. 
Any jobs going fAgin

This thread is all a bit of a laugh but if the taxman is reading this he's gonna get the impression that all w/cs earn £75k + a year and start wondering if other w/cs are being kosher when they put in their £25k tax return.

I have no doubt that some rounds have been built well and groomed over a number of years to produce very good yields but perhaps some of the number presented here are very 'wishful' thinking.

I personally see no reason why resonable well paid domestic work cannot yield 25-30 quid per 5 or 6 hours a day, 5 days a week but and here is the but....can this be built quickly from scratch?....I do not believe so...like a farmer, we have to tend our patches, weed, constantly watch, sow, weed, harvest, weed....and protect our investments from various parasites....(beer money brigade :-)

Some numbers here seem woefully low and then again some to be pure fiction...there has to be a middle ground here somewhere and reading between the lines is where we'll all find it.

Of course the taxman wouldn't think that because of one person.

He's more likely to think window cleaners are full of wind.

Yeah but it's not just the one person....

Ridicule all you want, but i know who is laughing all the way to the bank,

[Ian_Giles]

Well, I'm intrigued by all this. That's one hell of an income.
I too would like a day out with you to see how it's done. With most of my work in Llandudno, I'm only 25 miles away.
I will come on here and give a totally honest appraisal of your efforts.
Are you up for that? Dai

Dai has been on here for ages, we know he is the real deal, lets hope JD will let him go along with him for a day.
99% don't believe half of what JD says, this would be the perfect opportunity for him to shut us up and make us all eat humble pie 
If the figures pan out out, and his prices are not extortionate then as said, we could all learn a lot from him.

There are days when I work long hours for a window cleaner, I can be out for 6am and not finish until 5pm, yesterday (Thursday) was a case in point, but I did have an hour and a half off at lunchtime - a timing thing - and my turn over was £321. But to achieve that there were 2 accounts totaling £170 that were done in an hour and a half. And this particular day only comes around once a month.
Was all commercial work (shops, so a lot of time also spent collecting)
I am well aware that very good figures can be achieved.
And figures in access of £200 per day on domestic work are also more than achievable....but it takes years to build up a round of that quality, particularly if you are doing those figures day in and day out.

But for two guys on their first day working together to achieve £500+ takes some believing.

So come on JD, take up Dai's offer and let him tag along....

Let's see if Dave is right...

You seem to have found it the way I have Ian.  I can top £300 on my best day which comes around once every 6 weeks.  I do a number of £200ers as well.  I could do the high 100s and a few more 200 if I had a fuller workload but there are still many days where I'm below £100.  If I compressed all the work together I doubt I would ever take less than £150 in a day (except for left over work on the last day of the compressed work).  However, to compress the work it would mean delaying some of it a week or two and I don't want to do that.  I prefer to do some half days and do some leafletting in the afternoons instead.
Now the daylight is a bit shorter and some morning freeze-ups, I may have to start splitting the £300er anyway.
There's no way I could have achieved those sort of figures in the first few months though.  Also, I could not really get past £200 when I worked trad.  It sounds like I'm earning loads.  I'm not.  The shorter and the zero days are still littering my round but I'm gradually starting to fill them more and more.

JD's posts are designed to cause arguments just go back through them. In one post he's turning over £104k in another it's about £65k the guy forgets himself and is either still at school or not even a windowcleaner. He's sitting back laughing his socks off genuine or not.

I am laughing my socke off but just at your comments. It might sound like im contradicting myself but im not the 104k was including 2k of work that i was buying that i didnt get. You just have to read them properly. Dai if you want to come along with me for a day your more than welcome. I know a lad that cleans in llandudno for a window cleaner his name is Ashley Girdlestone. Do you know him? You do realise though that if you come along with me what you learn from me will be priceless. But at the same time alot of your earning potential is down to you as an individual, I can give you my knowledge but i cant change the way you work and that might be the reason i can earn so much. Over to you mate!

[bluez]

I am enjoying this post it's better than Easdtenders, your ball Dai

[Davew]

"Calm down guys!
Honestly i earn 550 pounds on average, myself and another lad and he gets 50 pounds a day. On my own im hitting between 350 to 400 pounds a day. my business turns over 8000 pounds a month. A year working 4 weekly i turnover 104,000 pounds and i can achieve this weather permitting in 3 1/2 days and i also have a trick up my sleeve to fill up the spare days with the same customers and increase my annual turnover by thousands and its not by increasing the price or any extras like facia cleans or con roofs or even selling my body.... so simple if you can get away with it and where i live you can. Doesnt bother me if no one believes even my brother doesnt and hes a window cleaner too."

So what was that post all about? You wrote it remember?

[East coast window cleaning Services]

Lol if your earning that sort of money why or why you canvassing like mad?

And have you heard PAY PEANUTS GET MONKEYS.

Let us know how there getting on in a months time

[supernova77]

JD - Is your brothers name Paul?

[Davew]

"At the moment its 6000 pounds a month. Picked up a few more last week and lost a couple this week so poss just over 6 grand. I didnt get the extra work i was after that went to a chap who used to work with me, wasnt much good then cant imagine hes any better now, another hit and miss. but now have alot more time for canvassing the whole of Anglesey and then into north wales main land"


And this one? I can't make head nor tail of any of this post. So the two thousand pounds worth of work you didn't get would take your earnings from £72k to104k on a four week cycle?
Thats nothing i'm turning over 200k a year with all the work i haven't got too!

The only place JD will end up working flat out (leading by example), working all the hours of the day is 6 feet under in a coffin.
To JD, take some time out from work or reduce your working hours to enjoy more of your one and only life of existence and to share it with someone special.
I'd rather be content knowing I've earn't enough to pay all my bills and put some funds away for an emergency or rainy day and enjoy life whilst I'm still young. You can't take your money with you when you snuff it. Work to live, not live to work
