lets start an honest debate.

What can todays wfp proffesional window cleaner realistically earn per week/day. After all its what most of us get up in the morning for.

let me start 250 pound gross per day for me (before taxes/costs etc) is this about right with the rest of you i do a mixture of commercial and residential 70/30 in favour of residential 40ish hour week.

Thanks in advance for honest views

[NWH]

No thankyou on this topic not anymore it`s been done to many times before,we all know what we and others can earn.

[ally gray]

Mick,

i think you may be missing the point i,m sure many of us would like an idea if we are about right in what we earn compared to others of course you don,t have to put figures down if you don,t want but please dont try and stop others sharing there experiences.

p.s do a proffesional job and cowboys undercutting you willl never be a real issue.

cheers

Another newbie asking about earnings :

[NWH]

If your asking about earnings you have little experience in this game,you`ve tripped yourself up with the question in the first place.Big brother might be watching.

[ally gray]

don,t be shy

after many years in the game i wouldn,t really consider myself a newbie as already stated i,m sure there are many many keen to disscuss this so its not for anyone to stop it surely.

[NWH]

Your profile says your the shy 1.

[ally gray]

NWH,

I,m not shy, just out running my business most of the time not talking on here.

If my question raises issues for people then sorry no offence meant just thought it might be an interesting topic. if people want to get involved they will, if they don't they won't simple as that.

cheers

[NWH]

They won`t.

The way things are at the moment ie rising bills etc,the last thing we should be talking about is how much we earn.Why don`t we just rub are custies noses in it.

When I was married , and the mrs wouldnt get up to make me breakfast I used to take a run up and dive on the water bed , instantly proppeling her 6 feet in the air , and landing on the floor !!!  I cant understand why she left

This is probably nearer most window cleaners true earnings, i speak to loads near me and nobody earns any where near the above poll figures. --------------------------------------------------------------

Window-cleaning costs are also rising as firms give up their ladders in favour of new technology such as extendable poles, which wash the glass by shooting purified water at it from a tank on the ground. The system can cost up to £12,000, on top of which the contractor needs a van to carry the machinery to jobs. In all, that can boost a window cleaner’s hourly rate from £7-£10 an hour to more than £15, according to the Federation of Window Cleaners.
