been doing this house for a while now, took over from another wfp'er. she didt like it when he did it, but she decided to have me, done them probably about 5 times. it is really hard to do, i dont know why but for some reason it always leaves marks, nor matter how much you scrub or rinse. anyway, what i do she seemed happy with which i thought was great

so did it again thursday, and again it was a boiling hot day, dont think ive ever done it in the hot lol, and she rang this morning.

"hi its bla bla"
"oh yes"
"you did my windows the other day but theyve gone all streaky"
"oh right all of them?"
"no just a few, i knew this system was rubbish anyway so what do you expect"
so hit me hard there, i was like hmm thanks for that comment
"oh right, ive got hundreads of customers and theyre all really happy with it"
"mmmm not what ive heard. like i say it doesnt work but you dont use ladders so what can you do"

i dont invest the money that i have spent lightly! ill be going back, doing affected windows and will be telling them that i dont think its suits them.

fair enough some windows just dont take to wfp, but dont tell me its rubbish and doesnt work!!!!!!

Phone call while i'm sitting in the swimming baths watching sons lesson.
"hello do you come out to suchandsuch"
"ere, yeah" It's a bit of drive but i usually manage to work things in.
"well i own a nurseing home and I want you to clean it."
"Great what's the address"
Tells me. I think it's my birthday.
"hang on you don't use one of them pipe things or do you do it the normal way?"
"Pipe thing, it's called a water fed pole."
"No sorry i've got sash georgian and this doesn't work sorry to have bothered you I need a cleaner who does it the other way. Bye."

When I had time to think i phoned back to say i'd trial it for free, but got a fax machine. (i do a few sash georgian no probs).
Curses.

LWC i have been reading your various posts these last few days and you seem to be getting a lot of complaints,it`s either your customers don`t like the fact that you have a new van or your still using fan jets.

[LWC]

2 complaints lol

[NWH]

If i rack my brain i can think of a lot more than that over a period of a few months or so.

[LWC]

and who wouldnt like my van!

and and and ive only used fan jets on one house

as i said the one the other day was my error rushing in the heat, and this one is always a pain

i cant

[NWH]

It`s not that they don`t like your van it`s probobly the fact that they like it to much ie there jealous and think your doing to well for there liking,it can happen you get a new van all of a sudden they don`t want it done so often and out of the blue your doing a shoddy job in there eyes because your there less than half the time.

[LWC]

do you really think that mate?

(that comes across wrong, im geniunly asking)

[cat9921]

Mat

I know that you are a ladderless WC.. But did you not carry ladders for jobs like this  :

I hate using them   But some jobs need ladders.. This job sounds like a pain. But if the job is a good payer that needs ladders then Why not  

BTW

I can see that you put the tank inside this new van and not on the roof as the last one  

AND I LOVE YOUR VAN   ( swop yah )

[NWH]

I`m being honest with you,i`ll bet most of the complaints you get now are down to the green eyed monster.Your doing well you`ve got a new van etc got plenty of work, some people can smell it when your doing well and some people don`t like it.It`s a sad fact of life and this country especially is full of them.

People on this site are horrid to me, makes you wonder

Saying that i got done the other day. Green finger(legal term but you know who i mean) delivering leaflets said he was sales director for group franchise while I was working.
Asking me am i a franchise, how much do I charge for the house, how many can I do in a day? ans £10 ,true, and about thirteen,not true.
So then I ask him.Four vans one operator per van thirty calls a day and £500 each expected. Ulp ! Gutted.

Don't believe them, its all lies to suck in the gullable. These people are vultures, they prey on the vunerable.
With all the people getting thrown out of work in the financial sector at the moment there will be lots of mugs for them to rob.

no i dont carry ladders anymore,(i ave access to some if i need to) i havent cleaned a window off a ladder now for about 2 years, bar some high insides, and the odd builders clean, if the windows are really that bad ill offer to do downs trad, but if you start doing the odd ups for people then there be others saying "well he does theres off a ladder, why cant you do mine off a ladder"

im not against ladders, id still use em if i had to, but ive invested alot of money now so its against my religion to use them lol
