wow sounds good, its kind of in between police and community eh, so you are a proper copper, but not full on and not a plastic plod (community)

Sort of mate yes,

We arrest naughty people and put them in a room so that they can think about what theyve done

Joining?

i agree trad by miles (customer prospective )
i've done both and after finishing wfp earlier in the year have picked up lots more work
they ask how i do it i say trad they sigh a sigh of relief and i seem to be able to pick up higher prices than when i was wfp
clients happy with the job they pay if their not happy they cancel
since going back trad mostly with a telescopic pole  everyone who i service that i used to do wfp has paid me more and said that they were on the verge of cancelling if i continued wfp they are now all happy so everybody wins
in my opinion no amount of marketing literature how ever good can change the clients mind
they like and will pay for trad everyday because they understand the method even if we know wfp can and will eventually do the job faster and safer it has its own drawbacks but thats for another day and topic

[Dean Taberner]

You obviously werent doing it right then mate

Only joking,

If that suits your business and it pays you then keep taking the money.

Also join the police and help to rid the sreets of scum whilst you are out there

This is my view only but Council estate custies seem to be a lot more wary of WFP and would rather see you go up a ladder for their hard earned fiver or so, whereas people from more upmarket estates prefer the more upto date technology because `My friends window cleaner uses pure water, why dont you?`(yes the custie really did say that!)and they will pay accordingly for the service so who am I to judge- Customer is king after all

Well! What happen! No fireworks! You all gone soft  :

This should get things going nicely!

I think it’s time that ladders was banned for window cleaning! if it can’t be done from the ground then it don’t get down!

Why use a out of date tool that KILLS yes KILLS many window cleaners each year!!!! its time we got theses Ladder Monkey out of are industry for good there giving us a bad name! Pop crackle pop fizzle whoosh!!!!!!! I think that should do it

Fiver? Thats the problem not trad v WFP. My council houses are £12. Mind you, they arent owned by the council anymore. The ones that are still owned by the council are full of assylum seekers and the unwashed.

You do get this "my window cleaner does the windows the new way" snobbery and I have customers phone up and ask to make sure before they get me to come round and give them a quote

[trevor perry]

yet another daft topic, i use both, wfp suits most my work but for certain jobs only a ladder will get good results and how do you wfp only men get on with high internal windows with deep sills as i have tried all sorts of poles and adapters but find the ladder best.

Perry...one of theses and commercial customer pays, most if not all commercial site around here, ladders are banned anyway
