should we be licensed? like Scotland.
In England, it is relatively easy to get into this business......
in fact its getting to be quite a common statement for people about to lose jobs , or thinking of having a change... " I WILL GO WINDOW CLEANING IF I HAVE TO"
I , Personally worked my way out of a sales job, into window cleaning, via pressure washing at weekends, until i had enough work to make the transition into window cleaning....and i know i am lucky to be able to have done this, but it has cost me a lot of money pro-rata.
I think it is too easy to get into, but very hard to maintain, and stick at it...
Thats why, there are the fly by nights... and summer brigade and dole boys..... making it hard for the rest ......to put a decent price in... and change the public image of the real window cleaners who are trying to make a business or a living out of it
Because, these dossers want beer money... ONLY.
And when the cold weather comes, they run and hide... because they are shirkers and do not know what work is....
and dont know how to speak to decent people... and they are scruffy and that continues to give window cleaning a bad name.
and when they get a few customers too many..... they run and hide again !......
because they dont know how to cope... because its starting to turn into a JOB!!!.... So off they go again.
Until the beer money runs out. ...its a shame really.
A Blatant shame.
