Kris, it's normally payment on completion all the time; but if they're not in when you clean, then you can leave a SAE with payment instructions.

I think you'll find the weather is the bugger that plays the biggest part in wreaking havoc with our weekly/monthly totals; that and idleness!

not all but some I would say, and from reading back posts some is alot more than I thought  :

Kris,

What you really need to do is find a local window cleaner who'll show you the ropes; how to work safely, use a squeegie etc. 

A lot of lads start up thinking it's easy, then jack it in within a few months when they discover it's not.

I can't help anymore this evening since Wor Lass says I've got to have a bath (I think she's got plans for me (groan)).

Evening all!

My window cleaner doesnt chap the door on completion these days but, If Im in I always take the cash to him. I even think about taking it to his house sometimes as I feel guilty when Im not at home.

I noticed a few months after he started on my street he began to leave the payment untill next time round if he got no answer on first attempt.

I plan to talk to my window cleaner when I see him. hes not been round since the begining of December.

Might also attend training day at bwca.

As for thinking its easy etc, I will only do it part time due to this. I understand it might not be my cup of tea. I would never undervalue any mans trade, I hear it all the time (tilings not hard, paintings not hard, window cleaning is not hard) its people who have got an understanding that have this attitude. If after a while I am still enjoying it and its working out then I would deffo plan on making it full time.

goodnight all, Im off to bed also. Early start tomorrow

when you get started the best thing to do is take almost every job that comes your way, you want to get as much cash as quickly as poss. this way you find what you should charge quicker, and as the book fills you start a list of who you will bin when you get the chance to replace them with a better job.
as for not taking streets where you only get one job, I started a couple of streets and for about 3 months only had the one job, now 12 months ofter that first clean i have 12ish on these streets. if you clean those one per street deals at diferent times people notice them being cleaned, and i believe most people don't realise they want a window cleaner till the see the nieghbour has one

[peter holley]

yes

[kris84]

yes

I did not at any point say that I do not need to learn. learn to read pal!
