Looking at Helen,s comment she is correct, £5 is good if the hous is small. If the person charges accordingly for dirtier, one offs or larger houses, but, i feel this opens the door for the customer to take advantage & push the price low for everything.

I wouldnt do a first clean for £2, would you.

Yes we are based in Cannock, but, most of work is else where, the £2.00 leaflett was Heath Hayes.

We are currently looking for more work ourselves so unable to point you in right direction as we havnt found it either.

£4 for front of 3 bed semi sounds about right, i wouldnt charge any more.

I know about 4 other window cleaners around cannock & spoke to another last week, no spare work going & most areas covered, but theres always some available.


All the best

 Firstly it says £2 for the front not the whole house and as my previous post indicated it would be possible to earn £120 per day gross . lets assume trad methods so expenses would be probably less than 10% so an achievable income of £100 per day would be possible.
  £500 per week is going to seem mighty attractive to somebody made redundant from their job on minimum wage earning £250.

 Secondly why  does everybody assume that these people are benefit cheats and tax dodgers . Of course some are but some are genuine hard working people trying to feed and clothe their families.

 Thirdly , in my opinion it is in business , dangerous to underestimate the competition .

 Fourth, I do not clean a front for £2 or  a house for £5 as i have the luxury of a well established round built over many years of a growing economy .

 Lastly ,If that was what it took to feed my kids and pay my bills i would Clean a front for £2 and a house for £5 , thankfully i dont have too.
