i think beacuse wfp cleaning is still quite new for most of the public they still  think in traditional window cleaning mode. if it rains we stop. if its windy we stop. but since the advent of wfp they need to be re-educated we dont stop for any reason other than death or coffee.

those that don,t work in the rain are either always behind with there work or they have small rounds and are therefore only part time window cleaners lol regards to all you partimers i prefer to count my money rather than watch jeremy kyle

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

I clean in mild to moderate rain, never in really heavy rain. its not worth getting colds and chills as this will affect your work later on.
I tell my custy's that theres no difference to cleaning in the rain or cleaning then it rains after.
the custys pay for their windows to be cleaned dont they? and the windows are clean when I leave.
I tell my custys if they are not satisfied with the clean then I will call back and re-clean the problem windows.

I'm not allways behind, and 'cos I dont work in the rain I have got a full round, of happy customers.

 I can allways catch up by doubling up work if I have to.

A window cleaner cleaning in the pouring rain is a desperate man in serious need of a few quid,clean finish that job and wait for it to stop but to turn up and start when it`s raining hard is taking the mickey in not just my opinion.I`ve said before you shouldn`t need to do it in the rain you should have either done enough when it`s fine or get off your lazy A*** when the suns out,has anyone heard the saying make hay while the sun shines.My oldman used to say things to me like that whilst at work window cleaning and i used to think he was mad but as someone once said with age comes wisdom,it`s no good trying to convince yourself that customers like it they more than likely would feel sorry for you.

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

If you take into account how many days it rains in the UK you wouldn't work for 4 months of the year.
Anyway I thought we were all professional window cleaners! aren't we?
being a professional window cleaner means you TURN UP on time! not when its dry!

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Stan what would you do if you went out cleaning shortly after it stops raining and its still dark skies above and the customer tells you "not today"?

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Stan what I meant was if you added all the days in the year that you couldnt work due to rain it would be close to 4 months over the course of a year.

Last summer I lost 5 weeks alone due to rain. the summer before that was about the same.

desperate LMFAO!

depends on your set up. if i was a one man band i could probably only work in good weather. When you employ you have overheads to pay its called the rough with the smooth, the guys don't moan when they finish at 2.30pm on a sunny afternoon so to be out in rainy weather is part and parcel. no customer complains unless we haven't done our job properly. thats not down to the weather normally new custies one way or another

I don't work on an hours per day basis. I normally work on a set number of jobs per day = x amount of £'s.

 I set a well achievable number of jobs, that can be increased to make up for any lost time over the week if needs be, without too much stress.

I bet I have the same amount of money counted as you do at the end of the month,{ well that's dependant on the value of your round} but I'm not soaked and I havent P'd off all of my customers.  ie,full round completed on time.

[Londoner]

I've heard all this debate before but I have yet to find a customer who thinks its great that you cleaned their windows in the rain.

If you price your work properly you allow for the odd rainy day. To say I have to work come rain or shine sounds to me like your work is underpriced.

[Steve CM]

sounds to me like your work is underpriced.

it just gets better on here don't it?

[Lakes and Pennine]

i never work in the rain ,nothing to do with the customer,i dont like it

A couple of years ago Stan I was going up Burnley road east and 2 guys were doing the windows of those new houses near where Lamberts used to be in Whitwell Bottom. It was sheeting it down sideways. When you said that you had work in that area I thought it was you....Obvously not

I have 2 staff in a different area of the business but i have had 2 window cleaners with me in the past and i never worked in the heavy rain,my jobs a good enough to make up for it later on in the week.You should have enough coming in money wise daily to keep you going and then some.

[Steve CM]

lost time = lost money. i do this to make money, not to watch the world go by when a little rain is in the air or heavy rain at that
