sorry to hear that matt, i haven't got much commercial.

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Matt i work in Andover and i think i know who they are. If its the mob i think it is, they are very very cheap. I have to be careful as the owner posts on here. I have gone for some jobs that they have gone for(out of Andover) and can't get anywhere near them.

Yes he does post on here. Therefore I think we know who tis.

Spill, who is it?

[gewindows]

No.

I wonder if he/they are reading this thread and will be man enough to come on and explain why they are undercutting to that extent.

Your experience matches mine last year, one of my big commercial jobs cut the budget by nearly £700 a month, all you can do is carry on, you will pick up more work.
Had a block of flats I did for £112 monthly. New guy £65 every 6 weeks.

I too have decided to pick up some more residential, as a friend of mine said it spreads the risk a bit.

One of the down sides of open forums like these is that too many people can pick up on too much inside information, whether it be newbies or others who go fishing and pinching off others in the same area.
I'm surprised with this particular job that someone would go so far outside their own area for work. I'm even more surprised that this lot can run so cheap with all the overheads.
Thing to remember and I've warned about this for years and years on here, is that there is no loyalty with commercials. Like I said to Matt on the phone I lost a £8 and a £6 commercial to someone when one of the businesses concerned must be turning over millions because they have large offices in Denmark, Germany and Australia. £6 I was gobsmacked over that.

We know who it is.......Its business leave it at that. It's up to them what they charge we have all lost work whether its commercial or Domestic. Commercial is cut throat i never bank on keeping it for long.

Is this one of the reasons you sold up?

A few reasons really.
(1) We are trying to move so servicing window cleaning 80 miles away was a non starter. (2) I was starting to ache too much after a day of doing it (3) Bored with doing the same exact thing day in day out (3) Wanted to go back to what I enjoy most - carpet/upholstery cleaning (4) Fed up with lack of loyalty from customers who are great to your face but happy to get some cheap and dangerous monkey to do a trash job for half the price.
With hindsight and for those of you who enjoy the job keep doing it because you have regular work and income coming in, month after month. You're lucky to see the same carpet cleaning customer twice in 18 months.
