so much wfp snobbery on here as usual! ladders car van "high vis" always makes me laugh on domestics, its all just cleaning windows whatever method you choose. Don't get me wrong i have the van the wf the uniform but i have a mate has estate  car laders scrufbag still does over £200  a day because he grafts unlike me who hates to clean windows for more than 6 hours 3 days a week max, now am i better than him? in some ways yes and some no but its only "cleaning windows" any dippoop can do it and wfp is creating even more. Lately i have seen tons of new shiny vans and some of the work is diabolical. Big shiny van does not mean you are better just like driving a merc instead of a mini.
there is a post about facebook on here today and most of the crap spouted on here would be better of on there, this forum is getting like eastenders, miss it for months and when you watch again its the same poop.
window cleaning is just windowcleaning       simple
forum for help,advise, suppor,t problem solving,  not we are better than you cos we got shiny toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!                                                                                                                                                                                               


I totally agree, i started to look on this forum for tips and advice but because i'm trad i'm looked down upon by the WFPers, its ridiculous. After a long layoff from the building trade and speaking to a local window cleaner, i decided i was going to start window cleaning. I didn't have money spare to buy a van or the basic WFP kit (not that i considered using that method anyway) just used my ladders i already had and brought a squeegee and a mop from screwfix, printed off some basic flyers off my computer and away i went, 5 months on and i'm picking up customers daily, never had a complaint and adding to/upgrading my equipment as i go. I love the WFPers cause if it wasn't for you guys i wouldn't have picked up half my customers. As long as you do a good job whether you use WFP, trad or newspaper and vinegar, WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!! If there are so many of these cowboys about, why worry, they won't last long if they do a bad job!

i always thought a cowboy was somebody who does a crap job
all the other guff is irrelevant.

i wish i could be a seasonal cleaner 9 months of year would suit me fine
saying that isnt it that what most do on here anyway bit of snow and rain
everything stops.

licenses for window cleaner as others have said what a waste of time
and money,no license has ever stopped anyone from cheating if so inclined

but if you want encourage another worthless taxation and squeeze even
more pennies out of the basically honest amongst us, a round of applause
to all involved :

talking of being a seasonal cleaner a fair few of us were this year

does that make us all cowboys ? ? ? ?
