It really amazes me the amount of people who come on here just to slag off some other window cleaner who charges less than they do ::)

So the guy charges £6. His customers are obviously happy. He's obviously happy. Perhaps he doesn't ned to earn any more than he is. Who's to say he's wrong and you're right ??? ??? ???

Do you reckon the boss of M&S pops on to the Supermarket forum site to slag off Asda for selling a dozen eggs for just 70p when they do them for £2.99.

You really need to take a good look at yourself mate and stop your whining :'(

errr wow so much pent up agression there ....  easy tiger  :D never been flamed on here before ... sorry if i came across all whining and that ..... like i said its was a more tounge in cheek post  ;) ... didnt slag him off i actually praised his business acumen ... ok as suggested ive took a look at myself and no im defo not whining just commeting on his undercharging as others have agreed with ... suggest you chill out and take a good look at yourself ... btw that was also tounge in cheek as well  ;D

Agreed, mscontractcleaner was over the top, flaming of this nature is not acceptable, the thread is light-hearted in nature.


As to the topic... Just watch him and smile to yourself, he may well be happy and content to charge as he does, and at that price most of his customers are probably happy to accept a possibly low standard of work....but he is still a muppet for undervaluing himself so much!

There is a guy by us who's happy to work all hours, Saturdays and Sundays included, miles cheaper than me (even cheaper than Squeaky!) I just shake my head and continue to charge half as much again as he does....and I've still got so much work I'm really struggling to get around on time....

Mmmm...maybe if I worked Saturday and Sunday....

how did you get on with owen? i know of a lad who does all the big houses in formby southport, he went along and priced up a house/mansion and priced it at £300, the fella (wouldnt say who it was) was made up as the other cleaner was charging £600, it only took him 2 hours to do

why do this, how would you feel if you did a custy house and they did this too you

i dont get this business, people come on here looking for advice and at the start they get it, then after a while some one moans about some one being cheaper and its the worst crime ever,  if he can work for that they n that is up to him,   

my bro in law has to earn 3 grand a month to just pay the bills, i have to earn a grand,  does that make me a dole scum, or should i be laughed at just becasue i dont have to earn as much as him

I would say leave the guy to it, your clearly annoyed because he dumped you :P

I would not want to clean all my neibours windows and defo not for £6 each.

Maybe next time he comes round ask if you can prearrange to leave the money for him, he may take you back if you ask nicely  ;D :-*
