  I`m up North, do 4 weeks and charge a pittance. 
 I don`t have a problem with Asians though but don`t do many.
  It would be nice to earn more but I know my place  ;)

Most of my domestic customers are 4 weekly while some are 6 weekly and the odd one or two are 8 weekly because of the size and my charges.

As for any customers who say I will see you in the spring at winter time, well they will be waiting for longer than they thought, because I consider that as a cancelled job and I never go back to a cancelled job.

What, Never?

I love it when a cancelled customer phones me up in December looking for nice clean windows at christmas. Mostly I just giggle and hang up, occasionally I'll say "no probs dear, that'll be £100 + Vat"

I work my round on a 4 day week even though I clean 6 days a week, 10.30 to 14.00.

What this means is if I wanted I could cover my whole round in 4 days and this would only happen because of the weather of trade show visits.


Working hard or hardly working?

what hours do you work in the winter? I'd imagine whatever you can.

All the daylight ones in December + January 8.30 - 17.00 the rest of the year.

I'm slowly moving mine from monthly to six weekly (though I do do longer frequencies for larger buildings).  I don't think my customers like high charges that come round too frequently; it's better to charge well, do a good job and provide a friendly service, and be less frequent in my opinion.

Generally every four weeks but have moved to every three weeks through the summer.

Would love to get to a stage where I have the same work as this but every four weeks, it is just enough for both me and my customers.

I am 'Northern' and can't see the problem in people wanting their windows cleaned every two weeks, I choose not to as most of my round is spread so would be uneconomical - thats why my customers don't mind me coming round every three weeks.

Its my business and I choose the frequency - only on certain jobs will I justify 6 or 8 weekly. If they don't like it I pass the job on but can safely say this is very rare.

  The pro`s need the likes of me so that they can feel superior.
 Or are they insecure about their own prices? They don`t like their customers hearing how little us idiots charge.

8 weeks is best, you can charge twice as much so earn more, just need extra custies to fill in the gaps though
