I've had two of my custies say to me this week that since my last visit theyve had 3 leaflets offering window cleaning cheaper than me. I did make it clear to them though that its up to them who they employ but stressed that reliability, good service and trust are things to take into consideration when deciding on employing someone.

So, which one are they taking on. ;D;D

what do people expect, wc is cheap to start, cash on the day, and half the time they are signing on, a lot get in this business because they have a wc who charges say £10 for 10 minutes work and the custy thinks i can do that, get made unemployed and starts a wc round, they come on the likes of here and read about £30ph
i love it when newbies start, get to know them as when they jack it in buy thre round of them

do u belive that, there just out for a cheaper price, how many of the so called new cleaners will stop on soon as the real cold weather gets here?? ::) i had someone call me saying did i do window cleaning they saw my leaflet on there floor which i posted and they had another cleaner come round doing the same and hes 3 quid cheaper but i know this is lies coz i chatted to one of there neighbours and he said they never had a window cleaner in there area before and its good to see one but he wished me luck coz most ppl in his area were tight lol

Always get your custy to ask 'em to see a copy of their p/l insurance and if they are coherent enough to ask if they work in line with current H&S guidelines. After all your custy wouldn't want to be sued for allowing some johnny-come-lately on his property and injuring himself when he knows there are safer methods out there, would he?! ;)

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D excellent

I did tell them about a story I read in the paper last week which involved canvassers asking people for their phone numbers for whatever service they were offering including wc's. But they wud then ring custies at random to check if they were in or not. Well some of the ones that were out got burgled. So I'm hoping that this has put their minds at rest by still employing me. ;D

yep those old scare monger tactics seem to work with a lot of the old folk, do you tell them they are just out of prison for murder as well ? :D :D

LOL, only 3 new window cleaners starting up every few months, you’re lucky, must be very remote where you are.
I read its 70-100, each month in England alone
have you ever thought of starting up yourself ? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Has the law changed on this then? It used to be that the injured party could only claim if he was working on a commercial property. Commercial are bound by law to ensure a safe working environment for anyone doing work on their premises.
Domestic customers are not bound by law to do this, so unless the accident was directly down to negligence by the householder, you can't sue them.

u can sue who u like, weather u win or not is a dfferent matter
