Title: Buying a small round in a few weeks ...
Post by: 4S Cleaning on June 17, 2012, 05:59:42 pm

£211 a month take in, I have the option of buying  £1000 per month run in september if the small run goes ok & I can get my wife onside so I can go it alone & pack my 9-5 in .

I am also going to be doing window & door repairs as I have worked in double glazing for the last 25 years, I was wondering if the members on here get asked about window repairs during the course of there runs ?

cheers stevie

no never get asked to fix windows / doors .... see plenty of clouded glass so give cards to customer from local panel replacement company.

I am buying it off my cousin who will be helping me out for a few runs, so hopefully I might not loose too many, as he has been the cleaner for 16 yrs .

I've bought 3 rounds in the last 18 months hardly lost any and you always gain a few anyway. I see loads of windows that need repairing, think it would be a really good service to offer. Make sure you emphasise the fact that your a pro at the window repair game, some people think all window cleaners are thick.  ;D

Thanks for that DG, it's a massive step for me & my family as I have always been an employee  :-\ but with hard graft I hope it will succeed  ;D
