Hi Marc

Where are you based and do you have a company name ?

This is not a set up, I can assure you.  I am even prepared to give you my IP address at work and the one I am using now at home.  As I previously said, we advertise on here, across the whole window cleaning section and on the general cleaning boards and it costs quite a bit so we have no need to set up threads as you assume.

We don't think window cleaners are fools, we deal with over 2,000 of them and we know they aren't but I wish we could just prove this is not a set up.

You should all have an all risks insurance(like carpet cleaners have), not cheap but performs if something happens PL only cover items not worked on and people etc, when people tell me their paying 50-100 per year for 5000,000 i know their in trouble when something goes wrong, my insurance this year was 3000.00+ all risks with all the aspects of work itemised.

Hi Dave,

I'm based in South West Wales in a town called Pembroke. I use "A-Star Clean" in advertising and appear in the pages. Feel free to call if you need to clear up any ambiguity.

All the glass on even a massive house is not going to come to anything like £20K. A replacement sealed unit costs average £40 (if that) trade and about £100 fitted. Less if several units are being fitted.

First of all get to grips with the figures that are being quoted. Secondly if any insurance is worse than public liability insurance for backing out of things I don't know what it is. However, don't automatically assume that a first refusal is not just a tactic.

Thirdly, builders cleans are dangerous for this reason but point out you were called in because the builders had been negligent and got cement all over the glass so the damage had already been done before you got there.

No need I thought it would help, to show that you were a genuine person.

Please dont be offended by the posts, its just that some suppliers have used every trick in the book, and some of our members are a bit wary of first time posters, especially when they are answered by a first time poster with the right answers.

I for one think you are genuine, I can call you though if you think it will help.
