Right I'm not a WUM. I have asked for genuine help (see my first post). Is the site that I posted a good place to start, is there anything else I need to be thinking about? I am planning on starting small scale and then seeing how it goes from there.

I thought this was the place to ask old hands for help, obviously not. Can anyone point me in the direction of a proper forum where people are willing to offer me some real help and advice.

I am absolutely fuming with you guys who have accused me of being a WUM right now. To those who have offered me advice then thanks I appreciate it.

Yes it is you obviously missed my 1st post, that site is a good one to start and don't forget this is a public forum, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

There are no "regular" customers left now. Since about a week ago anyway and i`m not sure if anybody has quit since.

John, not sure why you've had a conversation with yourself, but if you want to WUM please do it on someone else's thread. I'm here for genuine help.

Thanks to all have been of assistance thus far.

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

have you thought about opening a different business to window cleaning. like bouncy castle hire perhaps?  ;D

Not sure why you would ask that, when I have clearly stated that I used to hire out castles. I'm not here talk about Castles anyhow, I'd like to get into WC as per the first post in this thread. Cheers

yeah. good luck with your wind up.  ;)

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good guide to get started on a small PT basis? I have never done proffessional WC before so would like to know the full process. i.e. do you guys treat the water, do you do windows that have lower level roofs that you would need to stand on etc. A complete beginners guide would be great.
 

You are asking for an awful lot and being rude to the people who will give you the answers.

If you want to know the FULL process you cant expect an answer on day 1 of posting.
It would show good will if you could do your research and THEN start asking questions to see if you have it right.

If you really want to get into the business you would do well to spend the day with someone outside of the area you intend to work pick their brains and ask all the questions you can.

This would be the fastest method as even on here we dont all do things the same.

I would suggest you pay for this advice. I'm availiable for £300 for the day.

Maybe it's not a wind up, if genuine then I thinks its a fair rate to know the ins and outs of the business.

Helped a guy from Stoke 18 months ago and he's doing great now, the info is worth much more than £300.

If they are a mate then I don't charge!  ;D
