Hi,

New wannabe w/c.  Had enough of managing people and office politics,  so here i am!!

Im gradually building up my round (Traditional) via the usual means (canvassing etc),  but I have this feeling in the back of my mind that this is potentially a territorial line of work.

Is this so,  and how best to avoid upsetting the existing local WCs?

Should I fear someone grabbing me ladders and giving them a shake when im up them??

Any help much appreciated,  and,  if any WCs in the sutton/belmont, cheam/worcester park area of Surrey wants a day or twos labour in exchange for some hints and tips than contact me.

PS I am lucky enough to have a head start with ladder work,  im ex BSkyB and HSE trained in working at heights.

Cheers,  and i look forward to any help whatsoever.

i wouldnt worry so much about it.As long as you are not going round houses trying to undercut,then what is the problem.Never ask how much peoples current window cleaner charges.I recently knocked an area,and picked up £120 in one evening where a window cleaner basically walked away from his customers.Now if he was sensible,he could of sold that work,or atleast had the decency to tell them he wasnt going to do it anymore.Why should i be bothered about someone like that?I must stress that they hadnt seen him for about 6 months.If people say they have a window cleaner,then to me thats a no go,and i just walk away.Its a case of having morals.

Don't deliberately undercut your competition or bad mouth their work and the world is your oyster, well so to speak.

Best of luck,
