So what have you achieved then? Comin on here bragging you’ve achieved more with your business in 7 years than someone can in 14 years , we are all waiting

Like i said im still only a 1 man band but i do know that ive earnt more money working as a 1 man band then i would for anyone else so that is a big achievement to me  ;D i also have other sources of income other than window cleaning  ;) so yes i have my own achievements but im not willing to discuss them on a sheety public forum  ;D ;)

Not with rock bottom prices you wont be able to.

Mr Slacker if u look at my previous comments it does say i am not the cheapest in my local area and i am also not the most expensive either...i sit in the middle at just the average mark, i have a lot of window cleaners in my area offering cheaper prices then myself so i cant be that rock bottom?  ;D ;D I  have certain  targets and i will continue to hit them week in and week out as i have been for the past 12 months  :) so dont tell me what i will be able to do and what i cant  ;D ;D

IMO this is where to be...not too cheap but not mega expensive either...fair is the word im looking for! ;D
price higher/work harder!

I dunno if it will happen as soon as 10 years, but its only a matter of time before there's AI robots doing our jobs and most others too.. maybe a trolley with a built in extending pole or some such thing

I wouldn’t worry about it in our life times though by the time you can go on the web and just get someone to pop round tomorrow for a one off most of us won’t be here anymore,there’s no way in the world the kind of customers I service would use this method not in a million years.

But we could pick up loads of work doing the robots' windows.
After a hard days graft on the glass, most robots will just want to unplug, put their feet up and watch Metal Mickey.

I don't think a robot would stick it, lol, let be honest here this is a hateful job that only us special people can do long term, customers know this which is why when they do get a half decent shiner that lasts they tend to hang on to them, this wont change in ten or even twenty years.

Robots, not gonna happen as far as domestic is concerned.

Way too expensive.

We’ll all be fine for years and years to come.

Window cleaning is no where near a big enough market for robots.

It’s so cheap to use human power anyway, there is no real incentive for robots.

Even with commercial, you’d still need a water source, a lot of technology to get the robot to move around and actually clean a window properly. Let alone over three story work. It just wouldn’t happen. Far to dangerous, a bit of wind and the pole would be all Over the place.

I think we forget that window cleaning is a very small, trivial industry. The cost to businesses to use a human window cleaner is minuscule, there really is no point in robots taking over. No ones gonna spend countless millions on R&D, design and manufacturing some little robot with a pole driving round people’s house, opening gates, stepping over objects, cleaning a window properly etc etc.

WFP will evolve, but humans will be the users, not robots.

i will love it when robots can do the work.

much easier to manage.

lets say a WC costs £25000 a year... so if a drone type robot cost anything around £100 000 and did a good enough job, could work 7 days a week... didn't require a van...

i'll be getting a couple
