 Hi i started in feb this year after getting made redundant  im 38 but was a wc then i left school
Not being funny but im you want to start window cleaning trad/wfp you have to do your home work ,read up on the subject  watch videos .If you are going to start a buisness you have got to now whats involved that means what equipment to buy ,if you dont know that how the dam you gonna use it .
Sorry to be blunt but theres people out there jumping in the deep end ,dont know what there doing and giving wfp a bad name .

If you had where you are from in your profile someone in your area may take you out with them for a day to show you how its done .
Some of the other forums have a section where people who are willing to take  out new starters posts there details and you can contact them.
Even this forum has one
