Hi

Im thinking of branching out into the Window Cleaning Industry.I already run a Carpet Cleaning Business and want to expand my services.

I live in the Leeds 15 area ( X-gates,Colton,Whitkirk,Temple Newsam).

Im looking for a few days out work experience with a Window Cleaner.

Obviously I dont want to step on anybodys toes,so a Window Cleaner out of this area would be better.

I would work for free!!

Chris.

Must be mad mate. We do both, and I'd rather do more carpet cleaning 

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

why do you want to branch out to windows then thought carpets was a easy earner

[chrisjohn]

The reason I want to try my hand at Window Cleaning is because most people only have carpets cleaned once a year.Pitch that against most people have their windows cleaned once a fortnight.The income is more regular.Im sure most of my work will continue to be cleaning carpets,but using Window Cleaning as gradual earnings could help me achieve a more regular income.At the moment money is great one week,then poor the next.

Cheers

Chris

Not had any that want fort nightly - quoted tonight & the guy wanted 8 weekly, most want 4/6 & some 12 weekly & some just want the gold out your fillings- a lot of competition out there as well.

[geefree]

Yep, no fortightys here too....

our canvassing results have all but stopped lately... no phone calls either... too much competition out there these days  :

you will find it hard in this economic climate to get all 2wkrs

[AC Window Cleaning]

I think the days of 2 weeklys are gone now,yeah you may get them on it for 2/3 cleans then they get fed up of it,especially if theyre not in to pay and you collect a few days before cleaning it.
4 weekly is more affordable for people.

6-8 here in oxfordshire

[steve rix]

Most of the shops and hotels we do are weekly or fortnightly 75 per cent of domestic is monthly the rest bi monthly

[chrisjohn]

Ok,thanks for the advice everyone.Its now clear that the majority of people want windows cleaning every 3/4 weeks.

I still fancy giving it a go,so im still on the look out for a few days work experience with a kind soul.

Cheers Chris.

load of bull been cleaning 2 weekly for past 10 years 

loads round my way still doing 2 weekly aswell,i still get the odd new custys still asking for 2wkly but i cant fit them in on that frequency now

[chrisjohn]

C'mon guys,still waiting for somebody to volunteer to show me the ropes.Once again I live in Leeds 15,so I dont expect anybody from that surrounding area to help.Surely there must be somebody in Bradford,Wakefield,Selby,Huddersfield etc etc who I could work with for a day.

Chris

Ps. Need somebody who uses wfp method
