Would you say that WFP thou set uo time is same as trad.

As in you pull up on the drive, and time from then to either brush on the window or mop is the same?

So the time saving is slightly in the window cleaning, but mainly in the switching from one window to another, as it saves down ladder, move ladder and then up ladder mop out.



Although not everyone would say this, I find it can usually take longer to set up for a WFP job.  This might just be me though.  Many of my jobs involve the hose going across the footpath.  I tend to cover with rubber mat and put out yellow warning sign(s). Also, I  lift the reel from the van whereas some have it bolted down inside.  The preceding procedure tends to take me longer than lifting off a ladder and bucket.  However, I seem to have some larger jobs these days, so that little bit of extra time is easily absorbed.  It's probably a good idea to have a minimum charge and be firm about it as it can seem to be a lot of hassle setting up for little money.

wfp overall is faster over the working week.you ll find some jobs your considerably faster and others similar to trad.as for some customers not liking wfp.well ive picked up a lot more than ive lost since going wfp 13 months ago.

you can clean 99% of windows with wfp plus the add on jobs.also those large houses and commercial will become good earners.

the learning curve will be a good few months  plus you ll spend a fair bit on equipment and finding what suits you best.

wfp is the best move ive ever made in window cleaning and if your serious about your business then you gotta get a set up and wise up.i do use trad on some work as its easier esp in tight spaces or certain types of windows but wfp is one hell of a tool and is the main tool of choice.

safer,easier,faster and you will earn more money.it really is a no brainer for most work.
price higher/work harder!
