i prefer working on my own.less stress.lots of flexibility and you know the job will be done properly.
in fact i pick up work due to the fact i dont have lots of employees and i charge a premium for this on large properties that have been cleaned previously by groups of lads who dont do a good job or respect the property being worked on.
ive picked up some good paying jobs lately from a local window cleaning firm who have been letting themselves down due to rude employees,bad customer relations etc.
i used to have guys working with me years ago.none lasting longer than a few weeks.2 of em tried to canvass my work saying id packed up.one stole some money off me.some are jealous of your round/work and most missed windows out or did a crap job as soon as my back was turned.
never again for me ever.
