We Have some really good well priced work, but my heart is not in it anymore, like I said the pressure washing side of things is what I love doing now, getting a new website designed, so hopefully that will help gaining more work  ;D

I had the same problem.My Renault traffic wasn't big enough.Bought a Renault Master high roof long wheel base its fantastic.Lots of space and the big plus is you can stand up in it.All that stooping was a killer before.
I know its not always easy to throw money at a bigger van but it makes such a difference to your working day.Life is definitey easier.

Likewise... It seems still novel to be able to stand up in mine too ;D

I was going to get a proper bog fitted to mine but then thought flushing it onto the road oustside a customers house was a bad idea. Turds & bog paper sitting there would not win many customers over methinks ;D

I hate window cleaning now as its just so boring cleaning clean windows, going to pack it in as its just not worth running around chasing tenners.

If you're chasing tenners then you're not pricing high enough...

Window cleaning can be monotonous - but you can't beat it for regular repeat ££

It just takes time to build a good sized business of well priced work.

5 1/2 years and just now at that point .......... the pressure washing is a nice boost and price high so if it comes off then its a very good month £££ wise

I have some well priced commercial that I will keep but there's just so many windys round here willing to work for next to nothing that drives the prices down not to mention all the messers and slow payers, put it this way I have earnt more in one day p/w than a week of window cleaning.

When you have a full day of window cleaning with a full list of houses to clean it fills me with dread, and loathing . . . . but to do a couple of pressure washing jobs, well I am a happy man  ;D

To be honest I'm happy with just one job in a day as there is more lucrative ways to earn dosh than just cleaning windows for sure.

What about a FULL day grass cutting and gardening - now that is dread.  Love the jet washing, but it seems I cannot get enough time in the day to do it with all the bloody hedges I am cutting at the mo  :'(
