Took me about three months of part time cleaning before I made the leap to full time. 1600 a month is easily achievable. However, the most important figure is not your turnover but your net profit. Some post every day on here of their daily turnover but forget to mention their net profit and tax.

Maybe I've  been lucky but I'm always swamped with work, have been for eight years now, bursting at the seams. Loads of vans about now in my area, whether I could do it again - who knows?
Give it a go but have a plan B in place - just incase it all goes tits up.

Or....... you could spend the next two years reading back posts on here while trying to decipher who's who!

If you're in Southampton speak to Vain prefect- he's the main man round there- prefect windows or something?  You might even get a credit  on the next "thank you" seminar!

In addition, research your price. Dont make the mistake of going in with a low price either. You will no longer be the customer but the tradesman. By that, the customers mind set is mostly that they pay too much for just having windows on their house washed, regardless what they are charged. Also a good rule, dont undercut just to get a job or to get your foot in so to speak. As long term you will regret it. You have your target income after tax in mind, so work backwards...what do you want to earn per hour/per day. Tax, travel costs, complications of windows/obstructions etc etc to be taken into account when determining your price and stick to it.
Hope this helps n again all the best
