What you’re really doing is searching for fulfilment Adam.

You defo need to accept window cleaning for what it is, and get up each morning with a made up mind. Complete your work and go home.

Perhaps time to stop worrying and thinking about the ins and outs, just work this year and let the round grow organically. Focus of other areas of your life this year…

There is more to life than work. If you really loathe this job, leave it and find another job doing something else, it's not for everyone.

Find something you really enjoy doing, get good at it and the world becomes your oyster. Money is not the be all and end all, happiness is the most important thing to achieve.

not read all the replies as some I can imagine are the usual crap.

I have a fair few estates like this and my most compact is 54. I move the van 4 times and always keep the hoses out because its that easy. Its a mix of 2 bed semis, 3 bed and 4 bed detached. Two of us can do the estate in less than 4 hours.

Then convert straight away and explain all the good parts of wfp, i converted all mine, then after a few times of doing it, once its paid for itself, then move them to a different cycle and up the price slightly.

Compact work is my bread and butter, we earn great money each day and because theyre priced slightly lower than normal it means the impact on losing one or two isnt so great. Its very rare you do though as other cleaners tend to not touch estates where someone has the vast majority of the estate. BTW I dont beleive in patch work but I just think this is the unofficial way of it happening if that makes sense.

Honestly mate, you would be better off spending that £300 on lead gen, get a load of new customers in and just go in with high prices and whatever customers you end up with at least will be priced well and wfp from day 1, rather than having to convert trad to wfp and from low prices to high.  Just sounds like a headache tbh and lots of admin.
