This forum must've made a definate impact on UK window cleaning prices.
Your right there Tosh. I don't think anyone starts out with the intention of undercutting. When I started, I had no idea what to charge. I'm still paying for that with some long standing customers.
If this forum had been around then, I would have priced jobs a lot higher.
13 years ago, when I started back in window cleaning, I was charging 35p per window. Now they are paying 70p. If I had started out charging 50p I would now be earning a pound for every window cleaned.
I can often go a month without seeing another shiner, apart from the ones I drive past of course. I didn't know any window cleaners when I started, so there was no one to ask for advice. Unlike you, who know many other guys that post on here, I only know Geoffery Specht. I may bump into him every couple of months.
This forum Is the best thing that ever happened to window cleaning. Without it, I bet there would be at least 30% less WFP users. Dai
