« on: January 14, 2004, 12:54:48 am »
Hi peeps!

Im Just starting my on my own, i have all the equipment and i have previsouly worked for window cleaning company's.

I have just moved to london so i can charge more for window cleaning. I know its more expensive to live but you get more opportunity down here

Anyway! DOES ANYONE HAVE BAD WORK TO GIVE OR COULD I MAKE A GOOD DEAL WITH SOMEONE?

I live in holborn (central london) but i can travel to the outer areas if nessecery.

Any advice or help would be much appriceated and will never be forgotten.

ANDY!

hi mate

you seem nice, and as i wasjust in london on hols ill reply. ps i love yourtube stop  ;D

if you dont want to walk around doors buy a fax machine and send out adds every weekend . it costs next to nothing and works well.

or call up medium cleaning companies and make a deal with them till your on your feet.

all the best

I would start canvassing around Kilburn / Willisden Green area, Try Chatsworth Rd or Brondsbury Park for staters and spread out.
Ignore anything three story or with a basement flat which cuts out most of central london.Most places you can't park anyway.

The roads I mention have good parking and and good two story family houses.
Charge top prices and expect a hostile reception from other cleaners.

Around London there are loads of little parades of shops up side roads. Give them a try.

Why not put a few of your card in phone boxes as last time I was London I saw quite a few cards in boxes  offering services, ie french lessons ,  etc, etc ;)

The answers to the last two postings are -

No window cleaners don't generally get on in London. You would generally expect anyone new to be given a bit of verbal. Don't worry though, Ive never heard of it going further than verbal.

If you put your cards in phone boxes you will definitely get a lot of calls (and will make more money than cleaning windows).  just don't forget the vaseline.

BOY are we off the original topic. Lets get back to finding this lad some work in London.
Most of the London suburbs are not as heavily populated with window cleaners as you might think. If you are serious about it you will build up a good round without too much trouble. Just keep at it.

hi andy sorry for the late reply.

as to you question how to get home fax numbers ?

why bother ?

commercial work pays better, faster and more often and they print the number in the yellow pages.

allso canvas nightclubs i do 2 club a week and make 200..00 from just them allso youll move into carpet cleaning from thier.


good luck

Oooh, I seem to remember that you`ve only just moved there and now you`re a city slicker.
 I don`t think many people on this site know about inner city work in London but neither do you by the sounds of it.
  You complain when you don`t get an answer and are rude and ungrateful when you do.
   What`s the point of working in London to earn "serious money" when you have no round ?
    You`ve also shown interest in rounds in Coventry and Newmarket so  don`t pretend that London is the only place to be.
   You`d think someone so rich would know,or know someone who knows, a window cleaner that knew what to charge.

ok giffin, or what every your name is.

I am a city sliker, i come from las vegas.

And the reason why i would like to buy rounds around the country because i want to control the window cleaning business in the uk.

on a basic note:- i want all the work in the uk, im only here to do business and i havent come to this site to make friends.

Now that i have come to this site i know the calibra of people who in this line of business in the uk.

AND MONEY AND WHO YOU KNOW MATTERS!
