They're undercharging; I charge at least £30 for a semi, takes me no more then ten minutes.

Landscapers?  Busy fools. 

[Steven Shoreditch]

And they smell.

I'm going to join their forum and give them some stick!!!! Uneducated are we, unlike highly intelligent gardeners!!!!! 

[Smudger]

yes the guy is so clever he spent 10k and 3 1/2 years on his degree only to be more poorly paid than some
uneducated 'dodgy' guy with a ladder - so who's the bigger fool ?

this thread does show what other sectors and services think of us w/c's and of course what we think of them,

the comment ' any idiot can push a mower ' did come to mind as i read the thread and many gardiners i know of only do just that - if you are a proper landscaper then we are talking a whole different ball game.

Guys, if window cleaning were perceived as some sort of high status, high earning job, what do you think would happen?

I even like the misperception that window cleaners are nothing more than burglars in disguise; I hope it makes my customers think that they should stick with the devil they know rather than the one they don't.

I vote we sign up and troll the forum though.   

I've just signed up, but I've got to finish cooking dinner before I get started.

I dont mind people looking down on me as i go about cleaning my round, i know how much i earn without beholding to anyone, not a trade? stuck up fools

I have a customer that is a landscaper/Gardiner, I picked up the job while doing a job whilst she was there doing landscape work, we both arrived for payment at the same time for work done, I got £12 for twenty minutes work and she got £24 for 2 hours work.

I still have both on my books and the Gardiner pays me £20 for around 40 minutes work on a far superior house than the one we were both working on so she grafts hard and make her money and so do I, and she knows she is getting a good deal from me, I did extra work for the Gardiner and when completed she had worked out what I would charge to the penny and paid without any problems

[Richard Neal]

I Know quite a few gardeners / landscapers and have never had a problem with any of them, i think that this gardening forummust be the same as ours, got some twits on there as well 

[Steven Shoreditch]

Twits?  Here on ciu?  I don't believe it!

[Richard Neal]

I'm starting to get a little bit of a bite! 

[A & J Owen Window Cleaning]

Most of them are alright but there are some right idiots on there sometimes.  One of them this morning is suggesting that we can clean all windows with a soapy pad and a pole. I've suggested that if he's got leaded windows he might like to pop outside and try it - with the sun on them as well 

[R W C™]

Lol I know what ill be checking throught the evening, proves theres numptys on every kind of forum...
