Keep up the good work. There is nothing wrong with using a car we all started at the bottom.Its not the van makes        the man it the man buys van. Battling to buy a van is a good driving force to succeed.

Nothing wrong with that mate. 130 a day turnover is good in some areas, fantastic in others. Depends where you are, but a good days turnover by any standards of one man band.

You can't really trust earnings posted on here, just make sur you earn what you think is right for the amount of work you put in. Some here want to build empires, some want a good living and some just do enough.

That's the good side of this malarky, you decide how far you go, but nothing wrong with an average of 130 a day.

What does it matter what other people earn. You earn what you are happy with or at least earn what you need to earn and leave it at that, all this I earn xxx amount is pointless, as already posted on here "dont listen to most wc on what they earn,  u get them on here, earning 100s before 8 am,  yet 1 week of bad weather and they are crying they are going bust and have no money, cant afford to pay there staff and can they lay them off over winter"

A poles a pole, ive read some rubbish on here before, but that is right up there. Im not saying a harris pole isnt good for the money, but you cannot compare it to a carbon fiber pole that is lighter, more ridged, shorter closed length, and better clamps.

Not this again!! Please feel free to post a video of yourself cleaning a normal house with your super duper £400+ pole, and I'll post a vid of me using a £15 Harris, so we can see how its worth an extra 385 quid!!!

cheers guys  ;)
im not out to get a posh van or big image just a decent weeks earnings !
ive brought some rounds & got askd to do some houses that the guy lost as i dont think he was too good
i go the extra mile by doing frames etc (trad man) try to dress in good workgear & look the part, but just got a pole from gardiners and a backpack (get water from a m8 for now) was nervous about doing wfp but do windows now that are a bit risky by ladders trying to introduce it slowly (as a tool for now)
My big problem is canvasssing   :( pulled up outside an area last week & went for it BUT every house had a windy got back in car nearly shaking & totally down....find this so hard to do,most areas SEEMED covered or  thats the way im thinking  :-\

It not the ability to clean a house that is different, its the ease of use and how you feel at the end of the day after a full days use, that is why its worth spending £250-£300 on a pole.

Average is a lot different from maximum.

Look at what you took (turnover - one man) over the last twelve months and divide by 52 to get a true average figure per week. Divide by 5 for a full timer for day rate.

I reckon the chart for full timers would look like this for many of us.

Trad turnover - one man

less than £15K - you're a part timer me old son.
£15000 - £20000   60%
£20000 - £25000   30%
£25000 - £30000     8%
£30K plus               2%

Wfp

£20000 - £25000   60%
£25000 - £30000   25%
£30000 - £35000   10%
£35000 - £40000     3%
£40K plus               2%

Roy Harding £100,000!  ;D

Keep doing a good job and more work will come in, word of mouth from your customers will be by far the best work you will pick up
