Is possible to take home £500 per week window cleaning after tax and all  other expenses are taken into account, just working normal hours 8 till 3.30 ish. Bearing in mind I live in South Yorkshire which seems to be one of the cheapest places in the UK to have windows cleaned. Or would a much lower figure be much more realistic?

[sparkleglass]

you can in the south mate

[Steven Shoreditch]

Take home?  Maybe.

[DG Cleaning]

[windiewasher]

Equivalent of £34k(ish) per year so yes if you put in the work and price it right

[Small but perfectley formed]

In a word NO
Not in South Yorkshire , a window cleaner is only 1 step up from a burgler

[windiewasher]

more chance of making 37k being a burgular

Hang on a minute, you can't post stuff like that.

I thought you started out as a window cleaner and then graduated to be a burglar.

Get your facts straight.

[GB Window Cleaning]

are you lot kidding him on or what? £500 take home is surely achievable 

[SunShineCleaning]

Yes it is but as Helen points out you will need a TURNOVER of £34k so aveage of £708 for a 48 week year. Giving yourself 20 days holiday.

That may be hard to do in south Yorkshire though.

i'm in sheffield... easy wfp 

[DG Cleaning]

Looking at what some people charge I would say not. But the new customers i'm picking are getting charged more so if I had enough then perhaps.

and getting a few years consecutive holiday all inclusive

46 weeks a year (allow for hols, bad weather, sickness etc)
Aim for £800 turnover per week
£800 divide by 5 days per week = £160 t/o per day
£10 average for each customer.16 per day. 3 custies per hour. 5.5 hours actual work (plus travelling).....part time work
Also leaves time for extra's like conserv roof's, gutter etc etc

[DG Cleaning]

We aren't kidding GB. The round I've taken over averages £5 per house. Yes I know they want putting up and now I've been at it a few months I will but not by much. I know plenty of people round here paying less than £4 for a 3 bed semi

[DG Cleaning]

Hi Helen, At the moment I average around 20 houses per day trad. If I go wfp I would like to think I'll do 25. Perhaps then if I can pick up some customers averaging 7.50 I might get there.

[bad trippy]

How do you lot ever manage to live up norf, it seems so depressing
Some of the towns and cities up there would have me on the prozac 

[d s windowcleaning]

just get the price right and you can make it , i was up your way in birdwell doing a few houses on worsbourgh rd all £10 . there is good work out there even in south yorkshire .

[DG Cleaning]

Tenner on Worsborough Rd's pretty good perhaps I need to be a bit more bold with my pricing. Is that monthly?
