It's not my cup of tea granted but it's up to every individual how you make your money.

It would seem you need to be right in there with plenty of shops etc close together to make it pay & the bonus of all weather cleaning (if you're that way enclined).

Personally, I wouldn't want a large percentage of my income reliant on someone else's contracts. I can only comment on work I have been offered & compared to what I get for domestic & private commercial it was literally peanuts! However, if there was enough of it in close proximity to each other then it would pay BUT.... it wouldn't come as easy as my current work.

You have to weigh up the effort & commitment required for the return offered, for me it has never even come close to tempting me but for others it obviously does.

I do think though, that there is a misconception at times that commercial work is good no matter what & I strongly disagree with that.

a big part of shop work is the area you live in,bristol city center must have over a 1000 shops whitin a 5miles radius,add that lot up plus the windows of offices above the shops and you have a nice days work,3days later your cleaning the same shops.

i do a friday/thursday morning doing shops,yes your right not a great pay i could earn the same doing houses,but i like the different workand i dont start before 7am doing them and cause its a friday i finsh at 2/3pm,but these shops get done no matter what the weather and all pay on the day.

There's a lot to be said for all weather income that pays on the day, I'd do more shops if I could get them!

The only small commercials i like doing are the pubs coz most of the time i get a free pint and since the smoking ban insides are a doddle to clean. All of my pubs i do are 2-4 weekly and get £40-100 a pop. No early starts on these either. I used to do all the local coral bookmakers near me at £20 a pop before they went national which also wasnt early starts between 8.30 till 12 to get 8 done shops done.
The only early starts i do are if its an office block or doing industrial cladding cleaning on a price. Wouldnt get out before 6 to do anything other than well priced work. Not that desperate.
