Had a call last week from a lad that I know and is an experianced window cleaner but for numerous reasons left windows 6 months ago asking if I had a job for him - explained that only enough work for myself and unable to help him out - then he offered to canvass up enough work for me on basis of a job for him at end of it so thought nothing to loose and said yes.

He has been canvassing from van whilst im cleaning windows so nice and compact

so far in 2 days he has got me

£12 monthly
£14 monthly
£14 monthly
£10 monthly

Happy with this - cost is first clean and he even helps me on 1st cleans  

Leaflets getting dropped if customer out so hopefully will bring a few more in

I like how you needed to excuse the £5 job by saying its only 3 windows.

That's what makes me laugh on this site, people will slag you off for doing a £5 job. Be 3 windows or 30 windows and you only charge £5, it has nothing to do with anyone else and you shouldn't feel the need to justify it.

My cheapest is a £7er.  It's four ground floor windows.


The problem was that the last time I cleaned them, it started taxiing down the runway before I had finished.

Sounds like youre onto a winner with that bloke mate.

However, find this answer a bit strange:

eh?  

lol, £3.50. Surely its not worth doing them at that price, even if you were claiming benefits too

My cheapest job is £4 (for 2 leaded windows on the front of a bungalow monthly), and couldn't care less what other people think of me for it.

I think you look like an Emu

What bit dont you get and i'll explain it?

Its not the fact the price is only £5, its the fact that he feels the need to justify it to idiots like you, who only come on here to troll with your six fingers and inbread relations.

Doing a 3 bed semi for £3.50 is still surely not worth it as i first stated.

The difference is i'm not putting the job value or price down and stating that its surely not worth doing 3 bed semis for that price

You seem upset.

Cred taking a nose dive is it?
