upstairs and conserv for me

the selling point on the conserv is that i keep the white frames clean aswell (of course it takes a 1/3 of the time aswell ;))

I started off doing tops WFP and bottoms trad but that lasted less than a week. Now I just take the brush head off the pole and do the bottoms like that. Its so easy, it only takes seconds per window. I have to try and spin it out a bit because I am doing them so fast its embarrassing.

thats the issue i have, alot of my work are at home in the day ( OAP's etc) and they would be very shocked if i started the house and then tapped on the door in 5 mins for 10 quid

I started with tops only WFP, changed to doping everything by WFP, nowI'm back to tops only - but only because of the water situation here in the southeast.  I reckon I save 60% on my water usage.

when finished really quickly, I will walk over and do another 1 or 2 houses before going to knock for money.
It`s great when they are out though...10 mins and an envelope in the door...sorted. ;D

I agree with Ronaldo totally
my veiw is that if its dirty pole it, its a better quality ie frames too so why not give customers in bungalows the same quality

so I say tops, bottoms, conservatorys/roofs, upvc, cars, Whatever !!

Probably because I live in the southeast and I've been to some drought order application hearings recently.

Mentioning it as an issue is hardly whinging is it now?  You seem to overlook that the people I'm cleaning for are all under a hosepipe/sprinkler ban with probably worse to come.  It follows that while working for such people, it's reasonable to show a bit of restraint.  Just because you don't give a xxxx about drought orders, doesn't mean that I shouldn't be.  I realise that you being in Worcestershire means that you are well away from the affected area.  You also seem to be out of touch with the stress and strain that many window cleaners are experiencing down this way.

I clean tops only unless a customer asks specifically for bottoms to b done wfp, then i give a new higher price depending on whats to be cleaned.

I will also do gutters cladding and fascias too if asked

What are you rattling on about Squeeky? And then theres Shiner going on about stresses and strains! Has he forgot how to clean traditionaly then. And stresses and strains aint nothing to do with window cleaning in the south, try bringing up 5 kids on one wage in a 2 bedroomed house on a council estate surrounded by nutters and having to watch Birmingham City every week. GET IN THE REAL WORLD if you cant make it as a window cleaner do something else for a living its not the only job in the world is it?
