Anybody have a full round where only houses £50 plus are on the books(detached standalone)?
You would only need 4 customers a day or 80 customers a month to clean a grand a week.
I reckon with lots of hunting and research i could build a round from sold boards over the course of 6 months maybe a year that could be like above!
Anyway that is the challenge for myself, be an easy 1 to rent out and maintain, anybody done or doing it that way domestic wise?  Im pretty sure it will work just worried if will get a lot of 4 weekly is too recent types with higher costing cleans?

Sounds like a great plan Mick! I would like to make my round nice and neat like that! My minimum price is now £28, but my average price is around the £50 mark. I do find that most people these days want every other month and the bigger houses ie £50 and above want three monthly. I would be interested to know how you get on with your plan.

I tend to do one residental property a day external cleaning wise.
Regards to window cleaning unless you can get a few together you could end up working  longer hours including travel time between them for the same time you could earn on a compact round cleaning smaller properties.

Ill post in a few months when the ball is rolling, i need to get on the sold board hunt first before knocking and building it up as a simple canvass of mansions doesnt work as you well know.
So maybe ill need 160 8 weekers which will take longer but i did think that 4 weekly would be hard to convince them all although im still quite confident a lot will go with 4 weekly! Will see how it pans out.

Id love that. How long did it take for a full business like that though? Imbet years and years.

[Smurf]

I never really wanted just to clean glass as to be honest does my head day in day out so went down the exterior property cleaning route in the end.

I dont intend to work it so not bothered about how long will take within reason, im the king of compact work normally so fancied a change and a challange with something different. It may go Pete Tong but ill give it my best shot either way.

I'm aware of a few that deal with very wealthy clientele so you have nothing to lose giving it a go.

This is my exact market and works fantastic
Just hurts when you loose a customer 😝

[Stoots]

How well does sold board canvassing work Mick in your experience, as in a percentage of those knocked and spoken to what would be an average return?

cheers

You are wrong.

[NWH]

1 house instead of 5 £10 houses as far as time goes a lot of these people are out so time on the job is down to the person cleaning them time wise,this kind of work is the pot  at the end of the rainbow it's more reliable on the whole than commercial. A lot of the time a job lost is most of the time down to bad cleaning or the fact they've stuck with there old WC,a much more relaxed way of working and less running around like a headless chicken cleaning 20-30 houses for less money. You may have to do a few miles between jobs but he ho it's worth it.

I was just taking about 50 squid small jobbies far apart from each other as apposed to doing say eight 25-30 squid smaller jobbies in a row.

A lot of peeps care, the few that don't care happen to be the ones that say.

Why ? they are just numbers that mean nothing. you don't know what the person did for those figures how good was the
quality and so on. does he clean frames does he clean doors does he clean sills the list is endless.
The fact is this whole thread is pointless,
There will be guys doing 20 £25 properties easily a day which is no different to 10  £50 jobs  or 5  £100 jobs and all will be
elite rounds.
