So for agument sake lets just assume a one man band using wfp method could quite easaly bash out 35 x 3 bedders a day at say 25 squid a pop in under 7 hours. That would be quite something don't you think... Not quite 1000 squid a day but getting close. lol

Exactly, but even at a tenner your talking £1750 for a five day week, if you only worked 30 weeks per year its £52.5k
not bad eh. lol.

I don't work 5 days a week Sean, part of the reason I work hard is to get more time off.

That's why I said 30 weeks as it gives you 22  weeks or 110 working days off in whatever way suits.

Still a bit different saying £1750 for a five day week when I don't work five days. Do you know of anyone who works a five day week for 30 weeks then has 22 weeks off? Does the lol at the end of your post infer that you don't believe how many houses I clean?

It isnt really about what can be earnt though as id prob smash the lot of you out the water with daily amounts on compact work  but i never go there, would like to know how many average houses over a 6 hour day others manage to do as i feel i could do more if i pulled my finger out a little more.  From this i cant see why im not hitting over 20 a day so when in Jan for the 2nd clean when they come up again im gonna really go for it and try smash 20/25 out. Thats the aim anyway, if not then no big deal, just means my plans will slighlty change and will have to do a bit more.

Increase your turnover by 25% by wiorking 8-3.30.  7.5 hours instead of six. 

For more, just clean windows, dont answer the phone, ever. Just clean windows, eat on the go. Do your own windows quickly and see how they dry. Youll see how fast you can be like that. Dont answer the phone. Write slips out the evening before. Park so your hose pull is straight. Dont asnswer the phone. Chat for a minute and say 'better start!'. Just clean windows.  Don't answer the fuggin phone.

No I'm just pointing out the amount of cash that can be earned for x amount of hours, spread it out over 52 weeks if you want.
the lol is because you didn't understand that.

45 minutes seems a long time for an average job. You either "swing the lead" to justify what you think are high prices or your houses are typically very, very large. I reckon we'd do a modern 5 bed detached in under 30 minutes. I would guess our average job is 15 minutes or so.

If it was all upvc and sheets nicely then yes. My works a mush mash of all sorts, lots of bespoke glazing and in villages. Old chapels, barn conversions and stuff. If it was all new build upvc then life would easier but hey. Nice views and the coffee is of good quality.

The vast majority of mine, have the waterfall effect its great.
However i do have to choose who i get my hot drinks from. Not many make a good brew or a very nice coffee (i am a coffee snob). However in winter i say yes to most as i use it just to warm hands around cup haha

35 houses a day + brews from all your customers wow 😳
No toilet breaks with all that coffee?
You must be out from the crack of dawn til sunset, all with 500 Ltrs water as well?

For work purposes. Lol its all about being efficient

I do have one old dear, who insists on putting a splash of whiskey in the cuppa for some reason at winter. Lol i keep telling her i dont use ladders anymore, just give me the whiskey minus the tea

How many hours a day are you out the house working Nathan?

[Jonny 87]

I really don't understand how some of you guys think 25 plus standard houses a day is crazy and the quality must be somehow sub standard?

I've posted this video before but here it is again;

https://youtu.be/8GrTUs7JwfQ

I need to do an update as actually I've sped up quite a bit now with univalves and higher flow rates, but even at this comfortable pace the whole house (4 bedroom detached WITH a conservatory is cleaned in About 12 minutes which would include packing away the kit and driving away.

So 30 standard houses like a 3 bed semi is a very achievable day for me.

I'm happy for anyone to critique the technique but I'm confident no corners are cut and quality is very high ( not perfect perhaps but who looks for perfection) and before anyone says I didn't rinse the window above the conny it is a frosted window and I never rinse those off the glass, the odd spot isn't noticeable from inside.

I have days like these full of compact houses and I can hit 25 a day.

Other days I may only do 10-15 of much larger properties, but as the above post is about standard houses, id expect 10-15 houses to be a mornings work.

[Shrek]

I wouldn't call a new build a standard house tbh , houses in my area are older , bay windows, large windows, trees in gardens dropping crap and debris on the windows.  That's standard houses for me , Like I said if I was cleaning new builds , I could whack a fair few out too.

True, I don't class that as a standard house either. Standard for me is three bed semi with 4 or 5 windows round the back and same st the front.

To be honest even on my harder properties nearer trees etc my speed isn't slowed down much. When properties get cleaned 4 weekly there is very little dirt on the glass.

Im sure ive mentioned on another post somewhere, but on a whole i try to knock of about half four in summer mnths so come winter im not loosing much work on early dark nites.
My kid goes into class about 8.50, ive walked back to van and maybe set off at 9.

Tho some nornings i go get a good all u can eat breaky with coffee to fill up on and that way when im working i dont stop for no lunch. If i have breaky im driving to first job at around half 9. If im breaking for lunch later im heading to first house in van at 9.

Yep, i eat fast, always have.  I enjoy my meals in evening but when working i just see it as fuel n basic food so down the hatch it goes.

When i work out where to stick my phone, ill do a vid of me cleaning a house

the lol is because you didn't understand that.

You are wrong, you put the lol before I even responded to you, so at that point you would have been unaware if I understand simple maths or not ....lol

I don't count jobs but rather the value. In general I know what total I want each person to do and the number of jobs varies. Generally 15-20 I guess. I did my first "full day" last week for some time as someone was off Ill and I started at 11 and finished at 3:50pm with 1/2 hour lunch. I did 17 jobs.

I don't know how someone manages 30 or more. They must be tough and incredibly quick.

So given half hr break n being realistic. In four hrs you cleaned 17 houses. Now unless im thick, if that was on a compact round, in another 4hrs you could quite easily do another 17 houses unless your an ild codger whos strength would have been drained. So that shows by your own words easily 34 houses. But lets say strength does waver, perhaps it would be 30 houses.

So come on you chaps, stop saying its impossible or unbelievable or quality would suffer. It is doable and quality doesnt have to suffer and no i dont work everyday because i get my work done by wed. Five days work for you guys done in 3 days. I'll think ill stick to my methods than listen to all the rubbish on here as to whats acceptable and do able because of your own limitations

So at what point does fatigue kick in?
So...if you can go and run round the park and do 5 miles in an hour , does that mean you can do 5 miles an hour for 8 hours continuously?

I'm amazed , I really am , 5 houses an hour for 7 hours.
No lunch break , no toilet breaks,  no stopping to refill your tank . I really would like to see that as I bang three out an hour and need to refill at dinner time

[nathankaye]

Im only in late 30's n been doing this for long enough that im used to it. Infact its easier with wiggling a stick around than going up n down ladders, ducking under washing lines etc etc.
When i first switched to wfp it took ne double time if not longer.  But when you work out where to park, which windows to clean first  (due to drips as u kno) and practice with different water flows n how many jets. You soon learn the best routine per house.
Lol wee breaks in bk of van in a special pee bottle for the occasion (hence black out windows). Plus im a healthy fit man, and due to how i work i usually get thur -sun off.
But i will post a vid, lol might drag my mrs out to film me clean a couple of houses together

I'm early 30's! 😳
