Just seen the marketing for this offering franchise oppurtunity  they are going to shake up the  market with their bespoke  software and app .
Looks  like the parent company is doing well 4.5 k customers and 300 k in company account they are London and Hertfordshire based.

How exactly are they going to shake up the market then?

[Marc Stock]

Their prices are very cheap. The concept though is very good.

People want a reliable window cleaner that will come and clean thr windows when they say they will, and not when they feel like it.

Like another member stated on here recently, THE BIGGEST complaint from window cleaners work, is tardiness.

I see you have emphasised the word cheap well there’s your answer,I am not cheap I don’t do cheap jobs they are priced well I have what I consider to be a high minimum price. If someone has a flat with a couple of windows I still charge 15 and that would only be if I had 3-4 flats to clean while I was there that is the absolute minimum I’d charge,so many window cleaners out there flat out busy earning far less than they should be. Like my Mrs says it’s the quality not the quantity lol

i wouldn't say the prices are very cheap those are front only prices there listing. What would you charge for the detached front then Marc?

I thought OSHA were going to shake up the market !!

My minimum price is now £25. So if i was asked to do a front only, it would fall into that price bracket.

Tardiness is the main issue, is it?

This one makes me laugh really.  In order to keep prices reasonable, it's better practice to have a full workload Spring to Autumn, and allow the gaps between cleans to grow longer in Winter.  There's little choice really with shorter daylight hours and down time for freeze ups.
The alternative is to make totally sure you can be on time in Winter, which would mean being very short of work from Spring to Autumn.
Apparently, the first scenario is called 'turning up when you feel like it.'
I once had a customer who complained that the gaps between my visits were too long.  He also used to want me to do extra jobs (with no notice) and even wanted me to de-moss his roof (I wouldn't do that).  Eventually, he sacked me (it was a relief).  Not before I pointed out that if even ten per cent of the customers wanted extra work done (as I did for him), the gaps between cleans would be even longer.  I knew I was staying sacked and was fine with that, but he did concede my point.

Looks like their prices are for glass only, frames done once per year.

They are expensive for that.

How do you clean glass only? With windows stacked upon each other surely you would have to clean some frame work?

[tlwcs]

Love the fact our debs couldn't find a reliable windy so she thinks everyone else can't.
Maybe, just maybe she's a messer and all the reliable windys have dropped her. 😁
One review said the cleaner had missed out a window. How hard is it, bleeding idiots.

How is that a price bracket? Brackets usually have an opening and closing and that is an exact number.

I don’t think he needs luck , he’s already doing it 👍

[Marc Stock]

As of 2018. My starting rate is £25. So it doesn't matter if its a small window, a front part of a house or whatever. £25 is my bottom line. It helps to screen out the jobs that simply wont get me to my target. Last year my min price was £22 and worked very well.

But i am fair, so for example if someone wanted just the fronts done bi monthly, on a 3 bed semi and i quoted £25 for that; for the extra £5 they can have the rest of the house cleaned and they generally agree to having it done, if that becomes hard to stomach; I also include a quarterly option on the quote slip so a £30 house on bi monthly would be £38 on quarterly a saving of £28 a year.  I nearly always get a sign up, explain the next clean date and clarify they must leave access on the due date etc.
