It’ll happen

[swanson]

They won’t last long.
As soon as there work start picking up you won’t see them.

[NWH]

Yeah but by then people will be seriously stressed out they’ve lost over half there work.

Sounds like a sweet spot of an area. OP has missed an opportunity there.

wrong . Unlike most on here , I am not constantly advertising, door knocking , or leafleting . I have more than enough customers . Always had . I lose very little . Just last year I gave 200 houses to my son . Gratis , but if you want I can give you the area and you can knock the doors as well . It is swarmed with cleaners . But I never lose any of mine . 👍

Competition..... 2 plasterers out of work 😂

Bring it on 😆, they’ll certainly sack it all off as soon as they can start plastering again that’s for sure!

[deeege]

Why would they sack it off? Window cleaning is a hell of a lot easier than plastering. I don’t know a single plasterer get to 40 that’s body isn’t completely knackered.

Swapping plastering for trad window cleaning       Ok

I missed the trad part tbh, but I stand by what I said, wfp and trad is still a lot less physical work than plastering.

[Stoots]

Fair play. It's a great time to knock with everyone being in.

And if you've got the balls to knock doors in the middle of a global pandemic you deserve the success.

You only have their word for it that have done that many, and if they are winning a lot fo very quickly that might mean they are too cheap, so they'll soon get fed up
Sometimes people will fib about their success to try worry you

[Steven Biggs]

Yes . They could have been lying about how many they had picked up . But I certainly wasnt worried . They even knocked a couple I had just done . I laughed . But they did seem decent lads ,not chavy. Agree with deegee . Any form of window cleaning is easier than plastering . I think that is just about the hardest of the trades . Like Gomo said , got some balls knocking at the moment .
