Lol dear me people quoting 200 a day I don’t know a window cleaner that Max’s out on that a day,if they do it’s because it either a lifestyle choice or they are running it till the kids get kicked out of school.
I know there’s a limit to what you can earn within reason but come on set your horizons a little bit higher than the above,maybe depression is rife in window cleaning maybe that’s the reason.
That wasn’t good money window cleaning 25 years ago.

NWH aside, I can't remember last time anyone posted about doing 3-400 a day.

The average across the country will be much lower than that, probably more like 200 a day.

Besides that let's be straight, this is based on what you have declared.

It’s the general consensus Adam, the amount of times pricing threads come up and you hear outrageous claims amount money made.

You then realise at times like this, that people are actually earning so much less.

It’s an observation you can’t miss after being on here for years.

It’s what makes this forum unique.

Who and what posts?  not seen any bragging posts other than the odd rare one.

Come off it! This forum is renowned for it!

That’s why I love it. Makes you laugh.

Every time there’s a thread on money, pricing etc etc.


Yep, you've set people off again on the subject  ;D

Getting the popcorn out. 🍿

If you are happy with what you are earning why tell anybody?
It’s not that m8 lol you’ve got people saying you are lying if you earn much more,window cleaning is all about what particular jobs you do or type of jobs.
I know a few 2 blokes per van that knock out 6-800 a day without blinking,if they don’t earn great money on any particular day-week it’s because they it’s there choice.
200 is 4 that’s FOUR 50 quid jobs not 20 running your arse off 10 quid jobs,kettles on I can smell the coffee brewing.

What’s your yearly profit?

This is the funny thing, everyone bangs on about £200-250 a day. If that was the case, almost no one would be claiming the grant, as it’s only allegeable for those earning under £50,000 a year.

The reality is most window cleaners are far under that.

Even after expenses, at £250 a day, you’d be still be pushing just over £50,000 a year profit. (Assuming expenses are £5-10,000 for a one man band.

I turn over £43,000 odd a year. With only around £4000 in expenses as an average.

I do about 4-5 hours a day, and admit I could work harder, but have a very good round with well paying work. (Thanks to some very good commercial work)

Id be very suprised if there are many sole traders on here pushing out £60,000 a year.

I bet it’s more like £25-30,000 average. The funny thing to me, is, you’d never know that by all the willy waving 😁


It would be so interesting to see the amount of sole trader window cleaners pushing over £50k. I’d love to see that pie chart. I think we’d see a minute slither of £50k earners, the rest under.

I’ve met countless lazy arsed window cleaners over the years that quote 160-180 a day,they’ve all got the same persona they wreak of negativity they all have a chin that is welded to their breast bone lol.
They clean the same work every 4 weeks-month which we all do but they never make the effort to sort wheat from chaff,as Daz once said it’s all about shifting sand or to put it another way replace the crap with cream.

It’s times like this when you’ve got to chuckle at the window cleaners that work on the black market lol,they’ll be saying what am I gonna do I won’t be getting any money to live on.
That’s the choice you make you either have the best holidays and designer clothes or you show what you earn have a top credit rating and live in a nice 🏠 🤣,cash ain’t always king.

I can’t hear your miserable, pessimistic tone through here I’m afraid Mr happy.

Given you usually spend so much time following my threads and writing annoying reply’s, i tended to assume you were doing the same with that one.

Now wipe that constant smile of your face, you’re too happy, too often.

😊

Well that’s true.

But then again, £250 a day or more, who needs help from the government?  ;D
