are you new to this game? One offs are worthless and useless. It is where all the bad payers, cheapskates gather. I stopped doing one offs 2 years ago and one of the best decisions ever. Don't forget to use Gocardless

He is new if you d bothered to read his posts.....if you have a light work week one offs can be  OK if you charge a premium....I charge at least 50% more for one off add on jobs

He’s been posting for over 3 years. Is 3 years still new?

If the year you started begins with a 2 you're new.

Nonsense.

So someone who’s been cleaning since 2000, that’s 22 years, is still new? That’s likely half of their working life.

If you haven't used a chamois - you're not a real window cleaner.

If your bumhole hasn't done the 50p - 5p - 50p - 5p dance at the top of a 25ft ladder in a blowing hoolie - you're not a real window cleaner.

🤣 yeah if you’ve not been up 3 old fashioned floors on a ladder with one leg stretching across the window sill on a windy day you’ve not done your apprenticeship lol,I remember the days if I opened my mouth I could hear my heart beating.

Ah Dazza I see your back again I thought you disappeared a few weeks ago 🤣

I avoid domestic non payers by insisting on DD for regular customers , and for one off jobs they pay in full upfront to book it in (card payment over the phone
Usually)

Commercial I invoice thru Xero and you can set invoice reminders. I then chase any that are longer by adding late payment fees to their invoice. That nearly always gets them to pay

It’s no different to free climbing at that height tbh 1 slip and you’d be finished,3 Victorian floors up pointed railings below you no chance the amount of times I look back and think very lucky really.
I walk in to the odd plant pot now 🤣🤣

I got stuck on a balcony roof when my ladders  blew over years back.

when I look back I cringe !
I do however have pins in my wrist from a fall. that was in 1993!  after that I learnt fast !
I did 13 years on a ladder  until I went wfp in 2005.

I poop myself now if I need to use a ladder ! although I havnt needed one for about 3 years

[James Styles]

The £60 has been paid now

[NWH]

I don’t clean any windows from a ladder I just have a short one to get on a flat roof for glass roofs etc,not worth it the general public couldn’t careless if you fell off and spent the rest of your life pushing yourself about.
I know a roofer he fell 15ft smashed his heel to pieces can’t pin it just has to heal off work for 6 months,his phone never rang to ask him how he was got to think about no 1.

Took on a new customer this week. They signed up to go cardless then cancelled it before I could take the payment  :

I should never have cleaned it, went against all my better judgement as the place was an absoloute doss hole. I couldn't even get mad at that one just laughed at myself I should have know better. Well I do know better, as I was cleaning it I was thinking she aint paying....

When I think about  it id say I've lost on average £20 a month to non payers. I just see it as a business cost, it happens and always will happen.
