I've decided to get rid of 3 domestic jobs today,all fairly well priced but requires me to use ladders to access their large glass roofs on the back of their properties....

I now have no jobs requiring me to use ladders or a squeegee either!(lost my last trad ground floor job last dec)...

I've notified the 3 customers,2 of them I've had for 10+ years.....

After what happened to a window cleaner last year(who I used to work for back in 1992) I won't be taking on any jobs that need ladders anymore....those days are over....

Why has it taken you so long to work out?

I think we all have exceptions to the rule like this.

I have one I use a step ladder for 1 velux window.

I have about half a dozen houses where I need to crack out my 47ft pole for some awkward windows over extensions or velux. The rest of my round I can do with 25ft or 18ft pole

Why don't I just bin these off ?  I just like to moan about them everytime instead .

These jobs are fairly well priced and next to other good jobs and I've just kept them on.....

I think we ve all been guilty of keeping some jobs on longer than we should and one of them is a friend of my brothers...

It's a great relief now that I'll never have to clean them again...

Also with the new jobs I've already picked up this year I'm only £68 down over the course of the year now ive let them go with price rises across the board happening in April so alls good in the hood!

That's not getting ladders off a roof rack and having to physically climb them with your pole to clean large glass roofs though is it?

I also have a few jobs where I use my 47footer but they are well priced and worth cleaning....otherwise what would be the point of having a high level pole?

It's the ladders that are the risk for me not water fed poles

No i find step ladders enough of a hassle no way i would be getting anything off a roof rack.

I dont know the point of the pole really its an slx so is very heavy, i just kept adding extensions but its an absoloute pig to use.

I'd probably bin them if I had an slx at that height but I use an xtreme 47 so not so bad....
