Just applied, mainly because I spend a fortune on materials renovating the house.

10% off all purchases - I’ll be interested to see if they accept my application as a window cleaner!

Gardening was listed on the generic ‘choose your trade’.

Will report back if it’s successful.

I provided website and also needed a letter headed page of some sort as proof. Did it all through the website, gotta wait a day or so for it to be reviewed.

Glad to hear others have had success!

There was no option for cleaning company on the list when i did mine.

I put property developer 😂

There was nothing close to window cleaning, but they’ll know that anyway when they see I’m a window cleaner!

I also have a trade account with a local builders merchants and they know exactly what  we do as we do their windows and cladding clean ,but still don’t have a problem with us having an trade account.

I have been approved as a general builder 

[zesty]

I was approved as a property developer 

Does seem silly they don’t list ‘cleaner’ at the very least.

Anyway, good that they see window cleaning as a trade. It could be a bit of a grey area, but they want the custom, so makes sense for them as a business.

My missus is an interior designer so she has all the trade cards for wickes,b and q,etc...

She also does all the painting and wallpapering which is great 👍 😄

I ordered a new step ladder from wickes last night the 10% came in handy,  it will for kiln dried sand too.

Why would they refuse you? They are a trading business that wants your custom, even with a 10% discount they’ll be making a decent profit. It’s not in their interest to turn you away. Same goes with Costco, cash n carry stores etc etc.

Yes, that’s what I said in an earlier post, they obviously want the business.

It’s just interesting to see what they consider a trade. I’d like to know where the line is because windows cleaning has never been listed as a trade…

If the colour of your money is the right colour then you're a trade.
