UPDATE:
As I said earlier we finished early this week so I gave my son the day off and went canvassing on my own today, I started at 9-30am and finished by 1-30pm having gained 5 more jobs in one road including a conservatory roof clean, all jobs were between £12 - £17 (excluding the con roof clean)
This week alone I have gained 13 new jobs with very little effort.

Now for another tip. This would only apply to you if you are WFP.
When canvassing I often look out for houses on a main road with double yellow lines out the front, 2 reasons for this, 1 is that are always dirty from the passing traffic and 2 most w/cs that are trad will not touch them risking the chance of picking up a parking ticket where as using wfp I have never got a ticket yet (fingers crossed) because the warden can see that you are working on the property due to the trailing hose from the van, where as if you were trad once you’ve removed the ladder and at the back of the property you run the risk of a ticket.

Another tip for newbies and canvassing.

Try to speak to a long established window cleaner and he will probably advise you which areas to canvass in - most will know which areas are not currently serviced by a window cleaner for whatever reason. Canvassing 'virgin' estates is much easier and more rewarding. You will get houses closer together as well.

thanx marc, that's whats good about this forums

[SparklingWC]

thanks for this. it seems to be the answer to a few of my posts from not long ago when i started up, and the tips will hopefully help me get more work in the future.
a lot of people on these forums appear to enjoy not helping others, i dont understand why,c os there are a few on here who are hte opposite - and it is nice to see posts saying 'come see me monday and i'll show you' or other things that show forum membrs helping out others - all too many times people on here need help and dont get it, i know cos iv neded help and not had any.
thanks for this and keep up any guides - this should be  made a sticky thread..so it doesnt get lost
