Had a bit of time to spare today so I  thought I would do a customer count (something I’ve not done before)
And it came out like this

Average price domestic 10 quid
Average price commercial 100 quid

This guy is pushing nearly 8 grand a month.  If you are doing this on your own I take my hat off to you.

This is how to be a window cleaner.

Commercial I have 17 lowest is £10. Highest £450. Again schedules vary between 2 weeks to 3 months.

I also do another 9 monthly commercials for a contract cleaner.

This post made me think, actually, recently I've been thinking, Its sooo easy if you wanted too, to make loads of money window cleaning. I wouldn't put that effort in cos of religion and all that. But you could.

I have to turn customers down now. You just grow without trying. Over a few years you look and think, oh man I've got loads of customers withot trying, in a year I'll have loads more.... Take someone on or cut back!

Does this qualify as the most pointless thread of the year? I work on my own and wc is 75% of my work. My figures would be pretty p compared to someone working full time with 1, 2, whatever employees. How long is a piece of string? Suffice to say, I earn enough.

As weather does play apart in this game it would be good to see who pushes there self the most as a one person outfit. i do wonder how far i can grow on my own . there are things you can do to grow in wealth without gain lots of customers less for more money per a clean is the best way forword for me as i now price higher .
comercials is the way forward for me but i keep my domestics .and now have been trying hard to gain in comercials . Hotels is what suits me as they want cleaning from feb to oct maybe november this allows me in less light hours in the winter to get my domestics cleaned each mon
