According to their home page they have 15 years experience.

It's the old Woolworth principal: Pile 'em high sell 'em cheap.

i think someone with 15 days experience would charge more than £5 for any house, what if you own a stately home in the middle of nowhere, its not gonna be profitable then is it??

£7.50 for domestic cleaning, and £9 for office, he might as well get a job :)

It might be a cunning plan. Put all the local boys out of business because they won't/can't compete. Then when DC are the only window cleaners in the area push the prices up.

Supermarkets do this all the time with small shops.

My recent experience has been that when money gets tight I'm the first "luxury" expense to get binned.  I don't think it'd make a shred of difference if I said I'd do them for a fiver rather than a tenner...it would still be "sorry can't afford it for the time being".

why doesnt he do commercial? it says

(Please note we DO NOT offer a commercial window cleaning service)

why would anyone state we do not offer a commercial? maybe not paying tax and doesnt want to provide invoices springs to mind or no insurance.

strange though

looks like this guy is not cleaning them himself - he is selling them on for 4x! what a cheek, they arent even long standing customers, just a list!

saw him on ebay trying to sell a list of 50 pre-canvassed customers at £5/per house

have a look! ebay no 110303506199

genius  :)
