£5 Per house
« on: March 05, 2009, 01:56:37 pm »
Been out canvassing for a few hours yesterday and today and a lot of people have had leaflets put through their doors advertising £5 cleans not FROM £5 JUST £5 ON WFP. Total idiots, some of these houses i would have priced at £10 to £12. How the hell can you have a price on your leaflets? I mean how long is a piece of string? Total idiots i say

They wont last for long mate, fly by window cleaners.

most of my work is £5 per house  per fortnight  (Average 3 bed semi NO conservatory)and i  only use WFP system
I CAN assure you i am not fly by night after spending over £2k to kit my van out after using a DIY system for the past year and its sign writen as well 

round where i am from people dont want to and cannot afford to pay and with the credit crunch people dont have as much money

I have spoke to a few Long standing cleaners that i come across when im cleaning and like me they say its hard to get more than £8 per house round here ......

Each to there own i say
I can sleep at night knowing i am doing a good job and that my customers are happy

yes there will be some people buying a ladder and a shammy and starting to window clean while the sun shines ...thats there problem..

in the current climate would you rather clean 5 houses at £5 per fortnight or clean 0 houses at £10 per fortnight


ill await the slating i will get for this post but please dont all people who clean windows for £5 as idiots!!

eclipse its all to do with areas i get allsorts £5 to whatever
the trick is to have a good mix.
no good doing an entire army camp making loads and it shuts down
i lost a few farms when the foot and mouth broke never got them back
would be nice to live in london with all them yupies to take to the cleaners

but you cant clean 5 semi on your own in a hour surely.

im quick amd i dont think i could.

if you cleaned it once a month for 10 you would be going once earning more and lets be honest they dont need cleaning twice a month

Someone who has come from a min wage job to start up w/c, will be well chuffed if he can do even just 2 £5 houses an hour.

4 an hour yeah, for 8 hours 5 days a week NO, and what about bad weather! No chance of catching up unless you work 9-10 hours, or do 5 an hour :) Its possible but if you can push for more then do! Ive worked in areas at £5 a house, and couldnt get any more than that, so i sold up and changed area, id rather drive 20 miles and have easier work, but if your happy then who am i to say :)

And i have £5 houses, but not 3 bed semis, much smaller!

At  that rate, your mate would give Terry Turbo Burrows (The World's Fastest Window Cleaner) a run for his money

I do four bedroom houses 5.50.

Above and conservatories 8.00.

Been window cleaning 7 years and WFP 7 months, have large customer base and lose very little yet have a lot of new custom.

A lot of window cleaners got greedy during the 00's charging what they wanted.
