GM I think that's bad advice try working for somebody else, he obviously want to work for himself that's why he cane to this forum to learn.buzzing - please dont take offense to this, do you not think it might be better for you to start off working for someone else? i know its a learning process but you really dont seem to have any idea and i just feel its a bit much to expect to clean peoples windows for money when you probably wouldnt do as good a job as if they did there own windows themselves? i really dont mean this negatively but i reckon some hands on experience is what you need, see if a local windy will take you out for the odd day, you would learn so much quicker imo
Do they teach you how to window clean. I honestly thought it was just h&s ?GM I think that's bad advice try working for somebody else, he obviously want to work for himself that's why he cane to this forum to learn.
Buzzing if I were you mate I would get on a course like impact 43 and just ask as many questions ask you can on here no matter how silly the seem you will always get a answer, keep at it pal, keep practicing and jeep asking questions you will start picking tips up to make life easier.
Shut up Formby and lean back on ya lamp post /emoticons/tongue.pngRay is my mothers brother !!!
well im the same as every one els, im still learning but courses like these only help employers and if your new and setting your self up for the first time and having a leap of faith and that the customer is expecting a high standard and if they complain well its his own fault.my advice was for buzzing, not everybody, from he's previous posts talking about not being comfortable on ladders, that he doesnt know how to trad,etc, just because you WANT to be a self employed window cleaner doesnt mean you will be any good at it, the customers deserve to pay for someone that knows what there doing, its not all about you! you will never learn how to clean windows on a course like you would by working for someone else, thats not me hating on courses, but anyone that has worked for someone else will tell you its the best foundation for growing your own business, too many people are setting up when they havent got a clue, it doesnt help the industry at all ....... IMO!
going on this course in Swindon and will take ladder up there for some questions. I asked two guys if they would take me with them and they refused, I offered for free but I guess they either can't be bothered or worry about competition. That impact 43, isn't it £800 or something ridiculous?Impact43 course is the best idea for him I think - proper teaching of everything, free, and a qualification at the end of it. . .
I agree, but how do I get someone to help me? I work an afternoon job from 2.30, but am available in morningsyh i was just saying that sometimes it would be better for some people to start off learning the business their in before setting up as a business themselves. from my own experience i would say it was the best start i could have had, i had time to get good at trad cleaning and knowing which chemicals to use where, as well as seeing how my old boss ran his round, how he did his books, how he priced his work etc, yes you can learn it all off of forums etc but for me it was the best intro to the business.
i see so many window cleaners doing an absolutely terrible job and its down to one of two things, theyve been doing it years and have gotten lazy, or they have just started up with no experience and havent a clue what theyre doing
