I don't really have a strong opinion on this issue other than I've observed prices go up, but so has everything. From another business I'm involved with , I can tell you that shipping costs have increased recently because of the attacks on ships in the middle east and so they have to take the...

I would buy the extra hose. It always comes in handy. You'll be fine with an SLX '25. I personally wouldn't remove the last section on any Gardiner pole, it's insulated in case of electric shock. You'll only need enough hose to stick out the end of your pole so about 2m. The rest goes on the...

Welcome. I started at 18 years old and am 35 this year. It's a great job. EZ snap (rectus 21) connector female on the back pack option. Then buy a male and female for the hose and a male for the end of your pole. Green PU Hose is by far the best and I personally find about 11 meters is right...

I've been working out my car for years wfp. Perfectly doable.

They are great. I also had a small pack of ferrero rochets with one order I made around Christmas time. Legends! In no way did that influence my recommendation.... but if you're reading this Window Clean centre, I'd love some more

Window clean centre, Ipswich. Service is second to none. Used them for over 10 years.

The Cotswolds is a favourite of ours. How about yourself?

This resonated with me. I'm 34 but really want to drop a Friday and get 4 day week so my wife and I can get out walking and the weekend is longer. Family & other commitments in the way at the moment but I'm totally with you! It's something I'm aiming for. I think your strategy is a good one.

I would struggle to do this job 8 hours a day now. I've been window cleaning for a total of 15 years. For me, being able to work less hours but still for good pay and achieving a healthy work life balance is what motivates me. Also, I'm fortunate to work in some lovely countryside and this...

The most I have on one rd is......... 8! I now have round insecurity issues. Thanks guys ;)

Happy Christmas ?

I agree. I also trad about 10% of my work for the same reasons as you.

Sorry to hear this. I dislike bad customer service. If you can, try and build up a supply of spares. I've tried to do this over the years so I'm never off the glass due to failed parts etc. Two poles, brushes, backpacks, univalves, even both vehicles business insured. It's worked well over the...

@doug atkinson :)

IMO trying to save water is a mistake. Max flow on backpack is max speed as i work as fast as the backpack delivers if you get me. That does come with years of practice though so just keep going and you'll get better. That said turning the flow down a bit while you master your technique won't...

Hi Alex. Slightly off topic but I bought two new poles from you recently. Nice to see how you've improved them since my last pair. No longer need an o clip on the hose at the top to stop it coming out the push fitting. Also the jet hose/brush connection now pop out easily - great when a...

I can recommend 'The Handy Folding Sack Truck' Virtally bomb proof and you can pick one up for about £80. Will fit in a car no problem. I'm 90% wfp and I work out of a car and have done for years. Starting with tops only is a great way to go (I did) but you'll soon find it will develop from...

I will sometimes charge a first clean price if they're particularly bad but if I've priced the maintenance clean really well, i don't mind taking a small hit on the first clean to secure the job. Are you newish to window cleaning? If so, do't worry too much about charging a first clean price...

You won't go wrong at £1.50 per standard sized window. If you're just starting out, you might want to adjust to get more quotes accepted.
