Hi guys, I have £3.5 per metre, £2.5 on conservatories and ground level gutters, and £4 on gutters difficult to reach, and full. As I do inspection, I decide how much to charge each section based on the conditions I mentioned. It always fit into competitors flat rates, based on house style. Now...

I do not use salt or any substitution. It's winter. I made the customer's mindset that way. If ice is under their window, or on the steps, it's because is winter. That is not a kind of negligence. Take it this way - your customers keep the huge plant pots in front of the terraced doors, they...

I use this one. I have the small bottle more than 2 years in my van now. Works well, but read the instructions, as it may reacts with dark upvc, what I learned hard way. https://windowcleancentre.co.uk/products/cement-off

I use Gorilla epoxy glue. It's painful to remove the remaining bits from the carbon sections, but this happens only, if you don't sand well the plastic clamp inside. If you do, it holds ages.

Take a loan in bank and use it for the van purchase. You own the van, you can fit the machine in .. the next thing is, you can repay the bank loan anytime, anyhow. For 8-9k you can have LWB ford connect. I bought my one with 80k miles, now I have 115k. No single issue, I own the van since the...

Do you cut the edges by yourself? Are they better?

Hi guys, did you notice today's news? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/28/water-firms-push-for-bills-in-england-to-rise-by-up-to-40-per-cent-say-reports-sewage-climate

I was also surprise with the two different sizes. Especially when they are precisely cut into 2 different sizes. I use it on 7 feet pole, that's why I complain about the edges. When the side of the rubber bent, its smearing. I have to achieve zero detailing, as it is a shopfront inside 5+ metre...

Hi guys, I ordered a bunch of Moerman Liquidator NXT-R Rubbers for my 6'' channel 3.0 In the package, there are two different sizes, rather say, dimensions of the 6''/15cm rubbers. The smaller sizes fits perfectly. The bigger are junk, as they overlapping the edge of the end clips to both -...

The main thing, which is still not mentioned here, is that you have to text them evening before to keep the gate open. That's the key point (plus charging if they forget). In this way there is no or little chance they forget. I have one lady, which constantly forget too, and she paid four times...

If you decide to charge only the front at that time, customers will get use to it. Then, from time to time, if they want to save some money, they will keep it locked purposely. My wife has a cleaning company with two girls. If any of the customers for any reason do not leave the key in the box...

Every house is different, but how is possible to go over the glass only once, even on monthly cleanings? How do you remove all snail and slug trails, dust from moth's wings? These are almost on every house on at least 50% downstairs windows. Sometimes, when ivy grows to the first floor, then...

Oh yes, it takes to learn and read a books about the business ideas, experiment, grow on mistakes and so on. One famous business guru said ''Be careful from who you take the advice. Is he employee, self-employed, business owner? Never ever listen those, who are under your business hierarchy''...

I do trad and wfp since the beginning - cleaning the shopfronts after builders too. I am extremely busy, finished at 7 PM yesterday, and prepared van to this job until 8. Just that feeling when you know you are somehow right, and the customers keep arguing about the penny, while they living in...

I know, it was a kind of panic, because I cleared the Friday and Monday in my schedule, as I was convinced I will get it. It does not happen to me very often that people refuse the quote... About him, at first it was a kind of anger, but then transformed to the laugh and feeling sorry for him...

Thanks Chris, now hold on to your hat. I quoted £1050 with the offer that the roof on the conservatory won't be spotless. Is simply too old. I told her it can take possibly 2-3 days. She almost fainted, so she asked for ''deal''. Then I said I can do normal initial cleaning without bothering...

Hi guys, I was wondering how much would you charge for something like this. I quoted already the price, and was refused. Lady showed me conversation with another bloke, which offered her with lower price based on Whatsapp pictures ?‍? Conditions of the windows: All Georgian Windows, wooden...

We tend to be more slaves of the customer's ideas, than the masters of our own company policies. If I don't do something as a business, I don't do it. It's like someone is going to chinese restaurant to order a proper beef ragu. The staff with a slave mindset will learn from google in the...

Hi guys, I had a creepy guy observing our garden, where the shed with all equipment is. We called police, but you know, the justice is in our own hands these days unfortunately. We have night vision cctv, padlocks.. I am thinking to use some noisy alarm system traps and Smart Water. I do not...
