I'm probably stating some obvious stuff here but yell.com give you a free listing, only gives me one call a week on average but ok seeing as it's for free...then there's always the opportunity to knock the rest of the road when the lead comes in and ask "sorry to disturb but I've just been asked to clean your neighbour at number whatever, just checking to see if anyone else in the road would like their windows cleaned"...it would be a real bad day if I didn't pick up at least a few...Thomsons Local will also put a free listing in...You probably need to get a few more than hopefully the work will snowball, that's how the majority of my new work is generated, happened again today, approached by a new customer when I was cleaning his neighbour, I thought it was a ball ache just doing one house in a road, now I have two that generate £50 between them so worth doing...I'm probably fortunate to live in the Southdowns National Park as there are a lot of decent sized, wealthy villages and an apparent shortage of Windies...if prices are poor in Wakefield and the market saturated it might be worth a thirty minute drive to find somewhere affluent with less competition.
