That's true, they might just have to change there mind after few months of dirty windows!!

Ur right how would u be able to store a lot of rain water? Might have to try that river out near you to keep ur eco name!

I would imagine the local water company would have something to say about nicking water out the river .

Borrowing the water, some goes back into the drains!

Does water in a river belong to the land and there for anyone?

Regarding licensing....

Unfortunately quite a few rouges give professional window cleaners a bad reputation. More so now because of so many being out of work as is an easy way to earn cash. UK licensing might help as in Scotland but the authorities would still have to catch them first to warn/prosecute them if required.

 


I for one would be in favour for UK licensing if it helps to improve our image.

 

[CNS-southwest]

Me too, maybe we could do a petition?

It doesn't belong to the water companies mate, they have to pay to take water from rivers.
I think the british public own the rivers and they're managed by British Waterways who changed the name but can't remember what to, canal trust or something similar.

if that happened id quit window cleaning, im a trad cleaner and always will be, as for licensing its a nice idea but would only get used as a revenue generator, plus id be concerned over whatever restrictions they put on the license

Only for Scotland, we have to be Police checked before trading.

No licensing here in South Ayrshire.

The place is flooded with window cleaners from all over the west of scotland.

Yeah it's completely optional for councils to charge the licence fee, it really just up to them if they want the hassle, but if they decide they do, then its the law that you must comply. Bit of a money making scheme for them if you ask me. 26 council areas in Scotland are licenced, but there are a 6 areas that aren't.

You're not a million miles for me mate, are you rained off there as well?

Yes there is licensing in South Ayrshire, it has one of the best records for licensing with a top class enforcement officer who works with local licensed window cleaners.

Never been notified. I pushed for licensing a couple of years ago and got absolutely nowhere. East and North Ayrshire are both licensed.

Fair play, i for one would like it country wide, I think it would leave window cleaning to the dedicated cleaners

Licensing might also help weed out creeps like this:

Not really he did that when he wasn't on the glass according to that.

They could only charge him with the photos where the victims could be traced. He took hundreds while `on the glass`. Was a well documented case locally.
