Hi all, new to site joined a few days ago so I could read some of your posts and get a feel for how you chaps get on and from what I see you a good bunch of lads!
Bit about me………..well I fell into window cleaning, traditional, with my current job. I’m a maintenance man and a part of my job is organising contractors, one problem I had was finding a good window cleaner! So bought a starter kit and started doing it myself. Then after a while started doing my own windows at home as I realised how much better I could do windows with a mop and squeegee than a spray and have slowly been asked by all the people in our cul-de-sack to do there’s. After having a good look around there just isn’t a window cleaner in our area so done a quick leaflet drop and in two months I got 103 homes asking me to clean their windows!!
Question, I can make more money window cleaning then my full time job, and I’ve worked before for myself so I know the pit falls and some people may think I’m mad leaving a good job in the current climate to start out a new business on my own but it’s a bit of a no brainer with little or no competition……..I'm going traditional as more bungalows then houses in my area so height not an issue but kit, can anyone tell me from their professional opinion, is there a better brand, type of squeegee and mops? Speed not an issue it takes as long as it takes, I want to offer the best service I can so want the best kit I can get but looking at whole sales web sites all the right ups make every make sound the best!!
Any help really appreciated many thanks /emoticons/biggrin.png
