to be honest, I had zero intention of getting into window cleaning as have always had a good relationship with local WC. Though the understanding was they wouldn't get involved with what I do and I wouldn't offer what they offer.
They're standing to close then, poor technique or using a pole that isn't big enough to do the job properly.
I've never once had a bad neck from water fed pole window cleaning in all the years I've been doing it
I totally understand that you might want to branch out into windows, even more so if your not making enough with your chosen profession, the grim reality that nobody seems to be talking about, is that the cleaning market is becoming evermore flooded with new start ups, so many that it has now diluted the customer pool to nearly non existent levels, established long term cleaners whom already have a large customer base are not always aware of how bad it is.
I have been going 15 years now, i am not the cheapest and even I have started branching out into pressure washing & other work just to make ends meet, i am stuck in the industry now and always will be, i like the job so that helps but my advise if your only in it for the money, is to get out while you can.. Find something else to do, you will find that unless you are prepared to be super cheap & cut corners on cleans, you won't really be able to get the customer volume you need to break even. it's the same in every industry now, too many new starts and cowboys diluted the customer base too Zero..
Somebody once said there are plenty of windows to clean & while that's true, they forgot to add only so many owners of windows, actually want them clean & some of those again will do their own windows, & at least half of that number again won't pay for it lmao Oh Dear have i been here too long because to me it's just normal at this point.. It takes years to know how to clean windows properly tbh
that's entirely down to where you happen to live, and not applicable in many parts of the uk
It’s a free for all anyway pal. No one can tell you where you can or cannot work.
