Up here in M/bro i have noticed 5 trad cleaners converting who used to say they would never want the hasstle.

a couple with the trolleys, a couple with a van.. gets, i dont class them as ompetition as i am very happy with the ammount of work i have secured. alas not my competition.

You wont see many ladder guys soon, only the newbies with no capital. when they get established they will change over

I'm a firm believer you should start trad then switch. Low start up cost and if your setup goes wrong you can crack on trad until you fix it

Same down here on the south coast mate lots going over to WFP. One guy I was talking too said he had done trad for almost 30 years but his words were people want a more complete service from a window cleaner theses days. No more leaving various Windows cos of reach over connies etc and also how most new houses being built in this area having velux they want cleaning.

Switched from trad to wfp and every day it feels like a day off

I'm in South Yorkshire (is m/bro Mexborough by any chance?) and its starting to get to the point where I'm surprised to see someone using a ladder rather than a pole. It's amazing how many people I've worked with recently who don't know how to use a squeegee. The Taylor Wimpey build near here is also telling new owners to try and get someone using a pole so they don't have to stand on the bay windows so that's making things easier

I Clean windows with wfp 3x times faster than with a blade. Also I can't clean windows with a blade 40 ft up and lot of windows I come across are a nightmare to get too. Plus I think frames get cleaned better than a rag.

Blading windows on ground floor is probably more efficient but other than that wfp all the way.

I think everyone has slated and will slate it until they've tried it

It'd become so much cheaper and more widely available to set up with a water fed pole system, I bet minus the van you could get going for the same sort of money as a traditional set up these days...

if you use the excelerator on a pole you can be just as fast as wfp. i make just as much money and sometimes more than wfp guys round here. I had a well established company work next door to me one day and we finished at the same time but i had no hose to worry about. chuck the trad pole in, drive off...
