I read it wrong, I thought it said every 2 weeks lol. I actualy pay more than 150 every 2 year. I need a licences for the 2 areas I work so it comes too 280 every 2 year. Although you cant get 2 year licences here. It's 1 or 3 year. I just got one years ones as I didnt know if all would work out but il be buying the 3 year ones next year. that should cost about 250Why not MK ?

I had a criminal record, Ive got 3 charges on mine. I still got a licence, IF you have a recored for breaking and entering or mugging old people etc. Then you wont get one lol.a license wont weed out the cowboys at all, its not the fact people are uninsured or on the dole that makes them a bad window cleaner, in fact i know more 'professional cowboys' ones that are insured and registered ect but cut corners, miss windows etc.
there are loads of old boys out there that have been cleaning windows for 20/30 years and have a loyal customer base and do a great job, but there not insured, registered or licensed, but the customers are happy.
it would just be used to generate revenue for the government.
also, i have a criminal record from some things i did when i was younger, i dont think this should stop me from cleaning peoples windows!
I dont think it would matter, even if they did reject it, if you put in an apeal. then give it to you straight away. Councils alway love avoiding court! When I first started I didnt think I was going to get one, I was planning on phoning my local paper lolyh thats fair enough then, although i did have some serious ones on there,(nothing to do with mugging old ladys or anything like that), but that was one of the things that made me decide to take up window cleaning, the fact that it was a viable way to earn an honest living after i had turned things in my life around, good window cleaners come from all walks of life
I didnt say it would work, it was an idea lol. It is a money maker but it also gives people peace of mind, if you have a licence, you have insurance! There not going to give an ex -con a licence lollol, so whats the point in having them then? if anyone can get one if they appeal then its used as a revenue generator, as long as you can afford the license you will get it
Due to the amount of houses they visit, people do sometimes ask for there insides to be cleaned, people also have a bad habbit of not locking there doors (there own fault i know)thats my point, im an ex-con, but im the most honest and trustworthy window cleaner you could meet, i agree with insurance being a requirement, just not a criminal record check, you wouldnt need a police check to be a window fitter, or a gardener or any other normal job, only if your working with vunerable people, like in a care home or a school, so why should a window cleaner be subject to such strict conditions?
it all depends on the jobs you do, i have a crb check and that allows me access to elderly warden contorolled houses and flats, plus other things like nusery's lower schools etc.yh but its not the norm is it, there is no justifiable reason why a domestic self employed window cleaner should have to be crb checked IMO!
