Shop Fronts?

[Gavin]

Thats exactly why I do my little 5quid job. A fiver isnt even worth stopping the van for, but it gets me and my uniform seen around town. The last time I did the windows I even soaped them up twice so the job lasted a bit longer./emoticons/biggrin.png

Ha yeah I used to take a bit of time. Waggle the pole around a bit make sure my tshirt. With name etc was in full view. Say hello to everyone who I caught eye contact with. It all helps! /emoticons/smile.png

Yep, its almost a perfomance. I even draw a massive 'A' in the soap. I shall name it 'Bubble Branding' /emoticons/biggrin.png

[Cghwindowcleaning]

Stevenage is saturated with window cleaners don't get wrong there's plenty of work out there and with Courtney moving his unit down here and providing water there is only going to be more ,there's some good lads about.

Gcs is that Geoff or gjan?he had loads of work and a lot of subbies about 10years ago before he sold up.

 

[Dave B]

Yeah that's the fella

I find that there is plenty of work round here

The amount of houses in the town there is plenty for everyone

I know a lot of windies round here from the days of working for Geoff

 

[Cghwindowcleaning]

Exactly there's loads out there and once your established you never lose any work no matter how many times your work gets canvassed.I pass work on to people like Mark and a few others as I don't do much domestic work in Stevenage.

 

[Dave B]

Where do you work mostly then?

 

[Cghwindowcleaning]

I'm mainly commercial I do a little bit of domestic in Stevenage the main bit of residential I do is in Knebworth and mardley.

The main bit of my work which is commercial is Stevenage,Hitchin,Welwyn.

 

[Dave B]

I do a bit in Knebworth. .keiths wood and park lane

Do a bit in aston too ..the good houses like yeomans drive

Nice big drums worth a few quid to do

 

[Jon Grainger]

I always find any work I've canvassed for in Norwich, are all taken. Just having a wander round the city centre and you see the same three or four guys cleaning the same shops. How do you guys avoid this without undercutting?

 

[SPCleaning]

Thanks for your replies Guys. Food for thought indeed.
