removing water marks when using pole and squeegee

[jayjay80]

I was wondering on shopfronts, if you don't use a ladder, and just use pole and squeegee, how you touch up the tops, water, soap marks etc

just leave an inch gap when scrubbing then wagtail - never leaves soap/ water

if any soap left top of window just put your scrim on your short pole hayo

I'm guessing I have maybe 300 customers and not ONE of them says leave it all winter - But it's up to you if you need the work mate

 

[Taxlossloz]

If that pic of a skull is on your van as well? Maybe that's why they cancelled !

 

[jayjay80]

Do you think 100 customers is good for first year, I, my looking around the 200 to 300 mark, how long to expect, I used to work for a guy for 10 years beforehand but all residential, I now have wfp too and gained loads of commercial too,just they ain't keen on wfp round my way

 

[jayjay80]

/emoticons/biggrin.png No lol

 

[jayjay80]

Any advice or recommendations folks or you think I, my on target for first year

 

[boarcity]

my tip -- try to think of several diffrent ways to canvass eg facebook, getting a local loudmouth to pass on the word. flyers left on the counter in the local chinky takeaway, gumtree etc once you have several lines in the water,check up on each and tweak them regularly so you keep work rolling in

 

[jayjay80]

Just been told winter can be hard to gain work round our way and I do use gumtree too, maybe I am expecting too fast too soon

 

[boarcity]

winter it slows but not by much. another idea is to offer free window clean to someone who chatty is behind a shop counter - in return they must tell others about you every week .

 

[jayjay80]

The prices are so competitive too, the guys on my estate charge £5 for a 3 bed semi

 

[jayjay80]

I mean I have all good work, just need more, invested a lot of money into it, just want it too payback eventually

 

[cheapncheerful]

YEP....i STILL DO THREE BEDS FOR A FIVER....:rofl:

PROBS going up in the spring....one would hope...

dont forget jayjay the round you have....

you can sell so.....you already have some money back...

yep it takes time....and yep sometimes hard to get the prices...

but as I say...just keep swimming...just keep swimming...:rofl:

Where are you based ? Maybe don't bother in those estates . go for big detached properties . And change your icon it's scaring me !
