Male/Female window cleaners

mupps · May 29, 2019

Just interested to see how many female window cleaners there are on this forum. My wife helps me from time to time and her daughter also, and there are two female window cleaners near to me as well. The industry generally seems to be a male environment. Thoughts and comments please.

We did have Baccy and Shazza here when I joined and I know one other in Leicester and one in Mansfield. The industry is still male dominated as ladder work was not the cup of tea of most women. I think it's that simple. It may change now we evolve into the WFP world more but we shall see. Also traditionally outdoor work has been more male driven as many ladies wont care for harsh winters.

During WW2 however the industry was dominated by ladies carrying ladders.

Interesting Darren.... those ladders don't look anywhere near as sturdy as the ladders of today ?. Thanks for the info though....??
