I'm thinking this No Ladder pole work is an Edge over the competition. Give it the old this is the Future Love routine & Wahaaay
 Drop in the No chance of damage to your guttering/house/extension like with those Dodgey ladder dudes & ease my way onto the window cleaning circuit of Hinckley  May have to fight off a few local cleaners but i will be tooled up with my 18ft extension pole so they will be dealt with Luke Skywalker style  Be funny if we have a Window cleaning war & it kicks off enough to get on Local news. I'll paint my pole a Lumi colour & make sound effect noises when they interview me Or it will come to Nowt & I'll FAIL & Die unemployed. Here Lies Malc30 Lived on the Dole, Died on the Dole

Should help you a bit dude since I live not far from you. He might have put the price up since 1 of our dogs took a dislike to him and tried to bite him

Sorry, I wouldn't even think of having someone come clean my windows for me. They'd waste more in petrol getting here than they'd actually make doing the work.

No, we used to and he charged about £12. He went into carpet cleaning and I didn't like the new bloke that took over so now the windows stay dirty

Do you have one ?
No but my Ma and Pa had one before they moved... so I will answer from their perspective! How Often ? Once every month/2 months  How much does he Charge ? £20 How Big is your House ? Huge it was. Downstairs: 2 patio windows (he'd do outside AND inside for us), Front door with HUGE window next to it, back door, 3 sets of "large windows" (three-four windows in each set) and 2 single ones. Upstairs: A Patio door (balcony - once again he'd do inside and out), three sets of "large windows", two single windows. How long does he spend on them ? About 30 minutes... he was quick but good. And then he'd have a cuppa and chat for about an hour Does he include the Plastics in the price ? (Frames/Plaggy Door etc) All wooden framing so no... Why did you pick this Window cleaner or Did he pick you ? He had worked our road when we first moved there (or at least a couple of the houses). Ma saw him, collared him and bobs-your-uncle, he became our window cleaner Rob. Nice man, 3 kiddies and a superb wife! *wonder if he knows Ma and Pa have moved....* He would normally just come and do them and leave a note in the door if we weren't in. We'd say "see you in a month" and he'd be back in roughly a month! Good man!Why do you ask dear maclyo!? |
