Window Cleaners making £400 a day

[Goaty]

It just seems incomplete, for the price and in the interest of good service I think I'd take it away. Not a massive issue but still niggles. £90 for an hours work, mine did the same, the bag split and I guess that's what makes me see it in a negative light. Getting rid, just take it to the local commercial tip.

Got to agree, only cleaners that get paid a low rate put rubbish in your bin. If you chop a tree done and leave it for them. Its usually reflected in the price.

To be fair tho anything up to a hour with a stump grinder can earn u up to £150 very easily

Bit of price investment difference between a towing vehicle, stump grinder and fuel etc. and a van with a ladder, bucket and a squeegee though.

My brother is a window cleaner in Northumberland.

 

I doubt he made £400/week this winter, possibly a month.

 

It's easy to look at other trades and think 'he's coining it', but the truth is nearly always different.

 

My mate owns a hot air balloon company, and I used to see him fly 20 passengers a day at £150 each and think 'Wow!'.

 

Not wow!

 

I've earned £1k/day doing trees, but it's rare. Very rare. (I'm not talking about big contract machinery set ups).

 

If simple setups like window cleaners and sweeps earning mega bucks bother anyone, feel free to go and do it. It's never as simple as it looks, and pub talk always quotes the golden weeks.

 

I'm lucky. My wife is a prostitute.

Very true but like ic trees says if you want a steady away boring job have ago at window cleaning. My dads a commercial electrician just to turn up he's on £30 per hour and for PAC testing he's on anything between £300-£700 a day but it's what you enjoy doing money is not everything he thinks I'm crackers doing tree work because gear is so expensive and profit can be hard to find

How much for a do mark? Mates rates of course not window cleaning rates.
