Often find those potential customers , who need to speak it over with a partner, are the ones i try to avoid ! They rarely stay a regular customer & are absolute pains! Fine advice as always Ashley 👍
Every 4weeks is the way to clean regular....4weeks times by 12 = 48weeks...take 2weeks for Christmas and 2 for summer make up your 52 week calendar year😀...I do a few big houses every 8weeks but they are over priced abit so I don’t mind...Nice vid👍
Cloth Man! Thanks. My schedule isn’t as precise as that. With the extra services I offer I’m always getting asked to do other things, which I like as it’s where I make money. I don’t get too behind though, my customers know I will be round soon enough.😃👍🏼
Really good advice, many points I have developed in the 11 years I've been cleaning for so it's nice to see similar methods from someone else in the trade.
If new jobs are really dirty I charge a higher one off price to get them clean but offer a lesser price for periodic maintenance cleans thereafter, this is discussed in the quote. Obviously if the windows, frames etc are fairly clean I only quote a maintenance clean price.
I like your videos most informative. I've just bought the sky vac atom, a good little machine. The reason I got it was ladders can get to every area. Plus its dangerous. Anyhow I was .most impressed on how you carry out your work. All the best. John A Jenkins
Hi Ashley do you charge any extra for 6 and 8 weekly cleans as they can be a pain when they clash with your regular monthly customers and also the windows are dirtier. Thanks
Gordon S All my work is either monthly (5wk) or every 2months (10wk). I have a few that are done every 3months but I try to discourage that, and that’s when I would start charging a bit more.😃👍🏼
have a question what is the best was to price an apartment block say 5 floors and 30 windows across on all floors all the way around and 2 stairwells glass from top to bottom
Work out how much per drop/ column of windows. So let’s say you charge £1 for the ground floor, £2 for the one above it, £3 for the one above that, and so on. Then go round and count the number of drops/columns in the block.😃👍🏼
one more question for you Ashley its probably a silly one. But when your changing your resin do u empty the bottle fully or do you keep any of the used resin in it.
Hello Ashley Unless you need the work or you are building a round this is the wrong way to go regular cleaning not every now and again. I think you did compromise your price you've gone from £25 every month to £12.50 a month By the time you take holidays and bad weather in to account you may do 4 cleans a year. The customer won't get used to having nice clean Windows or to seeing you, each time you turn up they probably wonder who you are. They will have dirty Windows for 8 to 9 weeks at a time. The Windows only stay clean depending on the weather for 2-3 weeks then the dirt starts to build. Only my opinion my family as been cleaning Windows since 1984 We work every 4 weeks 10 to 11 cleans per house per year with holidays and weather taken into account That one house you get £100 to £125 I get £250 - £275 I need less customers And not a customer who spends most of the year with dirty Windows and as soon as they need to cut anything it's the window cleaner as we don't notice what they do anyways Thanks Andy
andrew kerrigan I make my recommendation to the customer and then it’s up to them. I need more customers to fill my time but actually that means more potential for being asked to do additional jobs. So I don’t mind.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh If you're building your work any job will do 😁 On a long term basis if you have dirty Windows most of the time you wouldn't notice when there Clean If your Windows are cleaned on a regular basis you notice when they start to get dirty People know when I will Be there every 4 weeks same day if possible 9 times out of 10 i will be there on the same day 10- 12 weeks down the road nobody's got a clue when I will Be there I've got customers who've said my window cleaner came every 2 months 3-4 cleans down the road and they expect me every 4 weeks nice clean Windows and frames all the time I never want to know any other window cleaners price I have my price and my time frame Regular reliable That's how my family as been cleaning Windows for the last 35yrs All the best
andrew kerrigan yeah I find the majority of new customers I pick up want them done every 4 weeks rather than 2. Great doing fortnightly though they’re hardly dirty 😂
It’s funny how the people that say my house is the same as this one never have less windows 🤔
Great video as always 👍
Squeaky Clean Dave You’re right.😃👍🏼
Great example of fair and friendly customer service😉🤗!
Heather The Window Woman Thanks.😃👍🏼

Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you find the channel useful, and I’m glad you like the Atom.😎👍🏼

Thanks. Hope it helps.
Hi Ashley
I know it’s bit of a random question but where do you get your work wear ? I’m just getting back into the business after 20 years
Neil Drewitt A place local to me called MyBusinessWorkWear. 😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley do you charge any extra for 6 and 8 weekly cleans as they can be a pain when they clash with your regular monthly customers and also the windows are dirtier. Thanks

Quilty help. Can I ask you from where you get your work clothes? I'm looking for something more presentable than vistaprint shirts or polos.
TheMrJurand2 Thanks. My work clothes just come from a little local place to me, mybusinessworkwear.com

Change the whole lot.😃👍🏼

Hello Ashley
Unless you need the work or you are building a round this is the wrong way to go regular cleaning not every now and again.
I think you did compromise your price you've gone from £25 every month to £12.50 a month
By the time you take holidays and bad weather in to account you may do 4 cleans a year.
The customer won't get used to having nice clean Windows or to seeing you, each time you turn up they probably wonder who you are.
They will have dirty Windows for 8 to 9 weeks at a time.
The Windows only stay clean depending on the weather for 2-3 weeks then the dirt starts to build.
Only my opinion my family as been cleaning Windows since 1984
We work every 4 weeks 10 to 11 cleans per house per year with holidays and weather taken into account
That one house you get £100 to £125
I get £250 - £275
I need less customers
And not a customer who spends most of the year with dirty Windows and as soon as they need to cut anything it's the window cleaner as we don't notice what they do anyways
Thanks Andy
andrew kerrigan I make my recommendation to the customer and then it’s up to them. I need more customers to fill my time but actually that means more potential for being asked to do additional jobs. So I don’t mind.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh
If you're building your work any job will do 😁
On a long term basis
if you have dirty Windows most of the time you wouldn't notice when there Clean
If your Windows are cleaned on a regular basis you notice when they start to get dirty
People know when I will Be there every 4 weeks same day if possible 9 times out of 10 i will be there on the same day
10- 12 weeks down the road nobody's got a clue when I will Be there
I've got customers who've said my window cleaner came every 2 months
3-4 cleans down the road and they expect me every 4 weeks nice clean Windows and frames all the time
I never want to know any other window cleaners price
I have my price and my time frame
Regular reliable
That's how my family as been cleaning Windows for the last 35yrs
All the best
😃👍🏼
🤘🏻
Anyone clean fortnightly or just me?
grant scott I do a few commercial jobs every two weeks.😃👍🏼
We live in cornwall all our work every 4 weeks
My dad started window cleaning in Lancashire along time ago
All the work was every 2 weeks back then
andrew kerrigan yeah I find the majority of new customers I pick up want them done every 4 weeks rather than 2. Great doing fortnightly though they’re hardly dirty 😂
Got loads of 2 wks work. But my 4 wks work is better priced
