Outofnowhere 93 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 The Mrs is giving me grief about the windows. Anyone recommend me one of those extendable poles the professional lads use with a hose going up the outside with a brush on to clean the upstairs windows with please. Its only me so I don't want one that's going to cost a kings ransom. Anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,395 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 To think i moan at £6.50 every fortnight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsteve9999 456 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I've been paying our window cleaner 3 quid a fortnight to do our house front and back for over 20 years now, it hasn't gone up once in all that time. He hasnt got one of those pole things, just an old fashioned ladder and cloth, but it works for him. He must be the only window cleaner in the country with a waiting list of people begging him to clean their windows 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 23,680 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 When we left school one of my mates dads paid a huge sum to buy him a window cleaning round I think he paid either £125 or £150 quid for the round,he is still doing it,as is one of his own sons now. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,303 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Theirs a guy round here charges 5 a window. Crazy some people use in at that price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsteve9999 456 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 it only takes him 10 mins or so and he does virtually the whole street in a day so he's on 15-18 quid an hour I reckon. not that shabby especially as its all cash in hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peterhunter86 8,627 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 My window cleaner charges 15 euro back and front he's been doing ours over a year and hasn't charged once, we got him some customers and we usually have a few new one's every time he knocks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
