So is it just the one battery that the pump is running off of? Or does the manifold require another?

Would be great if the app had some default pricing entered based on industry standards. Then users can either go up or down, but would give a rough starting point.

2x logics to this. He is the competition or just plain lazy

Same you don't do a portable system

Hey, do you clear out the vents at the bottom above the sills on windows?

Dude - FFS... Cleaning WINDOWS, is NOT a 'pressure wash business". Can it be part of a pressure washing business? YES. I watched your video because of the title that you selected...'Learn from me if you want to Quit your Job to start a pressure wash business.' The entire video was you rambling on about Window Cleaning and you quitting your job.. No a single shred of info about pressure washing Waste of my time and same for others who also took the click-bait. That said, I do wish you well and pressure washing is an awesome business. Been doing it for 30 years and still looking to learn something new, which is why I watched your video. Cheers, you can do better.

Do you use a pump controller to softwash with this pump?

Hello mate, great video, please please for God's same get your self a "Ladder mate" stops risk of slipping even on wet decking etc, does the same job as somone footing the ladder, the only reason that ladder didn't slip in my opinion is your stand off I think 😂😂😂 (I'm ex roofer, now Window cleaner)

Look at that system.. bravo!!!! Its like exterior cleaning porn

Hi enjoy your videos always have points of interest. I don’t understand the rational here though, as other commentator said you have to greatly increase customer numbers to match 4/8 week revenue. So unless you are struggling to sign people up for 4/8 week why go 6/12? Especially when you factor in cost of customer acquisition. You are better with less customers paying more surely? Also don’t get the Netflix comparison either; why not compare it to a meal out or trip to the cinema similarly irrelevant to a window clean service. Finally that £25 figure I presume is an average and so even more irrelevant to a Netflix comparison. I am early on my journey in this business so maybe I have missed the point? Happy to be educated!😊

If you can whizz then you can definitely squirt some water. Make sure you research chemicals before using them. Definitely use PPE.

Window cleaning is not boring per se; it's your perception. I've been cleaning windows for over 37 years and am still in love with it. Boredom comes from a boring mind.''

How do you know what percentage you are using?

😢

Love the story 👌 Its all about taking the risk and well done on your journey !!

Get a better camera for your KZbin channel Good points 👍

Love the tracksuit bottoms very professional looking😂

Crack on pal and stop being such a snow flake 😮

What a great reminder! Thank you very much!

So I asked AI to do the sums and this is the outcome. How many more customers would you need between each frequency to get the same amount of money and which ones best? You're absolutely right! To make up the revenue difference with the 6-week or 12-week cycle, you would indeed need to increase your customer base. Let's break it down clearly with that in mind: Current Model (4 and 8-week cycle): 225 customers on the 4-week cycle = £43,875 annually 75 customers on the 8-week cycle = £7,875 annually Total Revenue: £51,750 annually To Match the £51,750 Revenue with 6-week and 12-week Cycles: We need to find how many additional customers would be required to make up the £17,545 difference, and whether you’d need to expand your customer base to make that work. If you go with the 6-week cycle: Revenue per customer: £130.05 annually To make up £17,545, you'd need 136 additional customers on the 6-week cycle. So, if you are currently working with 300 customers, you'd need 136 more customers, bringing the total to 436 customers on the 6-week cycle. If you go with the 12-week cycle: Revenue per customer: £64.95 annually To make up £17,545, you'd need 271 additional customers on the 12-week cycle. This means you’d need 271 more customers, bringing your total to 571 customers on the 12-week cycle. --- Conclusion: To make up the £17,545 revenue difference: With the 6-week cycle, you need 436 customers (a total of 136 new customers). With the 12-week cycle, you need 571 customers (a total of 271 new customers). Which is best? The 6-week cycle still makes the most sense because you need fewer additional customers (136 vs 271) to match the revenue. But yes, you would have to increase your customer base significantly for either option to work effectively. The 6-week cycle is more efficient, requiring fewer customers for the same revenue target, but both options require growing your customer base.

Interesting, I had watched PK's vid. Knowing how expensive it is to gain customers and how valuable they are, are you annoyed that you sold your window cleaning round?

"Honestly, I just stumbled across your channel and this video, and I have to say it feels overly long and unnecessary. Some window cleaners stick to a four-week schedule for consistent cash flow. Personally, I offer both four- and eight-week options, but the eight-week service costs 50% more-for example, if a typical four-week clean is £15, then an eight-week clean would be £22.50. The comparison with Netflix seems irrelevant here. When I started, I based my pricing on the cost of a haircut, which should be a minimum benchmark. Most barbers now charge around £20, so that should be the minimum for a four-week clean in 2024, with £30 for an eight-week clean. It’s not about making things easier for customers-they’ll sign up regardless. Offering too many options can be overwhelming; it’s best to stick to a simple choice of either every four or eight weeks. Everyone views Priory Window Cleaning through rose-tinted glasses. Yes, they’ve done extremely well, but consider the area they serve-London. There’s a significant difference between that demographic and a place like Birmingham. I work in one of the areas in Northern Ireland with the lowest income per capita, and honestly, it doesn’t make much difference-people sign up because they don’t want to clean the windows themselves. They’re willing to pay us to handle it for them; essentially, they’re buying their own time."

Great videos #subscribed

I never advertise as a gardener. My books are full. Regular customers every week or two weeks with the occasional odd one off job. I was horrified at my mate who installs paving at his advertising costs. His problem is he installs paving and never sees them again. I've said to him that he needs to have a six monthly maintenance program for them. I think this is the difference between seeing customers every week or month for window cleaning to cleaning the exterior once a year or less.

How old are you mate ?

A good window cleaning round with reliable customers acts as a great basis for attracting custom for other services. We all have different circumstances and different aims for our business’s , I wish you the best of luck, I’ve only just found your channel , I’ve just started to make a little bit of content also mainly just to open up lines of communication with other people in the industry👍🏻

Blah blah blah. Any business you start is going to be a lot of work and you're probably going to be putting in 14 to 16 hour work days getting it off the ground. Starting a business is not a 9:00 to 5:00 and think that you're going to be able to make buttloads of money. It's going to be a lot of hard work and you're going to have to do a lot of hustling and acquire skills that you currently don't have. You have to be able to pivot and adapt. I bet if I followed you around like a fly on the wall I would realize that you have several things you're probably not doing to make yourself successful. You don't need to invest a ton of money to get started in this. But you are going to have to invest a lot of time which is your most valuable asset. Marketing and customer acquisition is going to be your hardest thing no matter what business you do. Get out there and hustle. If you have the drive you can make it work. I've had three businesses and this will be the fourth. You can do it but I won't be easy.

How does it turn?

Not an expert but oil on HP fittings is a no no?

Would a online service not be able to book people in

If you get a well paying softwash job, you go home and had a good days work. The next morning your chasing the fix again. With a round you can fine tune it over months and years so you havea good day every day.

Great video.I speak to ALOT of people going into business or looking to go into business and they all ask the same thing, HOW DO THEY GET CUSTOMERS. Now here is the issue, some say, go door knocking, alhough thats good advice, its advice with zero substance. Id like to see a video that covers (door knocking) How many doors does it take to knock before you get a YES, what if thats someone elses round? these points are NEVER covered and thats just one subject. Flyers, why flyers and not postcards? how many flyers will you need to post before you get a response, How do you deliver them, do you hire the royal mail hds? local paper deliveries or walk? If you did videos covering these topics you'll be seen as an expert who reallt does offer value I hope that makes sense

Interesting. Can ai help too?

I just us a tank of pure water. I make up a bucket of water and no nonsense degrees. Put my brush in the mix . Raise my pole wet the area im cleaning without the brush contacting the plastics. The start brushing with the detergent it cuts through the crap like a hot knife through butter . I can do all the plastics rough clean. Oh i rinse obviously as i go along. After the initial clean. I check for the odd part . You really don't need that much water . I do take longer but i do a thorough job . No drip marks . No spider nests behind brackets of gutters. I don't pre wet the windows. I don't feel its necessary. But we all find are own solutions.

This guy pretty much said don't start any business at all, go work at McDonald's because your too dumb, to weak, and to lazy to start any kind of business at all. Power washing is one of the cheapest and easiest business to start period. Don't listen to this negativity you can do anything if you put the work in and set your mind to it

I run as 2 businesses essentially Have a guy doing windows which I make a passive income from and then I do the pressure washing etc myself However I do have a small round of good window cleaning jobs that I have kept for myself as it keeps me busy when the pressure washing is quiet Seems a perfect balance for me

So can you buy goods to the value of £20,000 VAT, and sell £20,000 of total VAT jobs and it will equal out to zero?

Create two business. One vat registered and one not. You get the best of both worlds

Young man. no disrespect given but I have been using the vac system since it was first invented and putting your pricing of £300 in 3 hours on KZbin does no one in the industry any favor and it looks really crass

It's my understanding as a newly VAT-registered business in the UK, you can reclaim VAT on goods purchased up to four years before your registration date, provided certain conditions are met: 1).Goods must be for business use: The items should have been acquired for business purposes and still be in your possession at the time of registration. 2.) Goods must be on hand: You must still have the goods or they must have been used to create other goods that you still hold. 3.) Valid VAT invoices: Ensure you have valid VAT invoices or receipts for these purchases.

From an admin perspective is there any software package you recommended to manage payment schedules? You mentioned 'go cardless', is that a UK thing?

Found it thanks

Can you put the video back on that shows how to move large puddles with a power washer pls mate

I'm surprised the lichen didn't come off with the fsc and steam (60DegC). Don't you worry about your eyes and lungs? It's up to you but you need your health to earn! Some great tips there, thanks.

If you set out to make a 'How not to roof clean' video, you did a great job!

What was the mix ratio mate and could you put it up there with softwash gun but wash down with a power pole

Easy fix just filter your water on the way out, that way you can use the large tank for SW and W/cleaning, rinse the soffits of pinch the hose and run the brush along to get rid of the droplets.👍

Absolutely crazy video. no PPE while spraying SH. its was going all over you. You should appreciate your health more.

Brushing is the best way to do it.

where can i buy the equipment for roof washing
