Hi Rob smooth work as always , I’m still trying to master the not over cleaning !!! I’ve just politely dropped a customer for skipping/not wanting to leave her gate unlocked , most of my Work is 8 weekly so i decided I wasn’t doing cleans every 16weeks,if they are generally good customers i dont mind , is most of your work 4 weekly ? I found 8 weekly alllowed me to Grow my customers and make Room for them in the time I have available and it wasn’t too frequent for them Either but horses for courses and all that !
Hi Rob. Really enjoying your channel. We barely get any skips. We organise all our customers into rounds. Then clean them in order. We just let our customers know its monthly. If there is restrictions with access, we don't send reminders. We ask to cut a copy of any keys, or it's no service. We just keep a box of keys in the van for locked gates. Our welcome flyers, let's customers know we need 48 hours notice or its a cancellation fee. Much the same as a dentist or many other businesses. I feel your being too nice, and it's costing you. There is no right or wrong way, of course. This is just how we deal with it. All the best from Scotland.
Hey Rob. Nice to see you being a bit quicker on the glass and not over cleaning.
Thanks Matt does make a difference overall, just got to keep it that way lol 😜
Great informative video can I ask where you get the bright solution from?
Thank you, I got the brite from a place called Huge Crane. You can get it from Amazon but you buy a twin pack.
@@CrystalCleanWindows thank mate. Will check it out
I’m thinking of starting a window cleaning business I like your videos, nice and honest. Have a subscriber, nearly at 1k then you can monetise
Window cleaning is a great business to start. You get regular income and you can upsell other service to your customer base. It’s not as easy as some people think but with a bit of motivation and planning it’s possible.
You guys work so hard, it's disappointing that your round is so spread out. I assume you have tried targeting the bigger towns and villages to try and compact your customers? I know it's difficult and you feel guilty about dropping good loyal customers but it's your living and you want to be comfortable not scraping a living.
Hi Ched thank you 🙏 some days are brilliant and some days are harder to do. I try and get my work as compact as I can. I am looking at pricing better but without being to high. Also looking at a minimum charge too.
@@CrystalCleanWindows Finding the pricing balance is hard. It does depend a bit on how full you are. If you are getting to a full round then new enquiries could be priced higher. I aim to get about 80% of my window cleaning quotes. Minimum charge is a good idea especially as you have 3 in the van, but set it at a decent rate, I have a set amount that covers setup and pack up time, then a per window price (well a window and a large window price) with a minimum of £15.
Great info..
Thank you 🙏 glad it was helpful!
Nice vid Rob👍 on the next one can you show what speed you tend to have your flow rate on mate, you seem to clean the sills a lot quicker that I can it seems to take forever to stop bits of wet dirt seeping back onto the clean sill👎👎👎 Don’t know if my flow rate isn’t high enough
Thank you 🙏 I have my flow rate set to 50 at the moment. I used to be on 30 then had it set to 40 for a while. The flow rate though depends on each person’s set up. A good way to find out the flow rate for you would be to use a bucket and your phone as a timer. Change the flow rate settings until you can get 2 litres in a bucket in a minute. For me that is 50 psi. But this will be different on set ups as depends on hose size, how old the pump is type of jets on your brush etc
Have a watch back of one of the lives Rob did where he discussed flow rates.
I would of charged £120.00 just for the conny roof you should be charging minimum of £80.00 for that roof
It wasn't a one off roof clean it is a regular clean alongside the window cleaning. Just to keep the moss and that at bay. My arms felt like they had been lifting 120lb lol 😂
@@CrystalCleanWindows haha 🤣
Nice work guys that first conny roof looked hard graft, I statically underpriced a glass roof I used to do, I didn’t have the nuts to up the price to what it should Have been so Ended up politely dropping the customer 🫣keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thank you, yeah that roof can be an arm buster yet satisfying to get out of the way. Probably not ideal to have as the first clean of the day 🤣 It is a early on customer and probably still under priced however they are great customers and pay before i have finished. It's not easy when it comes to pricing.
That was some arm wrenching conny roof!!! It's such a pity your jobs are so spread out. I would guess you could be hitting almost double what you did on this day with a compact round but you have to work with what you have. I have some early customers that are way under priced too but I feel bad about raising them to where they should be. Great to see some tricky jobs - not many people are willing to show those.
Cheers Ched I used to dread that job lol 😂 but I like a few tricky jobs as it kinda tests you. I know what you mean about early customers, they got you started and have been loyal. Loyalty should work both ways. Regular work is important to have a monthly income. Being reasonably priced might mean you are working hard but also you’ll have years of working even through the hard times.
Nice content easy to follow thank you. Re van branding and customer contacting you from details on van which do they prefer to use phone, Text, Email or social.
Thank you 🙏 the people who get in touch from seeing the van are mainly text messages, next one after that would be email. I would say social are direct from social media not from the van. Hope that helps.
Wow. Your arms must have ached after that day. Some real stretches. Good video as always.
Haha 😛 it does test my age! It was one of my early customers and I way under priced it. Said I would give it a go and find out if it is something I can do. After the first time I cleaned it they put the price up and I have done it ever since.
It's great when you have a good days work that goes well, i know working as a three is not as efficient as have two vans. But this is how we work for now, to grow i need another van on the road Sophie has plans to move.
No offence intended but theres something really wrong if you are living this hand to mouth with an established business. Either way too many outgoings or underpriced. That said working 3 in a van is terribly inefficent. Ive never needed to work a bank holiday in the 10 yrs ive been window cleaning. I work 4 days a week 6 hours a day and dont spend everything i earn therefore slowly build up a savings pot over time. I never stress about having a holiday or the weather as i work in all weathers all year round.
No offence taken mate, it is certainly something we keep asking ourselves. Probably a lot of underpriced work. Looking at changing a few things to start the new tax year, just getting them all in place at the moment. I Agree with 3 man team but I only have one van. Sophie will be moving away at some point but that is all on hold at the moment, so I am in limbo.
Are you 100 % sure that working in 3 ´s is the best way to go ? From my experience of working in pairs... You can earn much more when working alone in most or many cases than if you can in pairs let alone triples.. But you can only do that if you have extra vans on the road. 3 single drivers could earn much more than 1 driver but again it depends on the amount of traveling....In a city it would be much wiser to go alone if making money is your goal ! I would contemplate this or give it ago at least for a few days..... 3 drivers as an example would mean you would be expanding less energy , earning more money and working less hours on the job itself
Good point and i would agree with you, but my daughter will be moving away soon and she doesn't like driving. Matthew i think would one day drive but he isn't ken to drive the van about yet. I was looking at getting my wife to drive one van and i drive the other one. Thinking two teams of two in both vans, we didn't get a loan for another van and system because of the cost of living crisis. Wanted to see how it all went before committing to another loan. Need a loan at the moment to get a new soakaway, so a second van will have to wait for know!
Do you work bank holidays when you need to earn more money?
Do you work bank holidays when you need to earn more money?
Hi Rob, hope you’re well mate! Are you planning on picking up the ‘day in the life’ type videos? I love watching how other people work and picking up tips/tricks etc. You put so much time and effort into these live videos and although they appeal to a small audience they get a lot less views. I for one love watching the cleaning vids!!Just a thought/request mate🤞👍
Thank you for the comment and suggestion, i do like trying to make the day in a life videos. I would like to do one a week to be honest.
I literally got some stuff on my glasses that I can't get off. It's got to be what you're talking about. It didn't start until I started cleaning with my rodi with them
Will be interesting to see if this has happened to anyone else! I don't get this problem as i have a delivery set-up.
Sorry I missed the live. Hope you get the work done today. Sometime you have to do what’s needed to get the work done and keep the customers happy.
No problem Matt mate, had a couple of dramas today! Wish i was filming the day, Industrial 85 stopped working on me. Changed fuses, actually in the field stripped the head apart and removed the three motors. Managed to do it and get it all put back together as well. But found out it was a blockage in the hoses that caused it all. Pine needles which are very light so the hoses didn't feel like it was blocked. Once sorted it ran well, all happened on the first job. Battled through and got all the work complete.
@@CrystalCleanWindows what a nightmare. Yeah pine needles are the worst.

Hi Rob, I’m Guilty of over cleaning , double checking and faffing about !! I’ve tried to tweek to things a bit to speed up but at the same time it’s worked so far and enabled me to keep the customers I have and get recommended, guess it’s just finding that balance , I think we will always be our own worse critics , I’m sure the customers don’t notice half of what we would spot when checking our work, keep up the good work 👍🏻 Ps I have vowed never to do builders cleans again!! Each to their own though
I think your spot on there lol 😜 It has sped me up this last two weeks but i still have a good look to check. It certainly feels strange changing a habit.
Never seen it not used on the bikes before
Honestly it comes in very handy with the window cleaning!
Hi Robb. Spot on the right water flow for the job is key Not pressure. The ideal is the right flow rate at the lowest pressure so a larger ID hose will carry more water at a lower pressure . The ideal is a curtain of water flowing across the glass. To much flow at high pressure can see water bouncing of the glass and pull debris of the window surround. Also agree that the larger teh ID hose the less strain is placed on the pump. A controller allows the pump to work only as heard as is needed saving battery power and water
Thanks Ian good article on the blog and video with Squaky Clean Dave. Great food for thought and a subject that will interest a lot of window cleaners. I have your email mate, will get back to you. Thank you 🙏
@@CrystalCleanWindows There is a mystic around Flow - pressure and the more information regard water volume the better.
Nice video
Thank you 🙏
The thing that will speed you up the most is having a second van, the problem with having 3 people in the van is that you end up having significantly more downtime, with packing up and setting up. One person on a house is a lot more efficient as most of their time is spent actually cleaning.
I have talked about a second van for a couple of years lol. But Sophie will be moving away soon. Something has come up to put that in limbo but she will move away. So that’s why I haven’t took the plunge.
Best maintenance clean to do quick and check the results are your own
You’re right but I have had a few pointers and applied them. All trial and error at the end of the day. As long as your customers and you are happy.
thats decent, I only do 10 max in a round! on my own though ha
I’d say 10 on your own is good going. Also houses are different sizes to be honest. As long as you hit your daily targets and pay the bills. You’re doing well.
Another great video. I always use a TFR now in the backpack and a separate pole with a spray nozzle on. I think it saves more time than it takes to set up the extra pole. Do you use your window cleaning brush on the gutters?
I used to do that but now I just stick with pure water as there are 3 of us working. We use our brushes on the gutters mate.
I loved to hear Matt's story of how he got into and built up window cleaning. I think he has done really well and is a great imspiration for those thinking about getting into window cleaning.
Off optic, but you mentioned Solar panels. Do you isolate solars? I never have but read something recently that said you should 😱
For me i never have done that mate to be honest. I have seen people saying this. It is food for thought and needs looking into.
Really interesting here. I use a flow rate of 50 with a trolley system with a hose reel attached. I get through too much water so investing in a van system.
We tried 50 psi on the 45 Litre trolly, Sophie fely she was using to much water. I think with a van mounted system 50 psi will be good as you have the water for a days work. Adivce i have been given is that 500 litre tank is not for a 2 man set-up. Should be enough for one person though.
Just watched this back through. Was a good chat but I kept talking over you. Sorry mate.
Matt you were great and people loved your story buddy. It was a pleasure having you on the Live and the time flew by
I literally use the nylon $80 brush with pencil jets and I use my junior trad pole that I set up as a waterfed pole system with a 30 ft line connected to it with a quick connect. Anything that is first story or ranch. I use this first and foremost light. Easy to maneuver. No fatigue. Same results and it's a cheap setup for first floor window cleaning
If it works do not break it 👍 I know when things are tight it is amazing what you can do with what you have to make ends meet.
I like this hack, my channel is dedicated to mostly modifications, you may like it. Please let me know. youtube.com/@modmanwindowcleaningworksh8867?si=9VU-RVXD6kj5Gf7U
Interested in how to get the right flow rate setting for you? Then why not watch this replay from the Live.
Qurious question what do you and the kids do on terraced houses with no side access to the rear just a garage flat roof to climb over.
As long as I have the customers permission we will use a ladder to go up on one side. Then a section of my triple ladder to go down the other side.
So I thought I would run the test today to see how much water I get in 1 min. Ran my flow controller at 80 with my x line wide brush with the rinse bar. in 1 min it was exactly 2 litres on water. I then turned down the controller to 70 and it was 1.75 litres of water. I think I'm going to test all my other brushes and make a list of what to run them at. Great live as usual.
Hi Matt, what are the chances of that? Geat to hear that it was a 2 litre per min at the setting you liked. Great way to see the settings for the other brushes. Would also be good for the Gardiners backpack. So you know the rough area for the flow controller knob to be.
@@CrystalCleanWindows yeah hadn’t thought of that.
The iPhone weather app is by far the best in my experience! I used to use dark sky as well and they were bought by Apple and incorporated into the built in weather app. I find it incredibly accurate down to the minute or so when it’s going to rain 👍
I loved Dark Sky to, was well pleased that Apple used incorporated them. It is also what i now use for manking these weather decisions.
On my regular customers I rinse on the glass, stiffer brush with high flow and 100• fans, never had any problems with spotting, no complaints either so win win 👍🏻 First cleans and less regular jobs I will always use xline brush with rinse bar though.
Nice to know about rinsing on the glass with high flow and the stiffer brush. I have been thinking about using the Xline Rinse bar brush first cleans. And to try a Gardiners brush for maintenance cleans.
@@CrystalCleanWindows I’d definitely give it a go, so much variety on gardiner I believe they have a chart that helps you pick too☺️
Thank you for all the help and pointers, great doing these lives and hope this helps some of you out👍
Missed the live again! 😩 interesting to hear you speak about Facebook ads, I’ve recently been having a think about whether I could avoid advertising on FB all together 🤔
It’s worth a small punt but for me it attracted the wrong type of customer. It has worked for other people though. To be honest as you get busier you’ll find word of mouth the best way to get new customers. A small advert in a local advertiser works really well. Village voices is an advertiser that delivers to all the local villages with some articles. £60 for a year on the smallest advert size. One monthly customer will more than cover that. Plus you get to have your name alongside other local businesses.
@@kevdubbleyou doesn't help when people post in the groups advertising gutter cleaning so next to nothing. I don't advertise on Facebook anymore, only post on my business page.
Sorry I missed the live, had to go out. Will catch up later.
No worries Ched mate, hope all is well and stay safe 👍
Great job. It’s hard cleaning the high windows. I always find that it takes longer to clean the high ones. Do you put your camera on your head?
Hi Matt, the higher windows do take a little longer. The pole is more bendy, and I probably over clean a bit just to make sure it’s clean. I have a head strap mate for the action 4 from amazon
What size tank do you use? Also how do you stop the water from freezing in the winter?
The tank i use is a 500 ltr and the water in the tank does not freeze. But the water in the hoses or the pumps can freeze. To stop this i will place a oil rad heater in that has a thermostat.
@CrystalCleanWindows thank you for getting back to me, I'm a traditional window cleaner but looking at getting into pure water
Thought I’d let you know what I do. I have to park across the road to my house so can’t put any type of heater in as the cable would be stretched across the road. I wrap my tank up in a king size thick duvet at night. The hose reels are on top and I put a couple of hot water bottles under the duvet to keep the frost off.
It's amazing what you can do when stuck in a hard place. Great way to protect the pipes and pumps mate. Will be a helpful tip to pass on.
Good effort , well oiled machine !
Thank you 🙏 we try to be efficient, doesn’t always work out that way. But you learn the best way to clean a particular house. Having a set up and pack away routine helps. I used to time a clean and then beat that on the next clean.
Good job
Thank you 🙏
Hello mate just starting out window cleaning any advise on how to build an efficient round
I would say try and keep your work compact. So when new work comes in, put it on the same round as a customer that is close by. Cleaning 4 customers without moving your van helps cut down on time. Travelling as little as possible between jobs helps very much. Someone said to me you only earn money when the brush is on the glass. In time it will naturally start to build up. At the start you will go where the work is, then the more jobs you get the more you can choose to take on. You will then start to replace work with the far away work. I just wish I did that from day one. Look on Google earth and try to target areas local to you. Having Squeegee App has helped me build rounds. Use this time to work out how to be efficient with packing and packing away routine. Think of ways to save time while still doing a good job. Because later you will be so busy and these things will then help you.
A heatwave can slow you down cleaning the windows and you need to look after yourself or each other. Really glad i have a cool box in the van this year.
