Here's the time stamps as I spoke for longer than expected as normal! Timecodes 0:00 - Intro 1:45 - Visit the property & meet the customers 4:33 - Prequalify your jobs and find out more 6:52 - Show your face and you in action on your business pages 9:10 - Keep in touch with the customers 11:54 - Educate the customers
As a customer with no cleaning background, I look for value over cost. The value comes from believing in the person you’re getting to do the work, and that comes from transparency, communication and knowledge of their craft. I’d rather wait for someone I trust (and generally pay more!) than go for something cheaper who is available in 5 mins.
So spot on can’t fault any comments that you have made in this video All adverts we run on Facebook all mention that we are enhanced DBS checked with the Logo. Customers are reassured from the outset, also we advertise that we carry all certificates of insurance in Van if customer wishes to view. Sets us apart from the opposition !! Great vlog Sid 👍

Hi Sid, great tips on how to run any type of company that deals with private customers, I'm currently a handyman looking at starting my pressure wash service soon.
Great set of tips - makes me think more about customer contacts and managing expectations as well. Good communication helps everyone understand what is required and what will be 'supplied' at what cost.
100%! Even down to keeping in contact long after you’re gone for that repeat custom. That’s how a lot of USA businesses stay up and running, not many people have caught on over here yet.
Yeah definitely mate. And I never have, I just front the chemicals as if someone pulls out I’ll roll it to the next job, however if I get back into driveway sealing this year I’ll be taking deposits for the sealant as I got stuck with £400 worth of resiblock last year after someone cancelled!
Awesome video! I love your general vibe to be honest. Also, now wondering how essential roof cleaning is. Always have rented, so never thought about it. Now it's a pressing issue in my life 🤣🤣🤣
Cheers mate if you head onto the channel there’s a video on how to quote roof cleaning and how to quote for guttering, I havnt don’t a pressure washing one yet but I will do 👍
Hi mate looking at your videos I’m working full time but possibly looking into roof cleaning I’ve jet washed my own roof and made a good job and have had a few neighbours ask me to help do theirs they are roof that require using roof ladders with different hips and ridges so quite hard roofs just after some thoughts on jet washing as a posed to soft washing I’ve my jet washer so sort of already set up for doing the roofs just really after advise as to why you don’t jet wash roofs .. cheers Tony
Hi tony, id say just do your research as much as you can, never blast water up the roof only down, if theres anything loose or the tiles are really old just be extra careful, check for leaks before hand if you want to go the extra mile too. Good luck mate
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning It's never been more popular. Huge tournament coming up soon, some of the players weren't born when the game came out haha if you're not too busy cleaning roofs I'll give you a game. I'm in the same work as you, for 5 years now. Like your videos, keep it up bro

The dbs checks is a nice touch! Was thinking about that today as I’ve got to quote a school tomorrow

You will need it at a school as you will have to be accompanied else, if the children are there.
Make sure you do the enhanced not the basic. 👍
