Hi all,
I am looking to set up a window cleaning round up in Dubia, i have been established 15 years in England, i now use the reach and wash system (ladderless window cleaning) is there any call for this service? what red tape is there? how much to rent a property? is there any law on water usage? and so on! all tips and ideas welcome,

CHEERS!

we were going to do this years ago, but never got round to it typical! yes the demand is here without a shadow of a doubt. There are a few knocking around - Pain in the Glass, Smashing Windows etc. HOWEVER, I think the set up for such would be extortionate, Trade Licence, accomodation, vans, sponsorship of labour etc.

Only thing to point out... when we were in a villa, we had a gardener who also cleaned the windows when asked. The company we got him through charged 7dhs per hour. That's something to keep in mind for sure as even without ladders, theres going to be very little money in it I'd imagine


Edited... unless I am missing something on the whole ladderless window cleaning?? Commercial or private buildings?

Blue Cat

there is money to be made, my friend pays 200 dhs for outsides to be done.

Disgusting

That was just the company that serviced the street - believe me, we never went out haggling for labour!

Thanks for the replys, i would aim at middle size commercial work and residential, we can go 60FT without the use of ladders, your friend pays 200dhs for the service what size of property is this?

CHEERS!

4 bed on the Lakes, it will cost you a fortune to set up? would you be interested in joining an existing company as a sub division?

poleman

Thanks, why would it cost so much to set up? whats your companys business? could be interested.


Cheers!

I am not 100% sure of the costs to set up a business but I know it isn't cheap by any means. I have a friend who has a maintenance company and we have discussed window cleaning on many an occasion. I will PM you my E mail ID.
