Common questions

Before you buy anything

Do I need to buy everything before I start taking customers?: No. Most window cleaners start with the startup guide to get the basics organised, then add quote and invoice templates and a pricing tool as the round grows. It's designed to help you build up your setup at your own pace.
Are these legal or compliance documents?: No. These are downloadable templates and guides to help you get organised and set up practically. They are not a substitute for professional advice and don't replace any insurance, registrations or qualifications you're responsible for as a window cleaner.
Can I use these if I'm already cleaning windows?: Yes. Plenty of window cleaners who are already running a round pick these up to tidy up their pricing, billing and customer paperwork rather than starting from scratch.
How do I receive the files?: They're instant digital downloads. After purchase you can download the templates and guides straight away and start using them.
Which should I buy first?: A good practical starting point is the startup guide, followed by the business documents for your quotes and invoices and the pricing calculator to set consistent per-property prices. From there you can add the other tools as you need them.

The work is one thing. The setup is another.

Pricing each property fairly and consistently so two similar houses on the same street don't end up paying wildly different amounts
Building a dense, well-routed round so you're not driving twenty minutes between two jobs and killing the day
Keeping recurring four and eight-weekly billing tidy and moving customers onto automatic payments instead of cash at the door
Chasing the 'leave it this time' no-pays and customers who quietly fall behind without an awkward standoff
Standing out locally and filling the round through leaflet drops, local Facebook groups and word of mouth when you're starting cold

What to sort first

Your get-set-up checklist

1
Sort how you'll price each property
Decide how you'll quote per property by size, access and frequency so your pricing stays fair and consistent across the round.
2
Plan your round and routing
Map how you'll group customers by area and cycle so you build density and your travel time doesn't swallow the day.
3
Set up recurring billing
Decide how you'll handle four and eight-weekly billing and how you'll move customers onto automatic recurring payments.
4
Get your customer paperwork ready
Have simple quotes, confirmations and invoices ready so signing up a new house or shopfront doesn't mean reinventing the wheel each time.
5
Set up simple money records
Get a basic system for tracking what's coming in and going out across the round so tax time isn't a scramble.
6
Make yourself easy to find locally
Plan how new customers will find you through leaflet drops, local Facebook groups and word of mouth so you can fill the round.
7
Check your cover and access basics
Think through the practical bits like insurance and access for locked gates or blocked drives — a prompt to look into, not insurance advice.
