The fear of moving is worse than the move. Import the spreadsheet, let the app find the duplicates and geocode the addresses, book next week, and keep the notebook in the glovebox for a fortnight.
Price by time and access, not by the number of windows. The 2026 bands for UK homes, the rule for hard-access work, and how to raise prices without losing the street.
Every field app claims to 'work on mobile'. Very few keep working when the signal drops behind a house, in a basement or halfway up a valley. Here's why we built TradeYoke the other way round.
Around 1% on a £12 clean, no Friday-evening collections, and money that arrives whether the customer was in or not. How Direct Debit changes a window cleaning round, and how to move customers onto it.
One text at 6 pm the day before, sent from tomorrow's plan, and the side gate is open, the car is off the drive and the money is ready. How reminder texts work and what to put in them.
A wet Tuesday is not a lost day if every visit has its own record. Carry the undone stops forward in one go, replan Wednesday nearest-first, and the round is back on cycle by Friday.
A fixed price against a written task list, month to month with 30 days' notice, and every extra quoted first. The contract structure that stops scope creep and keeps gardens on the books for years.

Two photos taken on the visit do more for a garden maintenance business than any leaflet. Here is how to take them, file them and send them so the next visit sells itself.
A pay link by text, a card on the doorstep, a Direct Debit for the regulars. The three ways UK trades get paid the same day, and when to use each.
A reminder ladder that keeps customers, the automation that gets you paid weeks sooner, and exactly what the Late Payment Act lets you charge when a business ignores you.
One email before the first job: every customer who owes you, how overdue, and a link they can pay from. Why it works and what changes after a week of it.
