A Van They Recognise From the End of the Street Worth £1,200+

Look the Part

A Van They Recognise From the End of the Street

Pillar-box red on Dropby navy. Same livery, same lettering, same crest on every van across North London. We design the wrap to your van's dimensions, source the printer, and project-manage the install — you just turn up and pick it up.

That recognition is worth more than any flyer. By month two, customers will wave at the van before you've knocked.

  • Full van livery — designed, printed, installed
  • Magnetic door panels for spare vehicles
  • Decals replenished if they fade — on us
Embroidered Kit, Not a Bloke with a Bucket 5-piece starter pack

On the Doorstep

Embroidered Kit, Not a Bloke with a Bucket

The trust signal that lands before you've knocked. Five pieces — three polos, a fleece, a waterproof jacket — all embroidered with the Dropby crest, all in the heritage navy and cream the brand is built on.

Sized to you, dispatched before training, replenished as you wear them out. Customers see the uniform and they know what they're getting.

  • 3 polos · 1 fleece · 1 waterproof jacket
  • Embroidered Dropby crest, sized to you
  • Replenished as you wear them out — at our cost
Your Own Page on the Dropby Website £5k+ build value

Built to Convert

Your Own Page on the Dropby Website

Your area gets its own page on dropbywindowcleaners.co.uk — your photos, your reviews, your phone number, written by us to turn visitors into bookings. Live before your first ad goes out.

And it stays current. Every time we improve the main site — sharper copy, faster pages, better photos — your area gets the upgrade automatically. No invoice, no rebuild, nothing to lift a finger over.

  • Your own dropbywindowcleaners.co.uk/your-area page
  • Designed and written by us — no website to manage
  • Upgrades to the main site land on yours automatically

Tuned every fortnight against your real numbers, not vanity metrics. You see every penny of spend on a dashboard you can read.

Door-to-Door Pipeline

Trained Canvassers, Knocking For You

Our canvassers knock on doors for Dropby every week — chatting to homeowners, booking quotes there and then, breaking open new streets from a cold start. When you join, you get access to that team for your area.

You pay their day rate direct — we don't take a cut. We've already trained them on the Dropby pitch, what to ask, how to handle objections, and how to book the slot before they leave the doorstep. They turn up, they knock, they fill your week.

  • Already trained on the Dropby pitch — no onboarding from you
  • You pay the day rate direct, no skim
  • Used to fill empty slots and break into new streets

A Smarter Inbox. Built For Window Cleaners.

A Smarter Inbox. Built For Window Cleaners.

What water-fed poles did to ladders, this does to evening admin. Less faff, same result, finished by tea — but the engine underneath is something the doorstep tradesman of 1955 wouldn't recognise.

It's the same AI we built for Dropby itself. Trained on every quote and reply we've ever sent. It knows how we write, knows what we charge, watches the calendar, spots when a job's running over, and quietly sends the next customer a heads-up before they reach for the phone.

An inquiry lands → it drafts the reply → you tap send. A schedule slips → it texts the next door. The day before a clean → it sends the reminder. Your prices, your voice, your customers. We just take the typing off your plate.

How It Works

From Handshake to First Job in 21 Days

01

Week 1 · A Proper Chat

We talk. About you, your area, what you're after. If it's a fit, we agree the territory and shake on it.

What we cover

Your background, your goals, the area you want to work, your van, your insurance. We're picky about partners — most chats end as a friendly no, and that's by design.

02

Week 2 · We Build Your Setup

Landing page, ad accounts, software, van livery, uniform. All built and shipped while you carry on with your week.

What gets built

A Dropby page for your area on the main site. Google Ads + Meta Ads accounts in your name. Your auto-quote software dashboard, set up with your prices. Van decals to your dimensions. Uniform sized and dispatched.

03

Week 3 · Live & First Jobs

Ads go live, training done, first inquiries land. You quote, you book, you clean. We're on the phone if anything wobbles.

What launch week looks like

Day 15: campaigns live, software walkthrough, brand standard training. Day 17: canvassers (if you've taken them) on the doors. Day 21: first jobs in the diary. Weekly check-in for the first month, monthly thereafter, ad performance reviewed every fortnight.

Honest Bit

Who It's For — And Who It Isn't

We'd rather say no early than mid-year.

Fits If You're a Tradesman

Maybe you're already cleaning windows, or you've worked a trade and want to start your own round. You're disciplined and you turn up when you say.

Fits If You Want a Brand

You'd rather knock on a door wearing Dropby colours than a no-name fleece. Customers trust a brand they recognise — that head-start is worth something.

Doesn't Fit If You Want Hands-Off

We don't run the round for you. You quote, you book, you clean, you collect. We give you the system — you have to actually work it.

Doesn't Fit If You Cut Corners

Our name is on your van. Skipped frames, missed days, chasing customers for cash on the doorstep — that's a parting of ways. We're picky on purpose.

Common Questions

The Bits Most People Ask

Why no upfront fee?

Because we're a small operation, not a national franchise dressed up as one. We'd rather you came to us because the offer is good — not because you've already sunk £10k and feel locked in. The 20% covers everything we do for you.

What's the territory like?

One franchisee per area, agreed in writing. We'll never put another Dropby van inside your patch. Areas are sized to support a healthy round — we'd rather have one happy partner per area than three fighting over the same streets.

Who pays for the Google and Meta ads?

You do — direct to Google and Meta, on your card. We build the campaigns, run them, and tune them every fortnight. You see every penny of spend. Typical ads budget for a new round is £300–£600 a month, but we'll size it to your goals.

What if I already have customers?

Bring them with you. Your existing customers stay yours and we don't take 20% on the round you brought to the table — only on the new business we generate together. Spelt out clearly in the agreement.

Can I leave?

Yes. 30 days' notice, no exit fee, no clawback. Your customers go with you — though obviously the Dropby branding, landing page, software access and ad accounts come back to us. We'd rather you stayed because it's working, not because you couldn't afford to go.

What stops you taking the leads off me later?

Nothing on paper — and that's the honest answer. What you've got is the agreement, the relationships you'll build with those customers, and the fact that our incentives are pointed the same way. The 20% only works for us if you're winning. We'd be cutting our own legs off.
