Window cleaning service in Kenya: Records and Planning Worksheets
Keep evidence that answers a real operating question
For window cleaning service, the record should connect the promised output, its cost and the buyer's acceptance. Begin with:
Record pane access, frame-soil level, viewing-light complaints and travel time, then group similar accessible windows into routes that reduce repeated setup and collection costs locally.
An order and acceptance record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Output and exclusions | Quote individual glazing zones with their opening arrangements, screens and frame tracks, limiting the service to access methods that can be safely planned beforehand onsite. |
| Sale unit | pane set or measured area |
| Acceptance check | Inspect cleaned glass from both sides and different viewing positions, checking that apparent streaks are not existing scratches, trapped condensation or coating damage inside the pane. |
| Missed-cost check | Include frame detailing, moving indoor obstacles and protecting nearby merchandise, because selling only glass area can overlook most of the labour on small shopfronts jobs. |
| Failure to investigate | Glass looks clear head-on but obvious streaks appear in afternoon light, prompting a return trip that exceeds the value of a small isolated booking itself. |
Add the date, private customer reference, agreed price, advance, balance, promised handover and actual acceptance. Record a change before carrying it out. An unresolved complaint needs its own action and follow-up date rather than being overwritten by the next order.
A supplier and cost record
For each required input, record the specification, quantity, supplier identity, quote date, delivered cost, payment terms and reason for selection. Match the record to the receipt and inspect what arrived. Keep one-time setup, recurring inputs and refundable deposits in separate categories so that the same cash movement is not counted twice.
A weekly review
Compare accepted output with started output; reconcile money collected with outstanding balances; investigate rework and returns. Review whether measured capacity can meet the next commitment. A positive surplus estimate does not remove a shortage of cash caused by late collection.
Use sources within their stated scope
- DOSHS — Registration and Renewal of Workplaces — Workplace registration process and county DOSHS contact route; assess applicability to actual premises and work. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- NEMA — Processing of Environmental Licenses and Permits — Official 2025 notice identifies 2024 effluent, waste and chemicals regulation application routes. Check actual discharge, collection and disposal model. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
- KenInvest — eProcedures licensing and county directory — Official catalogue of county business procedures and sector licensing categories. A category listing is not a complete approval checklist or fee quotation. Reference recorded 2026-10-26.
These references route sector and activity questions. They do not independently establish local customer demand, supplier stock, a complete budget or business profitability. A reference date records the earlier check; it is not a claim that every linked requirement was reverified today.

Match the evidence to a decision
| Decision question | Business-specific record to retain |
|---|---|
| Was the input fit for use? | Trial on one pane; a damaged blade leaving a regular line should be replaced before the whole job. |
| Was the work acceptable? | The twelve-pane sheet has a completion tick for every included face. |
| What remains unresolved? | This proposed pilot has not been field tested or independently reviewed by a practising operator. |
