Videos From Window Cleaning Magazine UK

Just one of the many topics covered by the WC magazine UK.

The Window Cleaning Magazine (WCM) is embarking on its most ambitious offering yet with great quality films covering window cleaning topics. The Window Mag is a free online magazine currently published quarterly, although there has been talk that the editions would increase to bi-monthly. You can view the magazine online in a flip page format or down load the PDF of the magazine to your desktop. Because the magazine is digital the magazine is teaming with click on links to advertisers, videos and any other relating website.

WCM has always embarked on video as a supporting tool to the main magazine and the media feeds readers throughout the period between issues as does the WCM blog. This season WCM has taken filming on window cleaning related topics to a dizzy height with soon to be released high quality programs on its YouTube channel. You can subscribe to the channel here. Lee Burbidge, editor of WCM was free to take a quick interview..

So Lee what equipment do you use for your videos, they have to be some of the best quality window cleaning videos out there?

To be honest Karl the equipment I have is very basic and costs no more than 1400 dollars. It consists of a Sony Cam a tripod and slider…… the best things are the Go-Pro cameras although I got disappointed as I am down to one now. The other just stopped working.

The production of the video is pretty cool, what editing software are you using?

Final Cut Pro £199.00 or around 300 dollars.

Why do you go to all the effort of these videos, I can see that you have toured America recently?

Yes we set out to make some film for WCM and got back some real awesome footage. Why do I do it? I just love it! Giving back is great. Im hoping that window cleaners will always find a topic that covers any solution to any problem they maybe facing.

Lee gets to go over.

What films do you have coming up?

Window Wars USA is going to be great. We follow two competitors 10 minutes apart from each other, a real David and Goliath story since one of the companies is a multi-million dollar firm.

Then we have 'High Rise With Empire.' Empire Window Cleaning Services is based in Kansas City. Here we touch on high-rise work and rope repelling. I had a go myself. It was an awesome experience!

We have other quality films coming out too that touch on usual topics such as 'Can You Clean Windows in the Rain?' In these films we try and look deeper into the subject matter and draw on science whenever we can.

We can not forget Jeff Temperley. Jeff is the Brit guy WCM has been following that sold his window cleaning business in the UK to start one up in Panama City Florida. Window Cleaning in the Redneck Riviera is a film following up that process.

In all these films we get to see what people like to do when they are not window cleaning from looking after expensive fast cars to shooting assault rifles and hunting. Its all pretty interesting stuff.

Lee gets to shoot window cleaning competitors.

What is Industry Cribbs?

Lol that’s all new. We take our cameras around the business premises of industry leaders and people in the biz such as Window Cleaning resource. I’m hoping to do this with more companies so that viewers can see the people and their factories behind the products they buy.

Whats next?

Its endless, 'how to' videos, training videos and more of the entertaining stuff. We hope to do a 'Window Wars 2' in Scotland covering the licensing of window cleaners there. That will be awesome!!
