Is my window cleaner coming back?

He's been doing my windows for 20 years, must have been a teenager when he started.

Over the last few years he's made a couple of very substantial cost increases, although probably still not unreasonable (£20 for 4 bed detached) but a big jump from the £10 I was paying before Covid. I may have mentioned this to him!

Anyway he's always come intermittently, anything from once a month to 3 months according to illness/holiday/injury/weather.

When he comes he cleans the windows, puts a note through the door to say he's been and comes back in the evening to collect cash.

It's months since we saw him, but I'm reluctant to make other arrangements because if he does come back, he'll just clean them and expect payment, without checking that I want them done.

I have no way of contacting him

Wwyd?

Mine doesn't work Dec or Jan - presumably weather etc
He has an extended family holiday and will be back next month to commence 4 weekly round as normal

Could it be this ?

Why not just get another one , start him on a 4 week round and then if the other one appears you can stop one of them , you may have to pay twice on first occasion but if you get a number from new one should be easy to cancel ?
