I would just reply ‘No problem,. All the best’.

Just move on. Everyone’s replaceable.

Yeah, but I don't like being lied to. I've been doing this long enough to know when that happens.

What is the lie? I can't see it in the posts.

The way tanks have been "fitted" in vans for years is a complete joke. Some bolts and spreader plates through a ribbed floor ? All to hold a cage that will stop a plastic water tank exploding. I love the old Ionics videos showing crash tests of flimsy, thin water tanks in IBC's doing exactly what anyone would expect them to do.

I predict modern van/tank systems will become modular. Floor plates to attatch to existing anchor points in van, adjustable anchoring points for tank frames. A lot of this stuff is already partly in existence for other trades and uses.

Now that its a big expense to drop a battery (to fit a tank) you can bet it won't take long for someone to do the math and come up with a much better way.

In the grand scheme of things as far as manufacturers are concerned window cleaning vans with tanks are a tiny percentage of what vans are used for , it’s not a market they would be interested in not worth the time and money needed to bring it into production

Eh ? I don't mean van manufacturers. I mean the companies that sell and install van systems.

I've actually lost 4 jobs due to cancellations in the last month with no reason given. Personally I think it's due to my price rises in April....

Money is getting tighter and tighter for some people and we are usually the first to go. On the plus side im still at least £2k up per year (due to all my other price rises) so I just thank them for their business over the years and wish them well....and move on to my next job.

Remember NO jobs are yours forever! Be grateful for them while they last as inevitably you ll lose them one day when they move or die or just can't afford it anymore.

Here's the background on this job. Big house, common people done good, 6 weekly, need electric gate left open, £40, done in half an hour, 3 sets of windows out of reach by ladder, rear patio skating rink when wet, has cancelled the last 2 cleans, has cancelled in the past, been cleaning for 4 years, sacked last window cleaners.

We have also had that just recently and a couple of times over the years. Customers have really ever come back to us when the relative/son stopped doing them. Not totally sure this is a great loss for you, although £40 for 1/2 an hour's work in the northeast is good money.

I clean my daughter's windows for nothing. We always have a good chat, and she makes us a lovely cup of coffee.

I'm looking forward to Scottish's comments on your post.
