He only comes on here to try and promote his own show to put money in his pocket same with his videos promoting various products and I get that but he doesn’t give anything to the window cleaning community on the forums .

This is exactly why you should attend The Cleaning Show if you’re into window cleaning. You’ll be able to get hands-on with the latest poles, brushes, and cutting-edge equipment, see live demonstrations, and attend seminars covering the newest products just released to the market. There are also some amazing show-only discounts available. As the largest window cleaning show in the world, and located centrally in the UK, it’s easy to access and not one to miss.https://www.cleaningexpouk.co.uk/

I don't go out if its heavy rain. I have told my customers that I may miss a month due to black ice or adverse weather. They are all happy when I told them, there's always tomorrow. Hard with DD customers but I have decided to pay them back in cash when I return the next month. Its a tough call if you are relying on the money.

You should easily have time to get round your work that month with 100 customers....

I manage it with 300+ customers only working 20 hours a week with plenty of spare time!

Exactly, that's what I like about this job. If I spend a full day then I would be finished by Wednesday but once I have made a few ton I slow down and want to go home.

Been in my mates garage Friday and Saturday getting all the warning lights out. One was about the hub so we fitted a new one and sensor. The light only needed the plug pushed in as the clip was broke and lastly the brake needed a new sensor. Only have to fit a new exhaust tomorrow before the Mot. Its so easy with a ramp and my tank was half full.

Once you get to 60 up here we get a bus pass and know its time to slow down.

I thought you were always fully booked for work with all your home maintenance jobs.

I have a good few jobs to do but I need to be motivated to do it. Money used to motivate me but with the pension and mortgage ending i don't see the rush. I have a tree to cut down and many trees to prune, a few gutters to do with the vac, a gutter to move, a hip tile and gutter to repair for my mate and my mum has volunteered me to paint my cousin's bedroom.

I have lost 4 days getting my van Mot and servicing my system. Its all go now and back out for my afternoon shift. Thursday I will have the money for another reel and new 25 foot pole so at least I have something to focus on.

You don't seem to focus on anything, Scottish.

 

Bought a new xtreme 25 today and a few spare poles. It means, if I break one then I can do a quick swap when I get home. Bought a few top poles so I can change the broken one and I will still have one as a spare. As long as we have the work to justify them then its a no brainer. The xtremes are still the same price and are due a price rise so if you want one get it soon. 😉

I live in one of the wetest parts of the uk. south wales.     I dont even discuss the rain with my customers. its my business , I will run it how  I want to. If a customer cancels or makes a fuss , its their problem.  but it rarely happens .

That being said, I dont work if its heavy rain. I dont like getting drenched .
 I think I have had 2 days off due to the weather, and cut a dozen  or so short..
This is one reason I dont like using a round planner.  if I know I am up against the weather I will organise a route that  is full of easy quick houses
