Is anyone else finding it going absolutely crazy recently. The phone is off the hook and Im just getting work coming in left right and centre.

Ive picked up £700 of gutters since Friday.


Windows are plentiful, I was intending on selling some old work at the end of the year, if this carries on Ill be flogging it middle of the summer.

Yeah, I've been meaning for the last couple of years to push the PVC/conny roof cleaning a bit but to be honest I just haven't got time. I've gone from a 4 week cycle to 6 weeks on regular cleans. My previous 6 weekers are now 8 weeks!!!!!!

I keep taking the cream & dropping the skimmed, I don't advertise or canvass & still it keeps rolling in. I only quote quality stuff these days & pass the rest on.

Happy days. :D :D :D

I think a lot of it is the fall-out from the Iceland volcano...loads of brown dust on cars and windows. That and the sun is finally out and shows up the crappy state of windows.

Long warm days...grab the work whilst the going is good!

Picked up a few gutter jobs over the last week or so as well as several regular window cleaning jobs without even trying and since I've only been going 6 months I'm pretty pleased.  ;)
