where do you think we stand on using custies hose, I usually hook my pole up to clean a conservatory roof and facias etc and have a couple of jobs lined up for next week these jobs would be a nightmare without using a hosepipe isnt this  technically commercial use?, so think i will just carry on as normal, and hope i dont get any hassle, what do you all think, never thought i would enjoy seeing it rain but we  had some heavy rain for the first time in ages this week,  we need some more CHEERS

[magic moments]

I have a conny,gutters,fascias as well next week,hopefully we can use

[richard jagger]

WE had a an article in our new paper from south east waster and as this stated AS A PROFFEIONAL  you can but not the custy himself as we produce an income and pay tax. Basingstoke gazette last week.

Interesting ... I was thinking of asking a few customers if I could use their hose.

 I would then go around singing ...

 "I got hose I got hooose in different area codes area codes"

 

[richard jagger]

Why not sing. I have right, I got the right to use your hosepipe  on site. Which you cannot do which you may not do. I guess you screwed ,I need to earn some cash for food.

[john stracey]

my topic no more singing   so the jobs go ahead as planned 

[richard jagger]

Come on John its" Widow cleaner `s got talent."

if your cleaning a conny roof or fascia clean in a hosepipe ban area then i think its banned mate if your using the customers outside tap.why dont you just use your water in your tank(or are you still 100% trad?).

i do use customers outside taps sometimes if its a big conny/fascia clean but usually i use the pure in my tank.

[john stracey]

that is probably another option i can try, just seems a waste of pure, when tap water does just as good a job and in effect you,re using more water than is needed to do the job when you take into consideration the waste water when producing pure.

[dazmond]

but john if your charging a good price for the roof clean whats the problem??i feel cheeky asking to use their outside tap if im charging say £60 to clean the roof and £40 for facias/soffits!!

[Cliff perkins]

I always use customers water for conny roofs and fascias.using pure water from pole just takes to long to wash down.
Thats just my opinion and i will carry on because we are allowed at present.

[john stracey]

this is just about making the most of my day, hopefully the roof does,nt take too long, then crack on with maintenance cleans saves running home for more water wasting diesel and half an hour of the day, never had a custie mention using their tap before

If its at the back of the house - who's going to know? You stand more chance of winning the lottery than you do of getting caught.

good point! very true!

the customer understand that you don't need pure water to clean a conservatory roof.
I always say: I use your tap water for the roof and my pure water for your windows! never had any prob. 

[dazmond]

if using a customers outside tap use your own hose!i have 20m of microbore in the van with a hoselock connector on one end and a female rectus 21 on the other to connect to pole hose.

[dannymack]

I think its a cheek using custy's water they could be on a water meter !!! there paying you to do a job so use your own tools and water !!! TIGHT ARSES !!!!!!!!!!
