Seriously, A grand for a days work? I know it's hard and messy work compared to windows but I never realised it was such a good earner.

oh dear the secret is out  :o

The last big job we did was £700 and took 4 hours to clean and 2 hours sand.

Did a small drive yesterday £250 for about 2hours work.

If the customer is happy with the price that's all that matters.

amen to that

It's not a secret.
It can be done.
But it's getting it regularly that makes the difference.
What if it's done in a day but you don't work for the rest of the week?
People always wanna tell you their best days but, usually, are quieter on their worst or even average days earning.
DG & Soupy know the score-average money is more realistic.
If you're a PWer and getting £1k a day 5 days a week then hats off to you. But id doubt there are too many about...

Fair play to you bud.
I'm edging to buy the one that Kleenaway has for sale ATM.
Struggling to justify it though.

That's a good problem to have in business bud.
I've got 3 lads and 2 girls now.
They ain't cheap though!
A lad I know is looking for some work, he's 16 and would need cash in hand. Fancy giving him a crack?

Sure, I can understand that, I just don't think many people would be happy if someone quoted a grand and did the job in one day.
Oh right, so you have to go back the next day when it's dried out and put sand onto it?


It's not gonna be a day. He will have to return to sand.

Depends if it's dry really, for a £1000 job id be coming back two days later to sand. But OP is charging about half that ;) so yeah in a day would be great.

£300-£400 days on windows is achievable.

I managed to clear £1800 In one week on windows.  The following week I had mon-we'd off as I was physically dead.

Todo £300-£400 EVERY day on windows would be very hard.

If I picked cream work then yeah I could average that a day. But it would take me another 10 years to fill my round with all cream

just curious.....when PW ing a driveway do you normally use the customers own water supply or carry your own?

 how much water do you think you might use on say a 100 sq mtrs driveway?

 how much extra per mtr would you charge  if you were to seal aswell?

Customers water every time, you use to much at 14 litres a minute
