Good luck Robbo, you'll be ok. There's always work out there, it's just finding it. For example, when canvassing a street and the first 6 or 7 say, 'we've got a cleaner', keep knocking coz there will be someone who hasn't got one.
And, don't get me wrong, I'm not a big outfit, just a sole trader, but I've got a decentish round. But I didn't go all out to build one quickly coz I didn't need too.
Do a good job, be regular and neighbours will see and take note. It's amazing how you can pick jobs up from people seeing you looking tidy and doing a good job.
