Pulled up to do a first clean in a really rough estate, saw 3 crack heads In the Street and a front garden that had 18 trolleys in it.

Sorry love, been called out on an emergency.

Yep, been there n done that.
Now when I get enquiries through, I use google maps and street view to see what the area is like. Ive cancelled a couple of quotes for that reason.

Those crack heads hanging about as you put it probably given a chance would nick gear from inside the van or worse the van itself.  Will not be the first time this has happened either so I think you made the right call myself.

We can pick & choose what work we take on and if the area is well know to be doddgy I stay well clear.

I've done runners for much less 

I won't do rough areas at all just don't like working in squaller

If asked to clean a rough postcode with locked gates I avoid, same goes for new estates, avoid them like mad, never ever take on new work on new estates

Being a complete idiot, I went back.

Apparently she fell out with the last window cleaner, I wonder if it was the dog poo on the drive or the extremely high standards for someone who clearly doesn't own a tooth brush?

First time showing up uou could be forgiven, but you did right thing in leaving.
But to go back mate,,,
