I used to find it funny when i was traditional window cleaning, when people would, when wanting a quote if they saw me in street, ask "are u a window cleaner?" Im stood there with all my gear and bucket on belt, unger ergotec pouches on, bucket and ladders. I used to say, "No im just attempting to break in,,,,,,or, no im the plumber!!!"
Or likewise as some have mentioned, ones have said that i havent cleaned because the gate was locked, so how coulx i do backs!!!!!! Hellooooo people, a window cleaner with a ladder,,,,,its not rocket science, obviously i would explain it in a more civil and business like manner. But ultimately the point is made that i was hired to clean the windows on a monthly basis and unless im told otherwise i will complete that arrangement. On the understanding that a locked gate does not present a problem in preventing this, unless told otherwise. In this instance, it wasnt agreed or weve not been told it was agreed, that the solicitor would be pre notified and the gate is not actually bolted in the first place!
Even if he was notified and on this occasion was not, for whatever reason, it doesnt present itself justification to be ranting tresspassing. Tresspassing is going onto private property without concent. That would include the front, side and rear of the property, not just the rear. Plus there is an understanding that the windows in entirety are to be cleaned monthly, which is cause for ongoing consent whilst this agreement is in force! Will he be just as forgiving if he was on vacation and failed to mention a break in service and you turn up and clean the windows. Hes on vacation and fails to check emails etc, comes home to a bill for cleaning windows,,,,,what will he trump up then???
As regards big intimidating chaps asking why you are parked outside his house, man up,,,,,regardless if they are serious about security and whatnot!!! Esp if in a signed vehicle, but regardless, a gentle reminder that paying road tax is legal reason to park wherever on the public road in a safe manner. On that point as well,,,,when parking, it is ilegal to park in such a manner to prevent a motorised vehicle from leaving the private drive. However, it is not an offense to park in a manner which prevents a motorised vehicle from parking on said driveway! Obviously not applied to driveways where emergency vehicles need access to etc.
