Even in Scotland the past few years i probably could have used cold water all winter except for a few days.

Winters are milder now days.

The main thing is to keep the inside of your van frost free over night. Put a little oil filled radiator in the back and that will stop any damage to your equipment.

If you really don't want Any time off at all then you have to think of a warm water system. Either immersion or diesel, or lpg.

Otherwise just take a few days off. If the snow gets heavy then we can't really work anyway unless we've got 4wheel drive.

The problem I had last year , wasn't the van freezing up , it was when the water from the brush hit the glass , the whole window froze up!

For me it the stormy weather that seems to be getting worse, last winter was a total nightmare.

Or for residential early morning starts probably when at its coldest, break out the trolley!
 When trad cleaning, loved cold conservatories that used to freeze as soon as applied mop..

The thing is Soupy is right 

Summer is the time to put in extra effort and put a few pennys into the bank for rainy, wet, shorter winter days.
