Yes, but try and judge the size of the job over the phone, if they say it's a 5ft path then tell them your minimum charge, if they can park 8 cars on it and they have a patios round the back then go quote the job

Regards to the size of the job  I posted a while back about google earth pro. http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=200341.msg1757345#msg1757345

If you use the measurement tools included you can work out the rough size of a job  sat in the warm. This can be done anytime at your leisure before or after you do a site survey   ;)

My gutter cleaning wet and dry vac is invaluable if you get a surface build up of water when cleaning the driveway or patio.......especially if the driveway is on a slope going into a garage. I usually remove the grids from soakaways  and hover them out and once more after re-sanding. This makes a great before and after picture for your website.

Regards to bad drainage you quickly learn what a pain in the arse it can be for sure.  On some jobs I wish I wearing a pair of waders  ;D

Sometimes the clean up process can take longer than the actual clean so needs to be taken into consideration too when pricing  work up.
