There's nothing  desperate about working in bad weather not everyone  makes a fortune at this job . Some people  just can't be bothered to try and work in bad weather.i try my best to work in bad weather doesn't make  me desperate  I'm just trying to keep on top of my work not easy playing catch up when weathers been  bad

I think you've made the point very well. I personally don't work in high winds or heavy rain, but I respect anyone who chooses to.

I'll look forward to hearing from the ones who right off there van on snow covered roads or side roads,I couldn't get to 90% of my jobs if I was stupid enough to go out in it.

I dont like working in bad weather but when you've had a week or more of at christmas and come back to  rain and wind which puts you really behind. Bills are due and you can't get any work done it becomes quite stressfull and yes you do get a bit desperate. Today looks awfull here but I've 3 weeks of work or more stacked up in front of me including a load of first cleans

Skip the frames/frosted give the glass a quick lick and you will soon catch up, they wont notice at this time of the year.
Joke is the same people who claim to clean in all weather conditions will be rolling their eyes at the above statement.

I don't clean any wondows at all in bad weather. I just put the slip through the door and drive off.

So what some are saying is that they don't have a few weeks money to tide them over to get them through the snow then,I think you should look for another job then you'll get paid if you can't go in.

I work in all weathers, never normally get turned away and most people who are home tend to make me a cuppa...... although today I've just been turned away from a £60 job because of it being "a grotty day, can you roll job over to a nicer day?"
Mmmmm must be a trend starting in2017

...or because they consider it a waste of their £60 for the windows to look just as dirty come the same time tomorrow. Would you not feel the same if you were them ?

You can't just take time of and use your savings because what  happens if you spend your savings then something  seriously goes wrong with van or you desperately need equipment doesn't make sense

[NWH]

Doing domestic houses in proper full on snow is crazy imo,my point is you have all year to allow for snow for a couple of weeks. Your running a business time off for weather and a bit of a holiday should all be costed into your pricing or you may as well be working for someone else,what's the point otherwise.

[jk999]

Try working in West Yorkshire where people want to pay peanuts for work doing .I only work in snow if it's all ready on the ground not if it's snowing. I found when it's snowing against the glass it was worse than rain for mucking the windows again

All these posters saying you can't work in bad weather and yet if I want to I do.

Just train your customers to expect it and if you feel like it do it. If you don't, don't.

Three of us worked all day on Friday. Chucking it down most of the day. No complaints.... so far. It's a business not a vocation.

[jk999]

Cause it's a business can't be  doing with people  that just takes a day of because  it's a bit crappy weather . I have a mate that when he's out on a day where it's on off rain all he does is moan man up for Christ sake

[dazmond]

i turned up at a £40 job on friday and it was quite windy(and its near a busy road!).cleaned the windows and was on my merry way.that night she paid me online like she normally does(wish all my customers were as prompt!)

then i get a text the next day saying she was disappointed as she thought i must of missed a few windows out!

i went round today and cleaned all her windows again and even scraped some paint off a few windows (where shes had some decorating done.).she came out with a large chunky kit kat and a coffee!

i very rarely get a call back but when i do i always go above and beyond as i want to keep all my customers.i must admit a few windows were dirty.i think it was the wind blowing crap on the windows before they  had chance to dry properly.

it wont stop me cleaning windows in bad weather though.sometimes you have to if you want to keep to your work schedule and keep everything profitable and the money rolling in.
