The way of being quick and still doing a good job is having a quick technique ( which doesnt compromsie quality - for example giving a really decent scrub and rinse ) but where you save the time is how you move your body ( arms, body and legs all quickly ) and moving quickly around the property....in a sense a controlled rush, thats how you get really quick

Then theres reeling the hose in, you can do it really fast ( or use an electric winder ). Have a decent flow rate ( this forces you to work faster....somehow! ). Writting all the bills out the night before. Knowing a property so your hose doesnt snag. Arranging your drive to different jobs to save time. Having lunch ready made in the van. Carrying water  with you, and not needing to go to the shops. There are countless ways to save time without compromising quality, Luke

I could probably save even more time by having a portaloo in the back of the van.

But you would have to buy them out of work hours or you wouldn't save any time.

Some good comments from Luke about being quick- time was he'd have started a thread on it.
One thing I would add is being methodical in this controlled rush and not tripping over or standing on the pole hose. So yes if you want to be really fast (again he said without compromising quality) everything Luke said;
High flow
Electic reel
Hot system
Auto Pole hose retractor

Skip lunch- eat when you get home

Have you had a chat with the new guy? I had this a year ago with a new bloke that started, he was pricing detatched houses up at £3.50, I only lost two to him before we had to have a chat. After that neither of us went back to those houses and we don't bother each other any more either.

Try and work something out with the new bloke otherwise it could get a bit sticky
