On the whole ticking along nicely, one van on the carpets pretty much full time.
As for other work, we've just picked up a new builder who has 18 months worth of commercial/industrial work ahead and wants us to do all his post build cleans, done about £4K of work for them so far since beginning of March. However there's another house builder who we have done a lot of work for who's paid off nearly all his brickies and labourers.
New window cleaning work is coming in all the time and we're trying to push it more for commercial than domestic now. Having to put all our prices up to alleviate the fuel costs which are having a marked impact on the margins, need to get them back up again. So far nobody has complained or cancelled, we're still probably half the price of a lot of you out there !
It's the time of year when people want their driveways cleaned and we've done 4 medium sized pressure washing jobs this past week and got 2 booked in for this coming week. However my Mosmatic rotary surface cleaner has died a death and they are refusing to fix it under the warranty (bought at NEC just last year!) so not impressed with their service, they want £146 +vat for a new rotating swivel, I can get a whole new cleaner from Northern Tools for £66+vat.
Anyway, another weeks work then I'm off on holiday to Loches in the Loire
and the reins are all handed over to one of our supervisors for 10 days, hopefully she'll cope with it!
