At 62 I don't find c/c hard work........I suffer from a knackered back, which is painful but the actual work needn't be hard. If it is, maybe something needs changed'
Painting and decorating, I do find to be hard work.
If someone has been in this business for 15 years, they will have two things that should guarantee regular work, provided they understand marketing, first, there should be a large customer base and second there will be a reputation.
If the reputation is, good and the customer base is exploited, advertising costs should be minimal
The comparison with a painter / decorator came about, as a result of activities in our home which made me think about the charges some make for carpet cleaning and the time taken, compared with the charges for painting / decorating and time taken, also the physical effort.
