Some days I love this job

(1/2) > >>

woodman:
In the course of my work I carry out jobs for the very rich (one's a billionaire) the rich, footballers,rock stars, (SHARON ,that bloody dog's p****d on the carpet again) tv stars,presenters and Royalty.

Some cracking stories and some funny and not so funny moments(I could write a book I could and who knows one day I might).


One day is never the same as the last and that's what makes this job so good but some times there is nothing more satisfying than when you go into a little old ladies house, clean the 35 year old carpets and they come up like new.The jobs not a big earner but she's plied you with tea and biscuits and then at the end is so pleased she gives you a £5 tip and no matter how much you protest (honest I do) she insists.

Gives you a warm glow inside guvnor and no mistake.

Mike_Boxall:
Royalty, eh?
Do you have a Royal Warrant? Does anyone know of any independent carpet cleaners or window cleaners with one?

woodman:
I've had a few warrants in my time but never a royal one ;D

No I havn't got one I don't do them enough to able to get one, say once every 18-24 months , I clean for a very high up the scale Duchess ,does that count, I'm told it does,any way she's a very nice lady no hiers and graces about them at all.
I don't work at any of the palaces, its their private country home that I do.

The only one that I do know with a royal warrant is John Fredericks in NW London.

Nigel_W:
John Fredericks have the Queen Mother's warrant
Pilgrim Payne have the Queen.
Jet carpet cleaners also have one, maybe Prince Charles.

However the real juicy work in London is not the above, who clean irregularly and at discount prices,  but the Royal Families of other countries who have residences in the capital.

woodman:
Hi Nigel

Pilgrim Payne was the one I was trying to think of.

It's not the value of the work, it's the kudos that goes with having the right to display the symbol personally I don't care either way.

In answer to your question I work mainly in south herts and bucks and into nth london.

What about you?
