Do you work in the dark wfp ?

Serious question

[andyM]

Yes I have done a commercial in the dark at 7am using wfp 
Didn't get any complaints so must of been alright 

[Ian Rochester]

We often do early starts when it's still dark outside, especially at this time of the year, though there's always enough light to see what you're doing.

[Nathanael Jones]

I do a commercial or 2 before the sun rises. Its easy enough on big windows,.. residential work would be much more challenging in the dark tho.

[GB Window Cleaning]

i dont but i only do domestic at the minute, i might do when i get commercial jobs though

[glen parva]

we do all commercial + shop
we start at 5am
no problems

[Ronnie Bryce]

This time of year all my commercial is in the dark. I don't think I would in general be brave enough to do the domestic stuff though.

I've often thought about putting some led lights on the end of my pole.
Only prob is i start at 830 and finish at 4 and it not dark 

[DaveG]

yep, all the time

[kevinc]

have head torch on to do commercials-feel a bit of tw""t wearing it it but i can at least see where i'm going,

good idea with a light on the pole and one on your head it could work no?

Do you tie a rope around your waist and to your van just, in case you get lost?

i dont get out of bed when its dark & i dont stay out late enough.... Mum said she wants me in b4 it gets dark 

[Dave Willis]

Opera glasses and a head torch for me although I'm after some night vision sights if anyone wants to sell them.

[stuart mc]

I started in the dark this morning and finished in the dark tonight, I am knackered though couldn't keep that up much longer, so yes I have wfp domestic in the dark, but it usually just one last house or so

[windowswashed]

clean a gym and rowing club when its pitch black in the winter. Just go in the gym and turn the lights on so I can see the glass from outside properly as its 29ft high so difficult to see without them on as no street lights around

Pervert!

Havent done it, but customes get funny when its just half dark "you arent going to do them now, surely?"

Imagine they wouldnt like it, thought was tempted to do a friends this evening that needed doing so could see how good a job did tomorrow!

Would be worried about missing bird much/marks where birds hit windows that need extra soaking/scrubbing tho.

[Richard Shepherd]

Clean 5 bus stations inside and out in west yorkshire every month, can't start until 11:30pm until buses stop running, no problems apart from waking the odd tramp dossing down for the night..

[andrewlefkas]

I only do bad paying domestics starting at 5am with my infra red headgear and baraclava on , custies always in but they dont like infra red headgear and baraclava for some reason- sorry couldnt help it 

[Richard iSparkle]

Dazmond, one thing I am not is a busy fool  ,  some how I ened up with a load more work that I could'nt get done in daylight hours, so I just carried on working, still a few behind but nearly cleared all the work.

if my window cleaner turned up in the dark i would tell him not to bother again, thats got to be the daftest thing to do.

I heard that very same thing years ago when I said about working in the rain 

[Llaaww]

I am off out in a minute, its dark cold and raining.

Roll on springtime.

[dazmond]

maybe get away with the odd commercial job in the dark but domestic?i wouldnt.

saying that i find the best time to collect is around 1am as nearly all customers are in.i have to knock louder to get them out of bed  and some are a bit grumpy but i have torch in hand so they can see im a window cleaning professional.

[Dave Willis]

Well Mr window slosher tell the court again what happened. It was pitch dark and the old lady came around the corner and didn't see the hose trailed across the pavement.

GUILTY - take him down to the cells.

wot was the old dear doing pounding the streets at that time of morning anyhow!? coming back from night out, or nicking stereos?! in fairness valid point, extra health and safety implications there.

I did a commercial job as the sun was coming up for the first time the other week. Had to do it before town gets busy.

Didn't see the top of the frames to well. (3 stories up)

Only an option on commercial i think.
