This time of year should be very busy, the only quite months are Feb/March but even then you can get enough work.
Never had a bad Oct/Nov/Dec since I started.
I am sure it will soon pick up for you, Xmas period is always busy!

Hi all,i think regional variations have a small knock on effect at certain times of the year , my area for instance weve had Hull fair,half term for the kids, obviously Halloween and this weekend Bonfire night,domestics are spending money at these times on the above ;) and not on there houses :'( you should prepare for these times,market different areas or take a well deserved week off like me ;D

Ollie,
The 1st few years are the hardest in any business, it wont be easy, nothing ever is, but if you do a good job (every job) be professional, YOU WILL NOT FAIL!
