Post by: dazmond on January 24, 2014, 08:18:30 am
im loving the hot water mate.i think it makes me slightly quicker as hoses easier to manage.ive done a few first cleans/add ons this month and its great when you turn the heat up.it defo cleans easier and better but i normally have it on low on maintenance cleans.just enough to warm the hoses and slight steam on the glass.i dont wanna crack any glass!

in summer time ill crank the heat up a bit! ;) ;D

And also got appendicitis on holiday in Brazil on the 2nd day.
I'm back now and can't work for 2/3 weeks so my worker is bogged under big time.
So not a great start to the year! But these things happen. The alternative is to be sitting in a dreary office dreaming of escape!

Yep that's right Ben! ;D

Swolf I do offer add on jobs.I'm busy enough although I will take on more jobs if they approach me.

I've been working pretty much flat out since the 2nd Jan so a few days off will do me good!!!!

I don't really want to work flat out 6 days a week all month mate.

Don't know you get so much time off Daz, didn't you get a few weeks off over the Christmas season and now more time off ?
How do you get all this work done, I don't know how yous work it but my 4 weekly or monthly jobs are done roughly 4 weekly and monthly so were busy everyday. I couldn't bring lots of jobs forward as they will be done 2 weekly to get all those days off just wouldn't happen !!!! I can't understand how you can bring loads of work forward, I couldn't anyway as everyday were are really busy and couldn't bring tomorrow's work forward as that's a full day too.
How do yous do it when yous say I've got so work really busy best month but you get the time to bring work forward
Mmmmmmmm strange 👳👳👳👍

That's nice to have that option Daz, yes I know what you mean about getting fed up with working all the time especially 6 days a week. I said I'm not doing weekends anymore but I've taken on 3 office cleaning jobs on that me and the wife do on Sundays so only get a lay in in Saturday. Don't mind doing the Sunday were only out about 3 hours. 👳👳👳
Title: Re: record month!!happy days!
Post by: TomSE on January 29, 2014, 12:36:43 pm
Dannymack what kind of rate is realistic on office cleaning as I've been asked to quote for 2 where I clean the windows, it would be done early during the week before people get in but I'm not sure if the rate is similar to window cleaning? For example if an hour and a half was required one day a week starting around 7, how much would be a realistic quote? The only cost to me is a few basic cleaning bits, I know people say go with your rate etc but I'd just like to see how other people go about it.

Cheers, Tom
