Title: Will I get them done
Post by: Ben wood on July 15, 2014, 03:59:23 pm
I have about 27 jobs to do some bungalows and houses, nothing big big but a few have conservatorys, I need to get them done as I'm away for a few days. Would you get them done on a 8am til 6pm day.

Most people on this forum go on about how many houses they have at like £15.00-25.00...
So how on earth can one man in a van do 27 jobs in 1 day? That would be £405 if they are all £15.00.... Very unrealistic

£7-£8 houses and this could be realistic, but i have never heard anyone on this forum mention any house priced under£10.00...

easy if their right next to each other on an estate with a high flow.monthly cleans.extreme pole and brush,500L tank van mount. :).if you work 6 hours "on the glass" time its only 4 an hour.i tend to do 4 or 5 an hour on compact 3 bedders.

some of us are very organised,efficient and dont hang around rinsing all day.by the way i only get about 3 complaints a year on the odd window here and there(usually a run or two from a top rubber seal). ;)

Thats 4 an hour without any breaks what so ever.... That just doesnt happen, we all have 5 mins or so on our phones a day, plus dinner breaks
Title: Re: Will I get them done

I don't stop.
Snack while I'm on the go.
Daz seems to work hard but is realistic.
Not digging at anyone in particular at all but just 'cause one man can't doesn't mean someone else can't either.

It would depend on what your definition of a proper job is. Maybe Daz the Raz does enough to get by and be paid. Which isnt the service some wish to offer. Some prefer to take more pride in their job than others and don't wish to have that rush rush scenario. Dont forget Daz has an addictive personality, so he says, its all or nothing for those guys - no balance. On the go, all the time. They have targets and they've failed if they don't meet them.

That is a very good line, Matt.
Do you have an addictive personality? Can you relate, or do you observe?

People cant work 6or7 hours without a break surely? Its lonely working alone!

For gods sake when are you guys going to learn that wfp doesn't do a first class job, it does a
reasonable or passable job.
As was mentioned in a previous post the fact that the frames are bright and clean takes the notice of the glass.
So get the job done and stop messing about trying to achieve the impossible.
Doesn't matter if you spend 10 or 30mins on a property I guarantee that there will still be the odd run or spotting
on the glass.
I think its OCD that stops most from achieving Dazmonds targets.

Agree to a point. I think it's fear rather than OCD though.
Some people still don't believe in their own kit.
