Post by: rosskesava on May 04, 2015, 07:42:10 pm: I'm having two days off.

Living along the south coast and a SW'ly with winds gutting to 50+mph to my mind makes window cleaning pretty pointless.

Some will still be out working though. Maybe they have the right idea.

Post by: richard groves on May 05, 2015, 07:32:24 am: Am already behind on some coastal properties due to vans starter motor packing up and bank holidays pushing work back.
The way I see it though, is my customers would sooner me be a couple of weeks late to do a top job and their windows stay clean for longer than a day ;)
I will be out though providing its not chucking it down, chipping away at my worklist with sheltered jobs nearer to home.

Who cares. Windows get dirty, we clean them.

Don't second guess the weather or the customer. Stick to your schedule. It's worth it in the long run.

I think it depends where you live.

Here at the moment, it'd be nigh on impossible holding the pole up.

Post by: SeanK on May 05, 2015, 09:18:59 am: Yes Robert your right it is pointless cleaning in 50 mile an hour gusts not to mention hard work.
Not hard to pull back a few lost hours in this game.
