I really need to pack in the window cleaning, as it just so hard to move the gear in and out of the van, but the pressure /gutter cleaning work dries up over the winter months, so what can I do ?

Do you mean the power washer and such like? If so I feel your pain, would love a trailer, packed and ready to go but have nowhere secure to put it.

I just really hate the moving around, stopping starting, cold freezing weather, moaning customers, chasing payments .
I could pressure wash 24-7 love it, and the feedback is good for my low confidence ;D

Got a conservatory/gutter cleaning job in morning, then have to unload all the gear, and load pressure washing stuff for afternoon !
Two vans would be great :(
-
Get a bigger van then maybe?
I use to have all the hassle in loading and unloading swapping stuff around until I got a larger van.
Now I can carry all the gear I want around and have reduced the hassle next to nothing.

Just hate window cleaning, been doing it for over 30 years, and for last two been pressure washing which has been a God send ;D
-
When I am pressure washing I get in the "zone " and I lose all track of time . . . . . the feedback we get, and getting paid is a big bonus
too ;D
-
If I'm honest I prefer hard surface cleaning to any other services I offer.
Apart from block paving cleaning as can make a hell of a mess ;D

I hate window cleaning now as its just so boring cleaning clean windows, going to pack it in as its just not worth running around chasing tenners.

Think I need to stop spending, and saving a bit more, and just spend the winter months in spain with the family ;D

You shouldn't have a problem with it! It won't be Terracotta though it will be Quarry or Porcelain (Unless it is in Mexico ;D ;D)

If you're chasing tenners then you're not pricing high enough...
Window cleaning can be monotonous - but you can't beat it for regular repeat ££
It just takes time to build a good sized business of well priced work.

We Have some really good well priced work, but my heart is not in it anymore, like I said the pressure washing side of things is what I love doing now, getting a new website designed, so hopefully that will help gaining more work ;D

I had the same problem.My Renault traffic wasn't big enough.Bought a Renault Master high roof long wheel base its fantastic.Lots of space and the big plus is you can stand up in it.All that stooping was a killer before.
I know its not always easy to throw money at a bigger van but it makes such a difference to your working day.Life is definitey easier.
-
Likewise... It seems still novel to be able to stand up in mine too ;D

I was going to get a proper bog fitted to mine but then thought flushing it onto the road oustside a customers house was a bad idea. Turds & bog paper sitting there would not win many customers over methinks ;D

I have some well priced commercial that I will keep but there's just so many windys round here willing to work for next to nothing that drives the prices down not to mention all the messers and slow payers, put it this way I have earnt more in one day p/w than a week of window cleaning.

When you have a full day of window cleaning with a full list of houses to clean it fills me with dread, and loathing . . . . but to do a couple of pressure washing jobs, well I am a happy man ;D
-
To be honest I'm happy with just one job in a day as there is more lucrative ways to earn dosh than just cleaning windows for sure.

What about a FULL day grass cutting and gardening - now that is dread. Love the jet washing, but it seems I cannot get enough time in the day to do it with all the bloody hedges I am cutting at the mo :'(

So is there good money to be made trimming women’s bushes? ;D
