Title: Working near Hyde park/Kensington
Post by: Shane sharples on November 29, 2015, 07:27:40 pm
Just took the kids to Lapland uk and whilst driving through the area, very posh, totally crammed with traffic I thought to myself- I would NEVER want to be a windy here, I can totally understand why you guys charge extra for working in these areas now as it must be such a PITA !! no parking, sat in traffic, near misses etc etc , that was a stressful time just trying to drive down the street!! good luck to all of you  👍✌

A lot of properties are massive and just look awkward with the windows in the basements and balconies and not much room to step back with all the cars parked up- respect to you mate , hope you charge a decent rate 👍

I hope so too as I think it'd be hard graft

One Hyde Park seems to be the most expensive apartments in the world.
I wonder who cleans their windows  ::)roll

I use to work in the west end,soho and Mayfair when I left school in 1996.early starts but early finishes I use to work for a company called sd cleaning I would get dropped off and walk to most of the jobs then get picked up at the last job when finished saw plenty of sites and like jimmi quite enjoyed it.

I do the Rooftop Gardens over in Kensington as a weekly. The other month  i was cleaning the windows whilst Richard Branson was eating his breakfast watching the flamingo's on the roof, he smiled said good morning which made my day.
Do quite a bit around London and its our most profitable work.
Agreed early start at 5.30 but im normally  home by 11 am after doing a days work as driving against the traffic.
