Which do you prefer and why?
-
rural. higher hourly rate
-
Depends. As a rule rural.
However we've picked up a decent wedge of work this year on London and the rate of pay can be phenomenal.
Cannot stand estate work.
-
Medium to large rural jobs do it for us.
-
I like working rural, pleasant surroundings beautiful views. Estates make the most money and seem a more reliable source of income for me.

I prefer my rural work, as I love the tranquility of working in peace and quiet with stunning views.
Only trouble with my rural work is, I can only carry 400ltrs of water, so can't get a full day's work done without a long round trip to fill up.

Woowal.
People are less inclined to mess me about. Nice to watch the seasons change, man.

You need both.

You need a bigger van Lance or use a ro/di sytem on demand . That's if they have an outside tap

Not a lot of point now Alan, as most of my work is now in the hands of the other guys. I do go to Lambourn every other month though and it would be nice to do a full day without worrying about running out of water.

It won't be rolling in quick enough for the next two or three months as I start to fill out after taking on another employee. It's amazing how quickly you seem to catch up when you take another one on. I'll be desperately seeking fascia and gutter jobs in the short term.

Both is good.

Lance I will pass your name on to any Lambourn jobs that come through that I don't want to do or they just can't afford me ;D ;D
Oh and I hate race horses with a passion too. Mind the stable girls are not so bad :P

He won't be able to do them as he can't carry enough water. ;D

I know that is why I said it ;D ;D
Anyhow I don't have 5-6 vans on the road so Lance must be doing something right. Just imagine the reaction he would get if all six vans turned up for a single large job. How impressive would that be? Mind 5 of them including Lance would be doing bugger all exept drooling at the stable girls execpt for the female of his crew doing all the work :D

Anything but council

Stop picking on me you 2. I can't help it if I've got a little one 😂

It's so small when full it drags its arse on the floor as you drive past ;D

most of my work is in the leafy suburbs and rural and they are pleasant areas to work however ive still got some council/housing association properties(older mainly retired people) here and there.what i like about these are the customers are generally in when i clean and are more down to earth and friendly and pay there and then in cash.more chance of a cuppa too!. :)
swings and roundabouts.

why?low priced?awkward access jobs?dog crap gardens?parking issues?

Would have said rural until yesterday, one of my 12 week rural mansions, the state of the windows where unbelievable, spiders webs covering pollen spots, bird muck and snail trails.
Took me an hour with my cobweb brush just to get to the dirt, have never seen them this bad, better money than smaller more
compact but harder work.
Sorry I don't have a picture with my van to prove it. lol.

Boredom!!!!

All my work is estates. Some ex council and some very posh indeed, with big electric gates. I have only one job in the country which I do cheap cause it's a lovely location (and it's a care home). Last time I cleaned it a Herd of cows from across the road came to watch. Naturally, I made sure I rinsed properly and wiped the sills ;-)
