It'll sort the men from the boys, although Daz has already reserved his place in the mens cubicle.

On a cold water system how cold can it be and still work? Looking at -4 here all day. Thinking my hose will freeze at that temp ???

Moving water doesn’t freeze
Oil filled radiator over night, if you use a tap just leave it open so you have a trickle of water coming out.
Be sensible when and where you’re leaving water, maybe brush away any puddles you make...
Can’t be that hard can it?
Come Tuesday and it’ll be better anyway.

Moving water most certainly does freeze!!

Moving water doesn’t freeze ????? Only got to look at the poles to see that’s not true , moving water will freeze it will freeze nearest the outside of the hose first and then continue to freeze towards the centre

I remember back in 2010 , i was rinsing off panes on a connie and it was freezing solid as the water was sheeting down the glass .

At the end of the day if it's freezing on the glass it's time to call it a day we work in north Durham and the weather can be challenging at times to say the least. We work in almost any weather but at times even using hot all you achieve is leaving ice all over customers windows it's minus 5 here tonight and zero to one degree tomorrow so experience says take tomorrow off and do something else instead work more on the better days including Saturday's if required.

Yes p&f 2009 - 2010 was terrible but for those of us who got through it know this weather is nothing in comparison.

This week......
......I have mostly been eating, bourbon biscuits.

Moving water does freeze , a couple of years ago I was cleaning a window and the water started freezing as it was sheeting down and my brush stuck to the Rudy window!!
Went home and had a coffee ☕️ instead

If your using near on freezing water from your tank, running an already cold hose on freezing cold pavement/roads or over snow/ice as some may be doing and then finally applying that now very cold water onto a cold window or a cold conservatory window, the chances are it will freeze.
But, wack on the heat, be sensible in use and crack on earning a days wage....... Fantastic ;D

Gutter cleaning is no use, I've just broke my brand new softwash pump and everything else in the van is solid so I can safely say I'll be Christmas shopping tomorrow. Temp outside -7.6

I agree if it's freezing on glass it's time to call it a day, but it won't freeze at zero or one degrees apart from the odd conservatory so easily workable.

Everything is deep frozen here already and its going to get colder and colder till 9am, put the immersion on till morning but am taking the day off as kids school is closed due to weather tomorrow.
Back to it Tuesday with a vengeance! Been off since Thursday(mostly) so will be chomping at the bit .

I’ve got a strange week, work tomorrow, indoor job. Funeral down in Bristol Tuesday. Wednesday, back to the Monday job, carry on insides and hopefully finish them off.
Thursday, Grippa, hot water system being fitted.
Friday, might still be with Grippa or tinkering at work..

ive worked in -2 before now with a cold system but it was hard going.my jets freezed up a couple of times.take some hot water in a flask to thaw them out if they do freeze.you can also get ice building up on your pole near the clamps.your hose will freeze on frozen ground if you dont keep the water running through it too.also some windows without heating will freeze up almost instantly.
