I live in Stoke on Trent - about four miles from Alton Towers.
Yesterday I went down to Grafham Water - near to St Neotts, Cambridgeshire and stayed over on the Caravan Club site there so I could be fresh for a meeting with Ian - Window Washers this morning at ten.
We had a look at the window cleaning requirements on this job and we sat and went through the requirements and technicalities and had a good meeting.
Drove back up North to pick up the 650 litre tank in the for sale section, at junction 26 of the M1 - thanks Dave!!!
Just had a phone call - can you do us a trial clean on a canopy - in Clacton - Essex?
When?
Tomorrow
So now I am just about to drive back down past Cambridge (on the exact same road I have just driven up earlier) to park up overnight in Clacton, do the trial clean and then get back up to price some works up local tomorrow night
love it!!!.
Would you do this?

Thank you for coming down Rob,
Was nice Sausage and mash, you should have had some ;)
Answer to your question: would I do it ?: If the money is there, then to right, I am in business to make money ;D
Nice to meet you today and I will be speaking with the guy in the next couple of days :)
I have a few questions for you in relation to spiders etc, but will call once I have spoken to the directors of company.

Hi,
Why would you travel all that way for a trial canopy clean ??? Surelly it would make sence to knock on a few house doors in your road or the next. Or am I missing something here?

Nice to see two civilised forum members getting on.
What would worry me is all the money you are not earning when you are rsing about in caffs with Ian.

We finished the meeting off in a cafe, saved time having to stop for lunch also a chance for a coffee ;)

You did miss something!!!
It was for a supermarket in Clacton - that is being refurbished. I have just got back (13.45), the A14 was a nightmare!!!
It was one of those situations. My client rings me and asks the question.
I reply by saying it may be cheaper for me to contact someone local and get them to do the sample cleans
My client says NO!! I want you to go - how much will it cost me.
If I don't put myself out I leave a door open for someone else to come along, who is more flexible and more prepared to go the extra mile (quite literally!!!).
A lot of what I have done over the last couple of weeks has been looking at works to see if they are problematic and how my works will impact on the client, their customers and the public. It is just over much bigger distances than most will cover.
The running around is part and parcel of the job - so that it runs smoothly when we do start the works.
I also need to be able to put together site and task specific method statements & risk assessments, I can't do that without running around.
Discount - I agree there wasn't much money earned yesterday but if yesterdays meeting pays off then it will be payday!!!
