It's not too bad over here, wiper setting #2, but I just couldn't be bothered with it, was cold and soaked (wearing my polo lol) and went home.
Should have checked the satellite images.

I've got two teams out today cleaning gutters and conservatory roofs all day.
This type of work comes in steadily and has been building up for the past couple of weeks, days like this are just ideal for them!
It started raining here at 8am and is still coming down just as hard now 2pm.

We had a little bit of rain this morning but this afternoon it has been sunny but a little windy

Get yourself on a carpet cleaning cousre...buy yourself some nice equipment then work in doors for 4 times as much as you do in window cleaning never worry again.....but keep the window cleanign side of your business but nice not to worry about it when it rains...rains..rains

We do con roofs and gutters in all weathers, however I normally wait until we have enough to last a full day, on average it's probably 1-2 days a month that we do this.
It's all done with ladders, which I still think is the most effective and best way, some of the jobs today had small trees and lawns growing in their gutters with roots that went half way down the drainpipes and I don't think the gutter vac could handle that!!
I've looked at the gutter vacs, but more often than not we can have the job done with ladders and drain rods before we'd have had time to get the gutter vac out and set up, plus the expense of the machinery is too high to justify for the amount of work we get from cleaning gutters.
We always do it in pairs and use ladder stand-offs and rojak ladder stops.
Gutter/Fascia cleaning and Conservatory cleaning is more lucrative than window cleaning but often a lot harder work.
