Title: Working in the rain
Post by: Suffolkcleaners on February 09, 2009, 11:29:02 am

Hi i know this subject has probably been covered a few times before but was just wondering how many of you work in the rain on domestic work?? I personally work in very light rain but anything worse then customers turn you away and say there is no point. Any comments would be great :)

All my quotes have my terms on the back.  Including "working in the rain".  I guarantee that the result will be just as good as working in the dry, and promise to come back and do it again if theres a problem.

We never get called back ;D

Having said that, now Im an old git I dont go out in the rain anymore, I might go rusty ;D

I leave that to you youngsters.

This is the age old problem. Personally I don't. Fortunately many wet days are not wet all day. It's hard to adjust sometimes but even if you can do a couple of hours you feel better.

Today I don't think that's going to happen, just hope it's dryer tomorrow.

I always just carry on and if any questions are asked I state that it makes no difference, it just means I get wet. Very little rain falls directly onto windows unless it's very windy.

Working in high winds is taking the mick, well by the coast it is, makes things a bit salty ;D
