Whats the general perception of window cleaners working on a sunday?
Well, theres lots of folk work on a sunday, shop workers etc......
I think as long as your not banging ladders about at silly o clock in the morning, and waking people up on their 'lie in day' than it would be perfectly fine & acceptable to work on a sunday.
The weather often dictates when we can work, so if its a good working day on a sunday, do we go out and catch up on lost time?
Cheers, Ryan

I'm going to start working on sundays, when i can get the van off the drive ::)
I have got to catch a few weeks up :P

This was something i was considering doing aswell.
As you say you see alot of people working on a sunday now.
-
Do it of you want. Explain to customers and get them used to it. Those most agreeable you could save for Sundays.

Re-charge during the week, when off work due to the weather. A day of rest is a bit old fashioned in my view.

Couldnt agree more, just put in a extra hour a day, or speed up ;D people have family and friends round on a Sunday the last thing people want to see while eating a roast is a window cleaner.

The original poster did mention the weather. A customer might be at work themselves, not have a roast, not have family round,be on their own and glad of the company ;D, be in the pub.......there`s too many possibilities to say yes or no.

theres a fellow around here cleans every Sunday,everyone has a laugh about it,all the other cleaners know why he does it,, hes on other peoples patches ;D ;D
-
Just do odd commercial on a sunday and have done odd domestic leading up to xmas just so every one gets windows done before xmas but wouldnt do them rest of year like sundays off
-
I do Sundays if I need to catch up. I know the people who do not mind so I just do them.

I`ve not done it myself but good luck to you.
-
had this before ; get a hoby and practice cleaning windows
if you get fast you wouldnt even contemplate working a sunday nobody in their right mind
would do domestics.
-
I often do some commercial on a Sunday. I sometimes do domestics too - though I would never start before 10 on domestics.
Quite simply, they keep saying that there is a recession. This makes it harder to increase my prices. The only other two reasonable alternatives are work faster or work longer hours. When it's put that way, my customers are usually happy for me to do them a huge favour by working on Sunday as it saves me charging them more ;D
