Title: caravan sites
Post by: rob child on February 15, 2010, 09:20:01 pm
hi all i was just asking does anybody on here clean any caravan sites? if so what are the rules/regs about getting the work?
the reason i ask is that my parents live on a site on the coast and it has around 1800 vans and the previous cleaner has moved away leaving them without a cleaner but my parents reckon ill need some permission/permit to work on site any ideas?

Go and do your parents windows and see if anyone else ask you to do theirs.

most caravan parks owners dont give a care in the world,  my misses worked at one last year and there idea of cleaning the out side was to walk around with the fire hose blasting everything they could,  once a year

I'm on my way there now!  ;D

Seriously, why not get your parents to contact the site manager about getting their caravan cleaned. They could put your name forward as their preferred cleaner and he might well ask you to do any cleaning that is required. Would it be regular or seasonal work? Would the work be one-offs?

Unless it's written into their lease agreement for their pitch that they have to use the site's contractors, owners will be perfectly entitled to employ anyone they choose.

The only possible objection could be that the site is private property, so any cleaner would have to have permission from the owners for access.

Ask your parents to get in touch with the manager to ask about cleaning their caravan. They could ask the manager to arrange for a quote from the non-existent cleaners. When a month or two has gone by and he hasn't seen anyone, then offer your services again. I think you might have to be patient on this one. Good luck!  :)

ive got one in bognor
there leaflets on the reception desk charging 25 quid for jetwash and windows etc
i dont think they really care get loads of poope shuved under the door builders pizzas windows cleaning etc etc etc
the big sites owned by haven and co like them can be a bit funny
it all depends on who drops the fattest brown envelope to the security guard on the gate

we went to haven caravan site at cleethorpes (thorp park or summit)last year and it was all right, nice caravan and all, but the windows were in a right old state......could be a buck or two for the local squeegee boys.....dunno if cleethorpes has any....they might have to travel from grimsby or even as from far away as hull 8)

nice one clee....hey i should have guessed your location from your name ;D

cleethorpes is a nice wee toon......didnt like the theme park out side of the caravan site  if i am totally honest....but the indian restaurant was good......the park itself was pretty cool, pricey for beer though....but it was a good weekend.

fair few caravans to get through there clee ;)

read this post with interest and went to my local site. but they all had funny accents and dogs and kids everywhere, the guy i presume was the site owner was called big pat and all i could make out was something about dog fighting and did i have a dog, then went on to offer to tarmac my drive. then when i got back to van and got home, i opened the back doors and it was empty.

cant think how.  very strange :o
