No, I’ve even picked up 10 new jobs this week that have sacked their window cleaner off due to spreading the virus. One said that their cleaner even admitted to going to the shops every day and speeding in his car on the empty dual carriageway. All are happy to wait for me 👍👍

Plenty of work in Doncaster - their windowcleaner has self isolated with writers cramp.

Is your wife still in the same well paid job? Maybe the absolute desperate ones are the only breadwinner in the family?

To be fair to them, there are quite a lot of people without the funds to go for a few weeks or whatever and they will genuinely be scared financially and maybe to proud to ask for help. Even the Gov saying they'll pay them is fine, but they need the money now. And i also think a lot of the "carry on its fine brigade" (who have got savings) are genuinely scared/frightened and out of their comfort zone and by insisting its ok to carry on they're trying to bring or keep some normality into their lives. Sad for all of us, we're all desperate for something or another.

Window Cleaning is a fairly well paid occupation, if you can't afford to take 3 weeks off then you are not running a successful business.
-
I think we’re all in the same boat, but looking at those countries further down the line, harder lockdowns are in place why play Russian roulette?
Cleaning Windows IS NO WAY essential so why take the risk, in fact if you want to go out why not volunteer. And deliver to those really vulnerable in society ?

If it was 3 weeks then no problem, take a holiday
The issue is it isnt going to be 3 weeks its going to be significantly longer.
Everyone has their own financial circumstances
I wont be getting feck all gov help as im not self employed, so im working despite having some savings.

They are saying this can go into September then to see what happens, on news now. Can you wait for September 6 Months

No.

No that’s not the case I’m working tomorrow and I don’t need the money I’m in the van from my house and to the job I won’t see a soul they know I’m coming in the sticks down a lane out the way.
Speak for yourself when you say we need the money,I’m doing a couple of days money in around 6 hours if I do that every week or so I’ll be happy if I can’t no worries.
Go to Tesco’s or that Bum shop-Asda-all the others if you want to catch something you’ve got way more chance there thsn you have going where I am in the morning.

Yes i am because my customers want me to. Ive given them the choice also offered fronts only all want backs done also. But only doing those i can contact wouldn't just turn up. All done within government guidelines.

If im wrong and it only last 3 weeks, then ive earned 3 weeks money anyway
If im right and it last months ive earned more money to last me during a complete lockdown
Either way working, for me, is the right thing to do.
My partner works in care, the risk of us getting this thing will come from her not me so may as well go to work.

Darran
I know volunteers are needed Darran and hats off to those who do, but I would think that volunteering brings with it a bigger risk of both contracting and transmitting the virus than what window cleaning does. I know volunteers are vital but that’s the reality of it.

I can afford to take 3 weeks off but like many others, choose not to. If you decide to take time off that’s fine, it’s your choice. But calling others desperate because they continue to work does you no favours at all.

we are all little cogs of a massive nationwide wheel . to stop the virus and stop the wheel completely we all need to play a part .
we are all worried , and its horrible for all of us .
just stay home if you can . if we all do this the sooner we will be back to normal.
I KNOW IT SUCKS !

Definitly working as have contacted customers who are happy im coming . This could go on for months ,so just as well work while youre able to. There is no right or wrong here ,if you want to stay at home fair play to you,but if you can work within the guidelines then also why not. There really is no need to have divisions on here .

Its not that simple mate . nobody wants to stay at home . some of us have invested thousands of blood sweat and tears . thousands in money terms .
its not about what customers want . what WE want . its about reality , and how we can make it better as soon as possible .
as a collective , we have to play our part. THE BIGGER PICTURE !
its scary seeing my partner off to work in hospital. we read all sorts of stuff on fb . but I can clarify this is very real

I've not lost even one job yet.......most customers are pleased to see me.......6 large domestics to clean tomorrow £240....4 hours work then I'll head home......
I've texted all of them so I'll crack on as usual......
My dads in an isolation ward in hospital in a bad way...this virus will probably see him off now but he was going to die soon from lung cancer regardless.......its not going to stop me working as I cant go and see him anyway.....
-
Yes very real ,but if we are being encouraged to continue work the goverment obviously dont see a problem as its a no contact job.
People are just going round in circles on here . If i thought I would cause any virus to anybody else then of course I would stop,simple as

Dont let your empire fall then.....get out and work if you can as your perfectly entitled to do so........and the risk is very small mate....just keep to the social distancing guidelines...wash hands frequently and dont accept tea and coffee......

Just keep working mate(safely).ignore the hysterical,panic stricken window cleaners.......dont let your business slide into the abyss.......

You can only work if you're using hot water. Cold water will spread the virus.

Lol if it was that simple we wouldn’t be in the situation we are in , very simplistic view

When you next go to the shops take a look around you and you tell me if you are safer there or at work,the minimum you need when you go shopping is a proper mask that covers nose and mouth and surgical grade disposable gloves.
When you get back to your vehicle the gloves need to be replaced again.
If you don’t do this when you go shopping you are always going to be at risk touching trolleys or baskets or anything other people have touched come to that matter,just because you ain’t working doesn’t mean you are safe if go out working not near anyone most of the day you are safer.

This gives you an idea of what doctors where for work now....

You ought to let the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies know that they've got it all wrong along with the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Officer.
I mean many of them have only spent their lives studying for this very scenario, so you'd better let them know that a semi-literate window cleaner from Hull has seen that they've advised the government incorrectly.
Well done, mate, not all super heroes wear capes (and some even have a bucket on a belt).

I’m staying off, last week I was like sod it im going working Monday then over the weekend seeing Italy hit 1000 deaths a day and Spain not far behind and they predict this week is a very important time for us with it forecast to double every 2 days I’ve decided not to.
I sat down with the wife and being the only bread earner we looked at our finances and I can last 4-5 months if needed but I will take it week by week and I know it will get worse before it gets better but if the predictions is this week is very crucial then I’ll take it off.
I know we all think we’ll be safe and no contact with custards etc but thinking about what you drag your hose through throughout the day and even reeling it in with a rag soaked in disinfectant I think there’s a chance you could still pick it up on your pole, clothing, van interior etc then take it home for your family😩
Good luck to you guys grafting if you need to go out and earn a crust and stay safe😉

Spot on. It's a shame I'm tee-total otherwise I could drive to the local off licence and grab a couple of bottles of whiskey because booze is obviously essential:

Excellent post, Mike.
I think you've just nailed all this bickering with that post.
You missed out the obligatory 'stay safe' at the end though (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1585520291_grin[1].gif).

Only that's not the full advice is it.
It's pretty clear that if you can't work from home you can travel/go to work.
So really where as I can respect people who don't wish to work your argument for not doing so is very much picking the bit of advice you want.

Sorry, I should have said: I'm working from home.
There's more than one way to skin an NHS, so I'm going to help them and stay at home.
Stay safe workers and don't be taking up hostipal beds.

We will see how you feel in 3 months time when we are still in this kind of lockdown. (Soft lockdown, not full).

Complete rubbish they are saying who can work when they say if you must travel if you can’t work from home,they don’t follow that by saying and that is only key workers. Builders window cleaners or any other trades they just say if you can’t work from home and you must work you must go by the guidelines,the 2 meter rule.

Been out today, not quite a full day but tell you what much better than being sat around looking at the news, forums etc and worrying.
2 customers chose to skip, 1 cancelled as just been made redundant. Other 14 cleaned no issues.
When I finished I nipped in morrisons just for a few bits and that confirmed to me I'd done the right thing working, I'd literally come into contact with no one until I went in there.
-
6 large houses cleaned today out in a semi rural location........no hassle and easy to bang out......i wish every day was like today but im cleaning estate work the rest of the week so im expecting a few skipped cleans and maybe a few parking issues.....still its better than staying home all day earning nothing.....
-
I'm not working because I want to protect the elderly, vulnerable and the NHS.

Getting quite a few skippers, 3 today and 4 so far for tomorrows work
mind you i am texting giving them the option to skip, i might just text as normal rest of the week :-X
On the positive side im getting a fair few back saying please carry on...
-
I worked today ,customers had no problem with it at all, zero contact. I do understand why some are not working ,but this could go on a long time and would rather work whilst I can and the customers still have the money ,because after all this I fear many will be out of work or be well tight of money for window cleaning . Do it while you can is my advice .

Exactly, no one know how long this will go on and those shutting down now could well be doing so prematurely. But as long as you can afford not to work you may as well have the time off.

I had the same kind of day as gomo , even did my shopping on the way home too
I am not waiting for the gov to say “ sorry you don’t qualify “

Anyone of you who have messaged customers saying cleaning services are off for a bit to then going back to work what did you message you’re customers when you decided to go back? I bet it would be a bit awkward lol

dont do this adam!just send them your normal text telling them your ll be calling tomorrow,no mention of the virus or the option to skip......if they really want to skip theyll let you know.....

There you go exactly what I’ve been saying me as well the worst I’ve felt last few days was when I was shopping for food etc,far more risk getting food to take back home so you don’t have to come out till you run out yeah,I don’t think so.

Yes I'll go back to normal texts.
No i never ask normally, but thought given the exceptional circumstances a bit of good will and understanding would help.
But you are absolutely ruthless daz :D just cracking on no fecks given.. ... I like it!

I agree but not only that they will also be thinking about mental health

I’m asking everybody through courtesy, I have only had a few leave it’s so far , some people really don’t have the money at the moment , you must give them the choice in my book.
One yesterday said no , I didn’t expect it as he has a half million house , nice motors , rental property , villa in Spain, he owns a hardware shop but has decided to close and furlough to protect his staff .
At the moment has no income , probably giving the tenant a rent holiday and still paying his staff from his own pocket .
So he maybe not all that well off for the time being.
If they skip it doesn’t matter as with all the cautions we are having to take now is slowing us down anyway !
-
I’m also keeping an eye on confirmed cases in my city .
250,000 residents and 50 cases so far

I asked mondays and tuesdays work and got total of 6 skippers and 1 cancel
so tomorrows 20 jobs ive just sent my normal texts and not asked, so far no one has asked to leave it.
I thought i was doing the right thing asking, but in hindsight thats making it easy for them and giving them an excuse to skip.
It was mainly the newer customers or flakey ones that chose to skip though

so tomorrows 20 jobs ive just sent my normal texts and not asked, so far no one has asked to leave it.
I thought i was doing the right thing asking, but in hindsight thats making it easy for them and giving them an excuse to skip.
It was mainly the newer customers or flakey ones that chose to skip though
get a book and keep a note of all the skippers and cancelled jobs as they could be classed as a covid-19 lose that's what i'm doing

That's what it's for, Paul; good idea.
I don't think you'll need to prove it but it won't do any harm and it might give you some peace of mind.
