I just keep going, only doing 7:30am-11am these days. Will take off a few days close to Xmas anyway.


Your average day is only 3.5 hours long?

Yep, that’s the average now, latest midday. This week haven’t been later than 11am.

Leave the house at 7:15am. Or earlier on commercial.

My round is now so well refined, even my domestic work requires less than 4 hours to hit a good wage. I  could earn more, but I’m very happy where I’m at, my work like balance is perfect now.

Would also add, I work fast, I’m very efficient and I don’t mess about. I get it done and get home.

Is most of your work Commercial Zesty? I’m guessing it must be if you’re starting most days at 7:30. I do the same on Commercial but as it’s still dark there’s no way I’d start domestic work at that time especially in the winter.

You clean residential between christmas and new year ?

Always have done, since I started in 2008. Usually do a round or two between Xmas and new year, all my work is monthly, so each week there is work due, I tend to  stick to the routine unless we’re away on holiday…

No way would I be turning up to clean domestic jobs in between xmas and new year but each to their own!😆

Was thinking of cutting a few down to 400mm by 2400mm and then fixing something on top to give a bit of grip.

Are you mad?  ;D

Use a backpack on a sack truck or drop the job.  ::)roll

We got a notification from Paul's daughter Joanne on the other forum that Paul passed away last Thursday 27th November 2025.
Thank you Paul and may you rest in peace.

Thanks for letting us know Spruce - I have edited the title of this thread. Perhaps you might pass on the condolences of all the forum window cleaners?
