There is so much work out there in the domestic sector mate.

Commercial work sounds good and there is much more work involved hence good money trouble is in the downturn were having is less commercial work and slow payments or even companys folding and not paying.

winter pressure washing is slow though, people seem to only bother in spring and summer altho their drives look a discrace all through the winter.  why dont people bother in winter, its winter when you notice how bad the drive is as when its wet it looks more dirty. and its slippier in winter.  i think its just a general opinion now that you dont have you drive cleaned in winter. i think its stupid.

we need to "big up" winter washing as it needs to look good for christmas visitors and for health and safety reasons.

Guys

Go onto window cleaning forum or search gutter vac before taking the plunge
Some real interesting debates exist on the pros and cons - I spent two-three months monitoring this topic.

i suppose if i had a spare 1500 quis it could be a usefull bit of kit, its all down to advertising i suppose, no one wants to clean their own gutters or get up ladders so it seems like a good idea really!
