lashing it down and just got soaked 

How many of you guys work straight through the rain and do you get any moaning customers?? "not today please it's raining"  3 weeks behind on work and I need to catch up.. 

[gary999]

been torrential here and windy total waste of time...normal rainy conditions
though light to medium steady rain no problem

[Ian Lancaster]

I used to carry a wad of 'Rain Guarantee' leaflets in the van.  Before you start put one through the door - it may make them think before telling you to ---- off

On the other hand I hated getting soaked, so usually just went home

If you're three weeks behind now and you go all out to catch up, you must surely have to take time off in the future or you'll be back on those jobs too early?  A couple of days doesn't matter - next time you'll just be a couple of days early from the time you actually did the job but if you do a job that's three weeks late surely you can't go back and do it on original schedule next time - if it's a monthly that would mean re-visiting after one week.

Last weekend it was heavy rain down here, i worked anyway

Found that in a lot of cases its actually easier as the water sheets down nicely where the glass is already wet. Still got hot, but wasnt unpleasant like in the hot sun.

As it was a rainy saturday everyone was in so got paid like 90% of what was being done, plus what was owed!

The first 2 custies said I was a hero for soldiering on..

one then said i should be on 'worlds most extreme jobs - wc in the rain' - was a joke but had to laugh
 - then he paid me

a couple ask how we dry the windows as we usually get, then i give them a leaflet of wfp and give the blurb that rainwater doesnt affect the finish and can come back if there are any problems - there werent


I have to say i probably prefer working in the rain than the blistering sun no sunstroke

[andrew hamshare]

Tbh, it's my choice NOT to work in the rain.

I am a very compassionate boss to myself, often giving myself half a days leave at short notice.  

[David Lingard]

haha andy can i come work for you?

[dotty]

romancing get you no where nobody cleans windows in p down days if you turned up at my house in this horrible weather i would rugby tacle you to ground and tell you to not come again even postman shunt be coming to my house in this sort of weaher

[David Lingard]

Lol dotty it must be bad where you are

[Halfadaylee]

I don't think I mind the getting wet part it's customers looking at you like you killed there cat.

why the hell would you want to work in the rain fair enough if your out and it rains fine but to go to work in it na

[Blue Frog Systems]

if its time to put waterproofs on its time to go home in my book

[David Salkeld]

My opinion:

Rain does not affect the window cleaning with WFP.
But.....I ain't getting wet through!!
The answer is:
1.Get some good waterproofs.
2.Honestly explain to any questioning customers.
3.No quibble guarantee

48 hour rain guarantee. No problems. Wettest spring/summer of all time(?), gotta keep working.

Unless it's lashing down horizontally. But to be honest, the weather needs to be pretty bad before windows get dirty. Joys of wfp.

[gary999]

blowing a gale today and torrential here today total waste of time cleaning in those
conditions.

if it starts raining when im out i stay out in average rainy conditions,if its raining
when i get up when i look out of window,i go back to bed until it stops

[stuart mc]

had a customer today, she asked me do you only come when it is raining? I said no it just works out that way, explained that if I didn't work in the rain I would only work about a hundred days a year, I also said if your windows are bad call me and I will rectify but she replied no it is ok I just thought you seem to come every time it is wet

thing is she is right I always have a list of customers on standby who don't pay quickly and are always out who I go clean in any weather, she is the first one to notice though been doing three years though

I must make an attempt to that one on a good day in future, it is a good job and worth a few bob

[Barnes Wallis]

Do you wok in the rain?  Poll.

[G Griffin]
