I work in all weathers, including rain. Always have done.

Only time i wont work outside is if it is lashing down sideways with high winds, that's just stupid

Cleaning with dirty water.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Working in lovely sunshine yesterday and my 95 year old custie says " hardly worth doing them today, it's going to throw it down tomorrow"
I say
Won't do them at all if u want
She laughs and I clean and get paid
If she had meant it I would've dumped her on the spot, 95 or not!!!


I had one back in the summer, it was 26 degrees, red hot. Pulls hose out goes round back where husband was working. "Its going to rain tonight mate" he says. I laughed and carried on. I thought it was a joke. When I realised it wasn't I said are you serious. Yeh, he says.. it's going to chuck it down tonight so wife won't want them doing today. Ok I said and wound hose reel back in. He them came up to the van and said, "can you call back next week".

I said yeh no problem...
Ive never been back.

Some would say it's stupid to work in heavy rain

Skipped monday and tuesday reluctantly.

Finaly went out today to finish off the catch up, customers were happy to see me clean the storms away.

Picked up 2 new customers that are at work in the week so working saturday wasnt all bad, l missed the bad weather and still got all my work out of the way before next week. Customers happy,l  got some new custom....win win.

Next week lm looking forward to, should be a walk in the park compared.

I'll work in the rain no problems here, but if the weather is such that l know for sure within12-24 hours after cleaning the windows will be filthy again. Or even within an hour after, then there's no point doing them.

I would feel like a right cxxt asking for money for a pointless service.

There has to be a cut-off point somewhere.

I don't even get the pole out. Just put a ticket through the door - the results will be the same.
