I really don’t see a problem asking to use a customers toilet. If someone is working on my house and asked to use the toilet I would just say of course! It’s just basic manners isn’t it  ??? ???

i agree. dont see anything wrong with asking normally.. although with covid i wouldn't, and also i wouldn't ever ask someone who i didn't like and who didn't like me... AND i p in the van or down a country lane when i need to go. i have asked customers probably twice in 10 years

Got this one lady. Front only, £10. 5 minutes work, max.

Just think she is rude. Had a right go at me a few cleans back for not knocking first before I started.

Then on Friday I turned up and she was talking to a neighbour. She saw me but didn't acknowledge me.

At the end of the job I asked to use the toilet. She acted like it was the worst question in the world to ask and said no!

Torn between binning her or keeping as its such easy money.

Also she'd probably be the kind to leave a bad review on google, which I don't want.

May just say that we are only doing whole houses now and the price will be X, way above what she's paid in the past for whole house on the rare occasion that she has it done.

Thoughts?


It's not easy is it?  ::)roll

Part of the joys of getting older. I used to be able to go all day with out a toilet break, now it's probably twice a day on average. I have certain places I know I  can drive to and discreetly pee using the van as cover without being seen, that or the public loos in town but I reckon I must lose nearly  30mins a day just through going for a waz. Times this by at least 5 days a week and it impacts on your earnings  more than you think. I'd still never ask to use a customers toilet though.

why cant you open your side door of your van,lean in and pee in a bottle and empty it out under the van?it takes 2 mins then you can get back to work.....joe public cant see you...ive been doing this for years now

price higher/work harder!

I had a crap in a bucket in the back of the van once, about 3 years ago.

I was doing a large recently built domestic on the edge of Hampstead Heath, the only toilet I had access to was no better than the Egyptian street toilets Ive used when travelling round the country. So, a bucket, a turd and a rinse down the kerb was what occured. Has anyone else ever had a crap in their van. They stink afterwards.

It's not that bad daz apart from the few times you miss the bucket. A bit hard in the back of a Mondeo though 🤗

you can actually buy a bucket with a toilet seat plus lid for camping purposes, along with chemicals to put in.    store away discretely in van and use for those moments when you get caught short
