Normally 450-500litres. On a very busy day like today, 600litres. I graft when the weather is dry so I can afford days off when it's raining if I choose to as I'm not a lover of getting wet at the start of a day. If I'm out when it starts raining I'll come home when it's time to wring my socks out :)

Some days I do 4 big houses, some days 15 or so smaller ones.

30 houses? Ain't enough hours in de day brother. :o

Some days are mainly simple bungalows, so unless there's a complicated conservatory or they're leaded or georgian, then the wfp doesn't even come out the van.

16 houses on monday. Mostly detatched, but a few semi and council terrace.
Used approx 350 litres. 5 hours work with travel in between.
This is with a van mount. Used to do the same with a trolley and 250 litres but took 7+ hours.

So I take it you weren't being serious the other day when you said you earn £500 a day with relative ease!

(Unless you're charging around £36 per 3/4 bed semi)

ok cleaning

Cool, I was surprised how many replies we have this morning..... so it looks like generally most people are using about 250 - 300 litres? Right, I'm the water tax officer, pay up!(only joking ;D)

So I would be better getting a 250 instead of 100 for the boot of my estate? I'd imagine I'd need it secured otherwise right? Well, I'm gonna count how many times I fill up today and see how much I'm using!

Sell your estate and get a van.

Its always nice to have have spare capacity within the tank...having a 500litre tanks does not mean you need to fill it...but I started with a 250 litre and wished I had bought the larger tank straight away.
