Hi i know this subject has probably been covered a few times before but was just wondering how many of you work in the rain on domestic work?? I personally work in very light rain but anything worse then customers turn you away and say there is no point. Any comments would be great

All my quotes have my terms on the back. Including "working in the rain". I guarantee that the result will be just as good as working in the dry, and promise to come back and do it again if theres a problem.
We never get called back
Having said that, now Im an old git I dont go out in the rain anymore, I might go rusty
I leave that to you youngsters.

This is the age old problem. Personally I don't. Fortunately many wet days are not wet all day. It's hard to adjust sometimes but even if you can do a couple of hours you feel better.
Today I don't think that's going to happen, just hope it's dryer tomorrow.

I always just carry on and if any questions are asked I state that it makes no difference, it just means I get wet. Very little rain falls directly onto windows unless it's very windy.
Working in high winds is taking the mick, well by the coast it is, makes things a bit salty
