Seems every man and there dog wants fascia or conservatory cleans latley. I've built my round up to work monday to thursday so I can have a friday off or catch up if need be.

The first two fridays I'm due off and I get two big fascia cleans. Wish they would have thought about it a couple of months ago when it wasn't so hot and I wasn't so damm busy!

Oh well, more money in the piggy bank I suppose.

Yeah i found oh can you just clean this that or the other while your here?

I have a 3 week (at least) waiting list for current customers and a 5 week waiting list for non regular window cleaning customers.

Today im shattered, and i feel crap with all the heat during the week, im not able to sleep so im having a half day today to relax and try and recuperate a bit.

Money isn;t everything for me, i like time to myself so im taking that option today :D

Damm right there. One of the fascia jobs I picked up also wanted there windows cleaning 4 weekly and then they asked me to go round to there fathers bungalow and price up for the lot round there too. Turns out the poor guy has just gone into a home, but his daughter still wants the windows cleaning 4 weekly even though no one lives there.

I have had customers ask me, while I'm there can I clean the conservatory roof or guttering, and when I tell them that I cant do it right there and then they looked surprised lol.
I tell them I have a tight schedule, and cant just stop everything to clean the conservatory roof, I tell them extras need to be booked in. they dont understand I have other customers!! and how would they like it if I was running late for their scheduled window clean because I was cleaning other customers conservatory roofs lol
Reaching parts traditional window cleaners can not reach.
