    Pressure washing driveways

    Appreciate all these replies , glad people are being honest , I'd rather hear negatives too as I know it's not a finalised decision . I will be doing painting / decorating alongside to mitigate any failings on the pressure washing / gutter cleaning. I'm not looking for a crazy busy business with...

    Pressure washing driveways

    I do agree with you but I have to say it can vary wildly. At the moment I see dog walkers with old bangers doing just as well as myself with a sign written van. I think mine looks better but people don't seem to care about the van as much as the flexibility. Either way I sont be getting another...

    Pressure washing driveways

    Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you regarding the pressure washing, I'm not aiming to claim to be this and that , just providing a basic service. My pricing would reflect the fact that I'm using their water/ electricity to set up , from this I'd look to doing their guttering...

    Pressure washing driveways

    Dog walking is very saturated and not something I think I want to do again. To build up in bulk is the only way to turn a profit to make it worthwhile and it will take way too long to do that from scratch. The pressure washing would be literally using my own equipment but plugging into their...

    Pressure washing driveways

    Thanks for the reply. The pressure washing would really just be a small part ( if a part atall ) I would market myself really as a small general maintenance type of service so my fees would reflect this. My clients would be just local residents and the like. I have a good experience in...

I have been working self employed in a different industry for the past 15 years and relocation means I cannot take my local customers with me. It's...
