Hello to all from over the pond.

We currently have pressure washing operations at seven supermarkets, at various different locations around the UK,, some as far as four hours away.

I work on and organise pressure washing to three of our top five supermarkets and as it stood I had arranged pressure washing for a team of two at a supermarket two hours away from our operational base for tonight. That was the work for the week.

In the last hour we have managed to get another rush job an hour away (let down by someone else), for two men and a further one for myself three hours away. The works will see us through to the end of the week.

Thanks. It's a 75 for the most part, some very minor parts are from different years. I bought it about 12 years ago as a total basket case, a stripped out shell. It took about 5 years of very part time restoring to get it back to this condition. It's actually taken 1st place a few times at some of the car shows.
 
Thanks guys

Hello car!!!

Our current climate is probably much like yours. The government have decided that we all need to pay with increases in VAT & taxes to bail out the mistakes of government & the banking system, whilst the members of parliament & fat bankers keep on getting bonuses & handouts from the system.

I would say that my works are probably different to most in the UK in that they are completely commercially based and I am sure that the pressure washing of residential properties is struggling as we go into our third year of recession.

The supermarkets (we all need to eat) continue to make profit but seem to be buying up smaller supermarkets and turning them into 'locals' so there has been a small decrease in month on month sales but they have been outweighed in my operation by gaining new clients at the top end of the market.

I notice that you all have 'rigs' over the water and our set ups are much more van based. I had two box trailers last year, that we towed with vans but we are hit with Tachographs and much stricter regulations on towing commercially outside a 50km radius so got rid of the trailers and went back to vehicles.

Is your economy still good for residential & commercial pressure washing??

Are there regulations over there. Do you need to have a license to operate or anything like it. It is an open market here but as with most things the work tends to sort them out and the domestic market is very much April to October and then nothing.

My works are from january to the beginning of December, the supermarkets will have no works done over their busiest period and then January is generally just too cold to work.
