Happy 2013

2013-01-03T12:01:00.000-08:00

Firstly may I wish everyone and Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Secondly may I apologise for not adding anything to the Blog for quite some time.

Well, 2012 is over, we all survived the end of the world ! Blackpool never made it back to the premiership ! And I did not win the lottery or make enough money to retire so it's back to work in 2013 !!

2012 was a very good year for Fylde Caravan Cleaning, it was our busiest ever and it was great to visit a number of new caravan sites where work was undertaken.

We made considerable investment to the business during the latter half of 2012, a new more powerful pressure washer, an additional baffled water tank to enable us to carry more water and the van was completely refurbished inside to enable us to not only carry more equipment but also make the equipment more easily accessible.

Caravan cleans are already booked in for March when the season starts from some of our regular customers, so thankyou to those customers returning once again. Also we have booked in some Conservatory cleans and some House Roof cleans for when the weather gets a little better.

I do hope that the business continues to grow this year as we are now in our 5th year of trading and I still enjoy every minute of my job.

Don't forget, if anyone would like any advice or information, just get in touch and we will be only too happy to help.

Good luck to everyone for the coming year

Another New Caravan Site Visited

2012-04-26T10:40:00.002-07:00

On Tuesday I was asked to clean 2 x static caravans at Clifton Fields in Blackpool. This is the first time I have worked at this site and I was extremely pleased to receive the following email:

"Hi Garry, just to say Linda and ourselves are absolutley delighted with the results of your hard work and would recommend your work to anybody, I left your cards in the office with the BOSS woman herself who had also seen your work and was well pleased, in fact she said they did already recommend another firm but after watching you they will now recommend you and give out your cards instead (hope it does you some good) .. If you need any testimonials anytime, just give us a call we would recommend you anytime, once again MANY THANKS !!! George"

It is so nice that people take the trouble to contact you and give you positive feedback, it makes all the difference. Thankyou George

Caravan Season Is Upon Us

2012-04-09T12:25:00.000-07:00

I can't believe we are a quarter of the way through 2012 already. We have been extremely busy so far this year and lets hope it continues.

It is now easter and as usual the weather has taken a turn for the worse, although I am sure we are all appreciating some rain. Lets hope water levels get restocked before the sunshine returns!

Since the Caravan sites opened at the beginning of march we have been cleaning away and I am very pleased to say that we have been working at sites that we have not visited before as well as all our regular sites.

2012 has been are busiest year so far and we would like to say a BIG THANKYOU to all our returning customers and to our new customers, who we hope will return.

There is nothing much else to report at present but we we would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and hope everyone has a great season in their caravans, whether touring or holidaying in statics.

A Clean Roof

2011-11-11T06:13:00.001-08:00

October has been a very busy month, lots of uPVC cleaning, caravans cleaned and winter protected, conservatories cleaned, block paved driveways cleaned & re-sanded and this roof. What a state it was in, thick with lichen but now looks like brand new, photo was taken when I was half way across the front - the back was even worse !!!

Black Streak Removal

2011-10-24T11:30:00.000-07:00

I get asked many times what causes black streaks on caravans and how can I remove them, and also why do they come back?

Firstly, black streaks are usually found below rubber seals etc, around windows and doors, and can be caused by the rubber deteriorating, for which there is no cure (other than new rubbers). Another cause is road grime and dirt etc settling on the roof of the caravan and running down when it rains leaving black streaks on the side of the van.

They can however be controlled and kept to a minimum by regular cleaning using a good quality cleaner such as Fenwicks Black Streak Remover. The idea is not only to remove the black streaks that have already formed, but to ensure that the rubbers are kept as clean as possible so that they do not cause black streaks to run down the paintwork.

Some people assume that applying polish to the paintwork will stop them but this is incorrect, regular cleaning is the best approach and rinse with Fenwicks Bobby Dazzler, as this not only leaves the paintwork shiny, but it leaves a protective coating on the paintwork, which is completely removed the next time the van is cleaned. Thus everytime you clean the caravan, you are cleaning and treating the actual paintwork not just cleaning dirt off the built up layers of polish.

2 Caravans 'put to bed for winter'

2011-09-22T07:17:00.000-07:00

Today I have been to my regular haunt, our local caravan site / storage facility. I have cleaned 2 touring caravans and covered them in Fenwicks Overwintering, they have been sited on pitches all season but now cleaned and protected they will be removed from site and put in the storage compound until next season (March).

The winter can throw all it has at them, but I know that come March they will be cleaned again and look as good as new. Winter is no match to the power of Fenwicks & Fylde Caravan Cleaning.

Anyone interested in Overwintering protection see www.fenwicks.info/ or contact us at garry@fyldecaravancleaning.co.uk

10% Discount for returning customers

2011-09-19T12:39:00.000-07:00

Recently I did a marketing exercise where I sent out letters to some of my past customers. I advised them that it had been some time since I carried out the work and if they would like the work carrying out again, I would not only charge the same price as last year, but I would give them a 10% discount as well.

This means that they are paying 10% less than they did last year!!!!

This proved very successful and a number of past customers have re-booked.

I am now offering a 10% discount to anyone who books work with us and mentions this blog. Just mention that you have read this blog after you have been given a quotation and 10% will be deducted.

Winter has arrived

2011-09-14T01:07:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like what little bit of summer we had is over, the wind and rain has arrived. The leaves are starting to fall from trees and clutter your garden up. Everything looks unsightly.

Driveways, Paths & Patios are looking dirty and slippy, Guttering is becoming blocked with leaves, Windows are looking grim.

Many people think ' well I will leave it over winter and get things cleaned up in the spring ready for summer' - this is wrong! NOW is the time when you should be getting your gutters cleaned out so the rainwater can flow away properly, get the driveway cleaned and remove all the dirt and moss so IT DOES NOT BECOME SLIPPY WHEN WET. You need to prepare your outside surfaces now for the winter to minimise the effects that winter will have on them. Sure they will need another clean in spring to brighten everything up, but if you keep on top of them and remove the dirt you cant see that accumalates over summer then your driveway, paths, patios etc will not get as dirty in winter, algae will not form as much and the driveway will not look as dirty and more importantly it will not become as slippy with the constant soaking it will receive.

Your house is the most expensive assett you will purchase and yet many people neglect it over winter, look how dirty your car gets over winter and you dont just leave it and say 'i will clean it again in summer' do you? No, you clean it on a regular basis, so why leave your biggest investment to succumbe to the perils of winter?
