Cleaning in DL4, honestly.
Written cleaner to cleaner. This is the ground truth the lead sites have never stood on.
The homes. Shildon work splits two ways: older houses near the centre with beams, flagstones and awkward corners, and estate homes that clean quick and easy. You'll clean both in a normal week — the character houses slow and careful, the estate homes brisk — and the diary is better for the mix. Roughly 236 sales a year across DL4 — each one a fresh doorstep where nobody has a cleaner yet.
The parking. Market-day changes the middle of Shildon; the rest of the week the parking barely merits a thought. Five minutes door to door between most jobs — the kind of geography that adds a booking a day. Soft water regionally means descaling is an afterthought; the craft that gets noticed here is dust, wood and streak-free glass.
The patch. Work in DL4 orbits Shildon, New Shildon, Sunnydale and Old Eldon. Around 4,771 households live here, and the ones who hire a cleaner tend to keep them for years. That's not a lead list — that's a working round, every week, forever.
