About Me

I'm Dan and I run Sorrell Pressure Wash & Windows here in Colchester. I've spent most of my working life either driving vans or working in kitchens, but now I'm doing something for myself and it feels good to be building something I'm proud of.

I started out as a chef when I was 16 and did that for about ten years. I enjoyed parts of it but the hours were rough and it wasn't something I wanted to do forever. After that I moved into van driving. It was steady work and gave me a bit of balance, but after a while I realised I wasn't really learning or moving forward.

Window cleaning sort of came out of nowhere. I started doing it on the side and found I actually liked it. It's hands-on, you see the results straight away, and it's just satisfying work. I got made redundant in June which gave me the push to go full-time with it, and I'm glad it did.

I'm trying to build a business that's reliable, straightforward and based on trust. No nonsense, no hard sell, just proper work done right. If you saw me out on a job I'd want you to feel fine stopping for a chat. That's the kind of business I want to have — local, genuine, and easy to deal with.

I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I do. Seeing the difference after a clean never gets old and I've met some really good people doing this job. I'm learning a lot too — how to actually run a business, how to market it, how to keep things organised. It's all new but I'm enjoying figuring it out.

I show up when I say I will, I do the work properly, and I take care of people's property. I use pure water systems for window cleaning so the glass stays cleaner for longer with no streaks. For pressure washing I take my time and do it properly — no rushing or cutting corners.

If you're in Colchester, Stanway or nearby and want someone reliable who actually turns up and does the job right, give me a shout.

I post bits of what I'm up to on Instagram — the work, the behind-the-scenes, and what it's actually like building a small business.
