Welcome to the forum.

If you want it, go for it mate.  I was 22 when I started on my own.  Going from commercial to domestic makes it a lot easier.

And me. I didn't go self employed until I was 40.

Welcome to the forum.  I do mostly domestic and don't have a problem. Granted there are some houses you can't get out of quick enough.

I prefer the whole set up in commercial and industrial personally, and yes I know exactly what you mean by cant get out quick enough sometimes, I left one house cleaner than when I entered,

Yeah sorry bout that but I was away on a commercial job at the time!

You get to meet all levels of society when self employed doing domestic, some that you would rather not meet.

One house I wouldn't even use their loo for a pee it was that disgusting. I crossed my legs and finished the job quickly.  But thankfully that is the exception rather than the rule.

You get to know your patch, and get to know the good and bad places.  I can afford to be a bit picky, and if I don't like the sound of a job or a customer, then "I'm Busy" or a sharp intake of breath through the teeth and "that's going to be expensive"

Unfortunatly working for someone I don't get that choice otherwise I'd do the same, I know my patch as Iv lived here all my life but I don't know how people can work in such grubby houses, I know commercial and industrial can be as dirty if not more but in someone's house it seem so much more personal being around there mess, I guess I'm just funny like that.

You have hit the nail on the head there, domestic, commercial, office, shops etc.. can all have really bad places that you cannot leave fast enough. But it is only when you are the boss that you can actually have the choice to decide which places you want to work.
