This guy was saying the same and it was to do with build up of debris in the pump.

Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Talk to me about franchising please

Well you are if your abroad - I’d be quite p!seed investing several grand and ongoing fees to only get the franchiser only accessible by phone or email

I'm not sure why it matters. It's only window cleaning it would be worrying if you had franchisees that couldn't be self sufficient and need their hand holding. What is it that would need you in person ?


By its very nature a franchisee wouldn’t be self sufficient, that’s the whole point of them buying into a  franchise isn’t it?  For the ongoing support and hand holding, aswell as being supplied the work. If they were just going to buy work and then go it alone they would just do that and not have to worry about ongoing franchising fees.

Scrap copper is about £5 a kilo. Did his charging cables really weigh 12kg?

I think they are talking about the cable that comes out of the charging station. They use boltcutters and chop everyone of them. Its a nice earner if you have a full row of them at a carpark. I think in future they will change to the same idea as the air hose. Once you put in your debit card then it will allow you to pull it out. It costs a fortune to fix it when its been chopped.

Even better idea is to just have a socket. Punters can carry their own cable.

normally with an unloader you just lose pressure (VRT) I cant remember far enough back for the K1 or 9 type

when you let go of the trigger are you recycling the water or going back to the buffer tank?

thanks darren much appreciated and fantastic post.

i bit the bullet and bought a pro foam from rutland as i had a few jobs in pipeline for using it.
what a fantastic bit of kit , put grey nozzle init with, my hypo with some sufrfactant , lauryl dimethaline oxide from local supplier and was bloody awesome, doused it out on and left 20 mins and the finish was unreal, so impressed tbf,
i tested it and left some of the black spots and lichen to see its effectivness, gobsmacked how a decent surfactant helps the hyo stick and disolve them

I think if i buy one guys, i will also need to add a trailer to my van. Fitting it all in looks a proper tight squeeze. I have my water tank in the van also, so that cant easily be taken out, anyone use a trailer, seems sensible to me.
I have a VW Transporter, will just fit a tower in i feel.

Probably better fitting a roof rack. I have a roof rack on my VW Hi Roof Crafter and that's where I stack my big scaffold frames on when transporting them to a job. Fit them on the night before and chain and padlock them onto the rack.
