Title: Cheap trad start up?
Post by: LWC on August 13, 2010, 05:57:36 pm
My bro in law has been looking for work now for a while and i have told him to start up window cleaning. Hes done a few days with me and wants to give it a go.

Any cheap start up kits for sale? Like the whole kit, mop, blade, bucket etc. ive looked on a couple of sites and altho us getting channels and handles etc, might be a little mroe tricky for him. Thanks in advance

You're better off buying seperate items IMO than those kits.

haven't you got a local supplier where he can buy the bare minimum, lets face it when you first start you don't need much 99p bucket couple of scrims etc you can add extension poles and pouches, boab as you progress
