Are you looking for experienced people who you can sell work to? I'm just asking because I'm thinking about going self-employed and I want to know if people like you need an experienced person for whatever reasons.

Looking to start w/c buis this month as a trial to see if i can make a go of it.
Starting off part time in afternoons. Have ordered wpf hope to get it soon and give a trial run. How long have you been doing w/c and how is wpf working out for you. Are you reducing your round with a view to doing something else?
I take it your wpf is van based do you find problems with distance from van with hose length?
Sorry lots of questions just starting out so many things to sort out.
Regards

I only started cleaning a year ago, the thing that attracted me to w/c was that you only needed a ladder and 50 quid to start.
Soon realised that i wasnt earning enough from a ladder.
I made up my wfp from items on the internet as all the different companies seemed to be selling basically the same stuff with their own stickers on it.
I have a van based set up and a 1000 litre holding tank,i think including poles it cost around 1200 quid all in, if you want details let me know.
Some window cleaners rubbished it to start but now i have been using it for about 9 mths at least two people have made up identical kits.
the work i want to lose is a bit fragmented and probably wouldnt suit one person,i am a greedy b*****d and when i started i just couldnt say no when people asked me to do their friends etc. I have been giving it to other cleaners i bump into on my travels bit by bit.
I am not giving up window cleaning as it suits me after years of driving up and down the country at the whim of some tw*t in an office
If you are local ill show you how to get into wfp cheaply
As for problems with length of hose its easier to pull a hose round than climb a ladder but i really hate wheely bins they catch the hose every time

Post by: Allways Cleaning on March 09, 2006, 10:28:00 pm: Hi Steve
been wondering about large tank I have 1000l on my pressure washer and its a sod as its not baffeld. so have invested in wpf trolley, hopefully got a decent one ...time will tell. settting up ro-man this weekend hope to have some water sorted to have a practice. Hows your first year been, better or worse than you thought. Poss local to you in Sholing, could do with some info on suppliers etc that would be a great help. been using a local supplier but they dont have alot in stock everything is ordered cant go and see its just in maggs. Van based system is also a possibility but for the future I have ten 20l containers so max 200l in total enough to be going on with. Could use pump on trolley left in van has varistream so not too bad. just need hose have a medium pole and vikan brush so a good start. would you mind telling me how you price up jobs seen lots of different suggestions like 75p per frame ground floor £1 1st floor etc. or do you just make it up? post code tax? so £10 for three bed house if good access more for difficult buggers. Do u do domestic is it much better? So many questions again appoligies. ah getting tired now time to go to work soon.
Kind Regards Paul
