if you want , get a water fed pole system they are far better than the old way, google wfp systems and see if there is someone near you who could sell you one .
its not hard to do wfp , thats what i would go for good luck
-
i was thinking if you got some doe off the army you could go for a 40 40 RO system
-
yes av got some money i was thinking traditional to start with to see how meny custys i could get then get a wfp. but my problem is knocking doors and what to say lol.
thanks

just use leaflets if you are afraid of knocking.
A good leaflet can get a good response

Buy a set of ladders,mop,squeegee,bucket on a belt,scraper,bucket,A frame,scrims and cut up some old towels.
Buy a escort van or similar size get a good roof rack fitted and summat to secure the ladders.
Print some leaflets,and take them door knocking-Simply say-"Hello,do you need a window cleaner??" If door not answered post a leaflet.
Absolutely no point at all in starting up with WFP-far too much outlay.Start small and work your way up.
Most of all,be confident in your approach to it.

Remember you will be coming in at a time when it is very overtraded. Take a look and the net and see how many windies there in your area.Google window cleaners in " AND YOUR AREA YOU would want to work."Do some market research and try to chat to window cleaners in your town.Do some door knocking first to see if there is a want to clean as many dirty windows does mean there is a need but not a want to have them cleaned.
