I have a brook running down the side of my house you can buy some of that it's a bit murky but if you dilute it with some tap water I'm sure it will be fine ;)

sorry to jump in, thats a ridiculous price, no way will someone pay that..
its cheaper to go to speedy or hss hire..
thers a guy in the town i live selling pure water for £15.00 for 650lts. still cheaper to make my own though.

I love it when people say things like that as if I havnt given it any thought at all, people do pay that mate, I sell water on a regular basis to many window cleaners and I have rented equipment out for that much before. One of my team turned over £900 in 6 hours last friday clearing the gutters of 2 blocks of flats next to each other. there is alot of money on those sorts of jobs and houses for that matter so if a window cleaner set that up for himself and paid £70 for the complete kit I think thats a nice deal, again we are doing £1200 of domestic gutters this week. Its the same story through the summer with jet washing of drives and patios.

Surprised you've got any gaps to rent your kits out ;D

You could bottle it and sell it as "Trowbridge Spring"

Works out dearer than petrol from my house :o

£1200 on gutters only in 1 week?
are you ripping people off? lol
no only joking, thats good news, how do you get that many jobs per week, il be honest i can knock £300.00 in a week on gutter cleaning on a very good week, apart from that its around 2 or 3 £60.00 jobs.

We have an annual gutter clearing round that our customers can join, it all gets done during our first cycle of the year. All these things come very easily when you start to approach things with the right mindset. its not a job its a business.

1 man did £900 in six hours, if i was paying that bill then i would think i had been ripped off. ???

I dont care what you think mate and your not the one paying the bill
they were 2 blocks of flats next to each other through a management company I have a contract with, their only other options were cherry pickers or scafolding. So in fact they were very happy with our price compared to the other quotes they had, and because of that we have another 5 through them over the next couple of weeks.

If your picking up that kind of billy ballpoop money why bother to rent out your kit for seventy quid?
I love this forum. ::)
-
Do you really need me to answer that!
Its called getting a maximum return on your investment. the kits we have are not in use every day with us.
-
Yes, and I'm the Pope! ::)
-
£70 for doing nothing - sounds good to me.
-
I bite your hand off at them prices if i needed them mate.....and well done for gettin well priced work like that. Its wierd how people call other people when they are doing well for themselves >:( ;) ;)

Less than you mate, guess were not the biggest fish in the area anymore! lol
yes we are very busy on gutters at the moment, an idea I had for it back in november has really paid off. I dont plan to get any bigger to be honest as I have 2 other projects on the go one of which you know about.

Confession time.
I did something like that at one time (not with Lee I hasten to add). ;D

;D But your vans are bigger than his.
Nice idea with the kit hire. If someone has some decent priced gutter cleaning £70 for a day sounds OK. Personally I would prefer to just pass the job on and ask for a royalty as time is often a bit tight for me.

I got a real big one now though ;)

Are we still talking about your van???? I would like to take a look at that "van" mate lol

Gutter cleaning with a vac is an alternative to cherry pickers / scaffolding
when u weight up the costs associated to these , dont sell yourself short when cleaning 3- 4 storey high buildings on which you may have to get up and over out buidings.
Gutter cleaning with the vac at 30-40ft is extremely demanding and should be rewarded

Hi Lee
Sounds interesting, although the selling of pure water to competitors might be risky in the long term as you will help them build up their business in your areas? and as soon as they have enough income they will buy ROs etc and undercut your window cleaning prices.
You already have enough problems with me setting up in Crawley, West Sussex ;D ;D ;D

the guys that buy water from me dont cover the same areas.
