You could just see WFP as another tool in your arsenal? we use pretty much all methods rope access, MEWP, WFP and of course good old trad. ;)

i brought a van and ionics 700litre van mounted system 3 years ago.it costs me £530 a month for finace for 3 years.before this i paid £300 per week in wages(£1200)per month.when brought system worker was not needed,hence saved £670 per moonth,plus i could do £20 per day more(£400)per month.so although system is costing me £530 plus maybe £170 on new stuff £700 in total outlay per month.total extra earnings is £1070 per month.all told £370 per month better off,plus april is final payment so more profit.

A basic kit can be from as little as £300.

A DIY van mount from about £550 -£600

Cheapest pro installed setup would be about £2k
