Sounds good GB, you will need to change your insurance as it will be classed as a modification. I sence you will be starting a new topic on insurance in the not to distant future!  ;D

youll need a new business name . how about                                                                                                        SPOTTY WINDOW CLEANING SERVICES  ;)

I dont know about the van you have, but my opinion on van mounts of which I have several and have been wfp for 6 years is the smallest tank to go for is 600lts. throw a few first cleans into a day or a fascia/con roof and you soon get through that much. Also in the long term with a bigger tank you could run 2 people without having to invest in a second van.

other than that sounds like a good deal for the price. good luck

200ltr tank due to 1.5mm jets being used, no need for ibc,

no phone number is i didn't want a driving advert, just a simple image making it neat, i work on recommendation 99% of the time, that's why its simple and neat.

tar lee, ill see how i get on with the 350ltr tank if no good after a year or two i'll get me a bigger van!
i tend to do first cleans and other jobs on a seperate day at the moment so ive got plenty of time as well.

thanks again

Post by: s.w.c on June 22, 2011, 11:22:13 pm
cheers chaps ive been working on it for a couple of months sourcing bits even down to the black hose from tank to pump, i came up with the tank dimension and added extra bit so i can screw pump an flow control on it keeping it a neat unit, the chap can make any size shape just work out what you want he will sort it, the tank cost me 185 in vat and delivery, anyone want more info email me, i shall be happy to point you his way,

The most advanced Peice of cleaning technology in there is the beer crate! Every window cleaner should have one. You know you have a gooden if when you turn it upside down it acts as a bucket on a belt holder!! :D
