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.

200ltrs!!
bit small don't you think?
the tank I mean.

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,

i was lucky to have a blank canvas, here some pics from start to finish, when ply came out i had some gaps to fill local upholsterer made some panels and covered them in cord carpet, also had van clay bared and mopped an polished before sign writing.

tidy van although i think you should of put a 350L TANK in the back IMO.
also i would of put WINDOW CLEANING and phone number as big as poss on the side but its your business and van so you please yourself!

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
