Any recommendations for buying 25 litres of DI resin please?
Not in a big rush as I got myself some agency work (need the money) next week and my 1 remaining clean this week I can do with ladders but I am submitting my quote for another care home tomorrow and want to be in a position to get in quick should I get offered it.
Cheers

If money is tight you don't have to buy 25 litres of resin.
A lot of suppliers will sell you 5 or 10 litres if thats all you require.
For example I use an 11 ltr DI Vessel after RO and I only buy 10 ltrs of resin at any one time because that lasts me about a year before needing replacing.

I bought mine from Corwood. Great service and cheapest I know of.

Thanks again Roy.
Re canvassing, I've did 2 evenings this week and picked up 1 definite and a lot of nice chats on doorsteps, balls in their court but I count them as results as they know my face and that I'm not pushy, just a friendly local chap trying to make ends meet. Everyone asks for my flyer without prompting too which I take as either really positive or really polite.
Spent ages (paint everywhere) doing a terrace clean with ladders for a local businessman and got a very generous tip then he tells me that he's only staying in the house until his detached place is finished at Hawkinge... on a plot next to his mate and 'please will I agree to do them both?'. A great return on the investment of my time and even if I say so myself, he has the cleanest windows in the street.
You'll know that Deal is a very friendly place and WOM is crucial to any local traders reputation.
I also quoted at a 6 bed care home who had advertised for a gardener. Front was pretty standard Georgian windows but the back is glass everywhere. Great access, beautiful garden with proper topiary but not cleaned for over a year. I've given 3 prices; first clean, bimonthly and monthly based roughly on £2 per window. I'm fairly confident that it's a fair price and unless they decide to get oother comparison quotes I will have an answer pretty soon.
Also met a chap whilst walking the dogs last night who has asked me to do his grade 2 listed house. Won't reveal too much on here but he is 'well connected' in my prime target area.
All in all I am very happy with the positive vibe that's following me around.
