Look at utube clips of window cleaners doing trad

Get a local window cleaner to shop you the ropes

Ionic's do a one day course, I am not keen on the company's equipment prices but the course is great

Take the plunge!

I've always found Goodfella's advice on this site and the links he provides genuine TBH.

We use the Unger Ergo Tec handle with Unger S stainless steel channel in various lengths to suit the window size.
