Too many variables for you too get a usable accurate answer,  I may spend hundreds per week on ceo and get 40% of my work that way, and my 40% might equal 3 jobs.
Is van signwritten, are leaflets dropped daily, weekly, every now and then... ???

What info are you actually after ?

It's very hard to contact you ...through your website. You need your telephone number email address on every page.
Go on a Smartseal training  coarse....about £80.

No phone number on the home page? get that on there asap, check FAQ page couple of typing errors.
If all those B&A photos are yours? then look's like you are doing something right already David.

Some good pics there mate. I've just been asked to clean a plastic roof on a house, (sort of conservatory) not been done for years. Needs HP and I've been looking at these 7 meter lances. All around 250 quid each on Fleabay. Is that a good price?

This guy wears a harness, you can see the length of the poles he uses etc. Bet they cost a bit more than 250

You would be facing the wrong way .
Some things are not designed  for having things "squirted up them"....roofs, Kev Martins bottom etc

I agree there, but there are the adapters for these poles. Also, when I learned about fassade cleaning with chems, we always started from the bottom. Stops the runs from dirt from being allowed to dry into the face.  These poles and gear do look good though.

This site (clean it up) has been a revelation for me..always learning new things ...little tips and tricks. They all make the job easier.
I would have thought those poles would bend under pressure....or be too heavy to use all day.
That video makes it look easy ;D
What chemicals clean fassade's?

 a lot of the pole bend depends on the angle of the jet if this is wrong then the bend will be massive, also on the video it looks like he is using a fan jet but it would be much easier if he used a turbo nozzle, personally I have used telescopic pole at just over 40ft it is not easy but is manageable.
