I'm thinking of adding pressure washing in the spring, have many of you lot done it and was it a good move?
-
It adds extra jobs but more hassel for the money
-
Yes - now have a dedicated van with built in system
Take a look on the general cleaning board and a thread "what have I cleaned today" and you'll see some work.
My advice is make sure you buy the best kit possible - I have Honda gx390's and inter pumps - they cope with everything I have had to deal with.

If you like getting messy and blasting the fook out of stuff then it's great fun. Money is not bad either.

Yes mate, worth the investment, had my money back for outlay within a few decent jobs
Unfortunately am flooded with window cleaning so don't get much chance to play with it, all equipment is from Ben ( Rutland pumps ) who's most helpful.

Forgot to mention you may have to clean windows & doors afterwards too so best do pressure washing first before any window cleaning. Not to mention wash a few parked cars along the way if you don't get them moved well out of the way from the wind drift of the overspray. Oops! ;D

£1500 will get you exactly the right machine and setup 👍
Ben is really good, my last pw came from him, lots of good advice and help regarding machines, tell him you spoke to me, and he needs to sharpen his pencil !!

How come moreclean http://www.malcleanse.co.uk/delta-250-bar-15-lpm-petrol-pressure-washer-dt15250phr-p-4535.html same spec delta seems cheaper at £1,136.00 (£1,363.20 Inc VAT)
compaired to rutland pumps delta http://www.rutlandpumps.co.uk/collections/pressure-washers-and-frame-supplies/products/delta-15250-petrol-pressure-washer at Including £239.59 in taxes GBP£1,437.52

I'll be honest and say the prices do need updating on the old delta range. That machine should be no more than £1350 Dual updated prices a week ago and we have not had time to change them over.
I will however say this.
99% of these online stores DO NOT stock and have never seen the pressure washers and parts you are looking at. Malcleanse or Malcomn and his wife christine take your order and the profit and phone dual who then ship out / build your machine for you having never touched it never made sure it is working when it leaves the factory.
WE STOCK the parts and indeed most of the variations we sell on the new ranges - our warehouse costs us £10,000 per year in rent and heat - where does the money to do this come from? If you order machines from these online stores unless Dual has them built (they usually don't) you will have to wait up to 10 days for a build to be booked and the machine sent out to you.
As such Joe Bloggs in his bedroom can afford to make £30 on a £1300 sale - we cannot. Would you work on those margins? I bet most of your wouldn't get out of bed for less than £150 a day, and rightly so so why should we?
I could sell machines at £10 over cost all day long but unfortunately thats where my help for you would end, for me that would ruin the job, I thoroughly enjoy helping our customers talking them through modifications servicing and annual repairs and even expansion and upgrades. If our business were to become a get them out them in and sold as fast as we can I would stop because for me it would be worthless - I might as well get a job with one of the many UK manufacturers. We have never hidden the fact that on most products there is a little movement for negotiation but I don't see why I should have to under cut and devalue the market which would firstly annoy my competitors but drive the market to a point where none of us could keep going and any old wolly could afford a decent set up after working in mc Donald's for five minutes.
Jetmac is a perfect example of a company that has flooded the market with cheap machines, and because they are away in Ireland its mugs like me who get landed re sealing and sorting out knackered engines and pumps - yes I know I sound like I'm moaning but I we spend huge amounts of time sorting machines he has long since lost interest in.
