Ladderless window cleaning with ladders on top of your van

And thats where they stay 90% of the time

Still need ladders for access to flat roofs and gutter cleaning but i don't use them for window cleaning.

And it makes people take notice because it says ladderless window cleaning and there are ladders on the top.
Im always getting comments about it but hey if it get people to notice me its worthwhile.

Paul how do you get on with Tucker Poles?
Title: Re: Can i see your van please
Post by: pjulk on January 12, 2007, 06:43:17 pm
Mt tucker systems is good but the pole clamps on there poles are rubbish.

The clamps on the omnipole Powerpole are better

Paul
Title: Re: Can i see your van please
Post by: seanmcshane on January 12, 2007, 09:28:29 pm
bl**dy hell, if the tucker clamps are WORSE than the powerpole, they must be BAD!
Have you tried the bog standard lever clamps?

Hope this inspires ideas for your van David, most signage company's do a free design service, my one was done by a graphic designer then given to the sign company to wrap with vinyl

Was that expensive?

Title: Re: Can i see your van please
Post by: poleman on January 12, 2007, 10:56:54 pm
I would say £1000 + vat = £1175 is good value for money.  Divide this by the length of time you keep the vehicle.
 
Lets say you keep it for Six years. = 312 weeks
 
£1175 divided by 312 weeks  = £3.76 a week for advertising your business.
 
It's not bad and better than a lot of advertising.

Only tried on the tucker pole the clamps that are like bloody jubilee clips and you need this stupid tool to tighten them and loosen them.

Ross,

I can say that is very good advertising at the back, the info at the back always gets you more business. Looking at yours I think you will be onto a winner.

Mind me asking how much did it cost.

Russ Clarke - Nice job, but I recognise the wfp logo. Where have I seen it before?
Title: Re: Can i see your van please
Post by: russ_clark on January 13, 2007, 01:17:21 pm
I paid £325 + vodka and tonic

they are not the cheapest but do a good job.
glad you like it - hope the punters do too!!

Nice van! Nice graphics!

It would be nice to see inside the back to see what set up you use?

I noticed you have rhino bars? I just got a set and think there superb!

Hi John (Majestic),

Nice van,

what pole is that you're using? it seems to have a lot of flex on it.

The only problem is that you must have to keep the back of the van clean all the time otherwise it would look like you've done a cr*p job :)
