Just Starting out in business in Derby area could use a little advice. Who are the best suppliers in my area? Is it cheaper and better to buy from the web? I have bought a bit of unger stuff seems pretty good but also bought some ettoire both seem pretty good is there anything else thats better obviosly price important but quality more important.

Bit of advice from you pros please

Thanks
Simon

I buy my gear from http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk
Best place in my opinion!

Hope this helps!

window cleaning warehouse id your best bet for traditional gear, i use a 12" unger ergotech squeegy, a 12" unger applicator and unger microfibre cloths for detailing and squeegy off as liquid but theres nothing wrong with fairy and unger pockets.

Nowt wrong with fairy but Squeegee off looks more pro.

Brett's right about having a load of stuff you didn't really need to buy. My best bit of equipment was when I had a 3 storey house to clean. Off I go to the pro shop and spend a fair few £ on a 24' extention pole. The theory being to applicate then blade off....that worked well didn't it?....yeah right ??? It's still in the shed gathering cobwebs.
