At the moment I only have a Truckmount , The problem is over the last couple of weeks I have had several enquires from customers living in flats. I have to turn good work down which breaks my Heart
So my question is , what should I buy next, ie ,small porti or a envirodri machine
I know I will should have both but just cant afford it at the moment
Thanks John

I always carry a 135psi ninja on the van. Picked it up secondhand for £500.
If i cant get with the T/M i use the porty.

More and more flats being built particularly in town centres - must be a growing problem for the Tmers, as it is with my CFR 500.
I have gone the envirodri way. Comes in handy when their are water shortages and of course more customers are becoming aware of environmental issues.

John I use a t/m and also use microsplitters with Charly pads if I am absolutely desperate. Alot of my work is in central London and flats 5/6 stories up are not uncommon. Half the time I run my pipes up the outside of the building.
Take the attitude that the job you are doing is most important and that the rest of the world has to put up with the inconvenience of your hoses passing their window or snaking past their front door. Speak to the neighbours, tell them why they will trip over your hoses when they set foot outside their front doors.
Every now and again I book extra business because I am causing an inconvenience. Regularly use 250/300 ft of pipe. Just remember to have a good supply of signs out. To me the t/m just gives a better clean than the pad and I really couldn't be bothered carting a portable around with me. I am already fighting for space in my van
