well the tank dosnt look like it  is in a cage or bolted down for a start!

perhaps its gold plated connectors  ;D

ive just paid out 2k and got a fully fitted  and bolted down system and a trolley to boot so that is very expensive

You either need to drop on,

Or get a cheap 2nd hand trolley, a tank, a hose reel and obviously a pole,

You should get all of that easily for under 1k.

It depends what you need it for though.

The above system is superb for domestics as you can still use the trolley away from the van if needs be.

The tank in picture is completely unsecured, not even ratchet straps. Buyer Beware.

Looks like he has copied Fogwill's Autobrush as well, he needs to be careful as there is a Patent applied for on that brush.

thanks dean and alex

im a100% trad at the moment, im  happy with trad but theres a lot of jobs i turn down because of windows difficul to access under the wahd

im looking at wagtail too but i cant seehow you clean frames and sills

i know with wfp you brush them down , my clients have frames and sills done and pay for it or get another wc

having priced up various systems i know the price of the systems new from back pack through to fitted  in my van plus a days traiining

2 .5k not a bad price but ive taken on board your comments and wont be going for it

he claims to be supplying an unger pole but if alex says it is something different then i trust alexs  judgement

those that claim you can buy a new , fitted van system for a grand have gone quite when challenged to supply details...............now theres a suprise

Who do you think his target buyers are? Complete outsiders thats who. Coming to a street near you very soon.
I don't doubt there are loads of newly unemployed looking to spend their redundancy on a new business opportunity.

Lets face it, a new start in life for under three grand is not bad!

It is an Unger pole, but it looks like he has fitted an auto system to the brush head similar to Peter Fogwills version.

If you want a fitted system then Andrew McCann of Exel systems offers a fairly good deal for a fitted system under £2000 inc VAT and fitting.

thanks alex....................ill do that

i  realse that if you know what you doing you can probably diy a system for under a grand
but i dont know what im doing so i want a system up and running ready to use, with training and back up advice if it goes wrong

you cant expect people to give that away for peanuts, they have got overheads like everynoe else

if people want to start wfp without first learning trad its up to them bu there will be a lot of s/h wfp on ebay this year as it not as easy as people imagine

When i said the above system i meant the one i described.

As others have said and they are right. everything needs to be secured safetly and this one on the photo evidence, it doesnt seem so.
