I have decided to do this from the new year onwards with these 2 pieces of equipment, we make alot of money year round with them both, but there are plenty of days they sit idol in our unit.
Prices will follow for, per day, per 2 days and per week.
As many of you know we are based in smallfield surrey, so if you work in , smallfield,horley,crawley, east grinstead, redhill, reigate, oxted and the surrounding areas then contact me for more details, i am planning some very reasonable prices for this so you dont have to spend the 6 grand plus i did, or find space to store it all!
Also to remind you we sell pure water to other window cleaners from our static system as and when needed up to 3000ltrs at once.
Thanks guys.

I was down that way at the new Waitrose in Oxted. Did the shell as it was being converted from a garage and the handover pressure washing of the car park, on the store front.
Nice part of the country!

Out of interest what do you price do you sell your pure water for and is it at 0 ppm when you sell it or does it still have to go through a DI?

Hi Lee
Have you heard of the new competition in your area, they are called Mai-Tec. There website suddenly appeared about 2 months ago in searches.

hi ian, yes our water is sold at 0ppm, and we charge £5 for every 250ltr, so the most someone would spend is £20.00 for 1000ltr.
I have not heard of Mai-tec. i will look them up.

Lee sounds like a good idea but my question to you is what would you do about any damages??
i know how tempremental the bits can be on the gutter vac and i could see the wear and tear being drastic renting it out all the time

ok i see them now, nice web site. they seem to be specialists in unblocking drains and i see they also have a guttervac. but i dont really see that as competition for an existing customer base. what i mean is why would your customers who know you use another company to clear there gutters when you have the same piece of kit and the price is mostly the same.
This is why im offering these kits for rental to other window cleaners. in the winter if you spend a bit of time on the phone at the weekend to your wc customers due the following week you can book several hundreds of pounds work for a guttervac, same in the summer with driveways and patios. some of them can be big money for a days work.

Morning steve. its a good question, and there are a few details still to iron out. i guess this is the case with anything thats rented. i would take a cash deposit each time that is returned when the machine is. I think it would be fine, we have used it about every other day for the last month and no problems, their new clamps that i told you about are very good.

I'm sure it could work although since i've bought my system i have had to have the camera repaired, monitor replaced (my fault) a new nozzle, repaired another nozzle as the rivets looked about as durable as a match stick. had to repair the end of one pole. vac hose has been run over and now won't sit perfectly round without having to bash it with a rubber hammer every now and then. Pressure washer blew an O ring. Pressure Washer will need a new hose at some point. Vac had a repair on power cable. My clamps on the poles have been fine though ;D
So i guess my point is i've had mine 10 months. Used it a handful of times (maybe 30 or so) so if my kit went out everyday or more than it does now i would seriously look at how much it went out for and what damages would come back.
Just saying think about it before you do it ;)
