keep things local,local business mag ad,min 5000 copies per month,leaflet the street you are cleaning in,have your number on the van for passing public,i tried to move further afield last year and it did my head in,driveing to quote,back to sand etc.I think if you batter your own area theres enough to get you through the cleaning season,Dan

is right mark!!  i did not hear back from those needle punce courts last year. but if i get any i will send them your way.  do you use a fsc on them or turbo?  i worry about the amount of sand that comes out i would need a skip and then have to resand it all. it must cost the owners thousands.?
