Title: Powerwashing...
Post by: JRDEasiReach on January 19, 2010, 04:11:27 pm
Right lads im thinking of introducing Powerwashing into my business at some point this year what i want to know is how do i go about getting water when a customer doesnt have an outside tap, would i need a tank purely for this or what, i know i would need a petrol washer(how much petrol would i need for it too) say per hour?

i need as much information as you can give me on it thanks. If i asked this before and im reposting its prob down to the fact i didnt get a good enough answer.

Simple enough - no tap, no take the job.

There are plenty of other jobs where there is an outside tap, so take them instead.

Use the KISS principle

Keep
It
Sweet and
Simple

Ask them to ask the neighbour. Dont use a tap connector as they will cone off - Put your 3/4 hose connector onto their washing machine tap as its the same thread

Ive yet to see any rounds for sale over here in NI either lads and dazmond im just trying to think of other ways to expand my business, ive now had 3 people ask if i do powerwashing in the past week and ive had to say no to all 3, im not saying im going to do it and give up and on getting more customers for my window cleaning end, far from it, if i did they would be appointment only cleans and booked way in advance in order for me to get to do them :)
