I have been trad for 8 years but am going to go wfp just for the safety side of it all.
-
im glad iv got it as iv said but with u being trad 8yrs
remember its not the b all n end all im not quicker with it
though id say awkard windows yes give it a whirl nothing to lose
as iv said may b me lol user error ;D ;D
-
they do say lammy it takes a few months to get used to it(maybe 6!)so i would be interested to see how you feel in 6 months time.i bet your ll be faster once u learn how to lay ur hose and re learn ur round.plus youll be able to canvass bigger better paying jobs!im gonna start wfp tops/trad bottoms to ease my custys into the changeover but i think there will always be room for mop and blade esp during very cold weather!ive been 16 years trad but i will be adding wfp in future once i get me van!!! ;D ;D
good luck with it all lammy ;) ;D ;D

dazmond thats an other thing i gtta change me van now lol
gota corsa combo but wiv 400l in it no room for anything else want a transit now ;D ;D yes im glad iv got wfp as iv said i like ladders as well
most ov my work is spread out so the setting up not the problem
just me i think lol faster on leads though lol il keep u
informed its hard graft though doing over them
connie roofs lol
-
ive got a lwb transit, i set out to get a scudo size but im made up with the transit, i can even fit my double extension ladders inside and stand up in the back as well, loads of room to expand with room for a vac and jet washer ;D
-
tbh used to b able get ma scooter in van
but now got 400l flat tank cant get the kids quad in
nevermind going the skip wiv garden rubbish so gota get bigger ;D ;D ;D
-
im used to using extension poles as i use them every day lammy and i have big arms!so i dont think ill have a problem with using the poles.by the way what pole are u using?i think ill get a brodex hydra for starters then move on to an slx when funds allow.i would rather use a pole than climb up some of the pitched roofs i end up getting on with ladders! ::) ::)
im going for a connect/berlingo and 350/400 lt tank in the future.im sure a carbon fibre is the way to go for less strain on the arms/shoulders/neck!!!
best wishes

like you i have been trad for many years
i was very sceptical about wfp ,but went over to it about 2 years ago , and yes
i was not sure at first, but persevere with it, and you will soon get the knack
there are so many advantages,i still do trad mixed with wfp
and i use modular poles for 99% of my work, now they are light 8) ;D
good luck and stick with it

hi dazmond
mods have pipe outside pole and you slot sections together
i use it this way with a trolly system i just strap the sections to trolly with bungee
not everyones cup of tea and does take a bit of getting used to, but well worth it
and it works well for me.
i do have other poles that i use on gutters facias etc
the mods are really just for the glass
