Gardiner’s have just started producing these. I think with the splay they’ll be a great addition. Especially on large windows & deeper recessed windows.

I use the 35cm Xtreme sill brush with 4 x 1.4mm jets for most work these days with pump controller on full blast. Its a great brush for splashing and dashing at this time of year. I can literally chop an hour a day off my work in the winter months!🙂👍

If you used 3mm jets you could turn your pump controller down or use even more water thus speeding your job up even quicker. Makes no sense using smaller jets unless splashing  the kids at water pistol fights in the summer  ;D

I prefer Reach-it brushes any day of the week for speed and no breaks in the bristles for perfect sheeting without any gaps unlike any other brushes on the market, downside is they are not so good for deep frames if new cleans.
 I do like to use the 23cm supreme dupont on patio doors with the biggest hinges going  as it's simply quicker and more convenient. Have been waiting for the 35cm supreme brush to come on the market and will be buying one for deep framed windows as easier on deep cleans than a reach it.

I've just bought the normal size dupont supreme and I'm really disappointed with it! Gardiners seem to have increased  the vertical splay to a point that makes it pretty useless! 🤔
I used to use the flocked supreme and this was superb but this dupont one is terrible in comparison! Also, because of the size of the space required to fit jet capsules, there is at least 1" either side of the brush where there is only ONE row of bristles. On a brush which is smaller to begin with, this is a major oversight IMO and it really shows when you are cleaning a velux window and you can see light through the brush- there's two major spaces barely getting touched! This in turn means that even more movement is required to guarantee effective coverage from an already smaller brush! On a plus point, the dupont ultimate is very good but the blue nylon ultimate trumps them all. 🙂👍

Does it effect the heater if you use a univalve or tap .

It doesn't look like I'm going to be breaking any records this year  :'( very slow atm.

£122, a bottle of wine and 5 cards up to now. Better than nothing but I usually get around £400-£500 altogether but I reckon I'll be doing well to reach £300 this year.

Everybody is being squeezed from every direction financially. Ive paid my tax bill early this year just to get it out of the way. Im over £5k lighter now...

Anyone on here interested in a 2019 Custom Sport Auto, 24 000 miles, FSH, 500 litre tank and frame with immersion?😁

Why not keep it especially with that mileage .
I just fancy a change, I’ve had it for over 6 years now. Also I’ve just had notification from my accountant of my 24/25 year end profit. This will probably increase for 25/26 and with the higher tax threshold being a lot lower in Scotland I am going to get hammered, so the idea of buying a van to reduce my tax liabilities is probably more appealing than it would be for anyone south of the border.
If you are worried about going into a higher tax threshold, you could just pay money into a pension to get the equivalent amount of tax relief on your contribution.

For me personally I would not want to change a van with such low mileage - assuming I was happy with the van.

« Last post by Tam1872 on Yesterday at 04:25:51 pm »
Well I’m seriously considering getting an electric reel , will wait until January  to get one .

I don't actually think any money gets took off them in January.

When I bought my set up years ago, I held off until January as I automatically thought they would have a January sale, as i thought I'd save a few quid. None of it came down though.

Just because they didn't come down that year doesn't mean they won't another yesr though. Sales throughout the year might dictate if things like that gets discounted or no.

If they have sold alot of them and orders are still coming in then it makes absolutely no sense adding a discount to it.

They last years though, so sale might not be where they expected them to be as alot will have them etc. So reducing the cost will get them sold to the people on the fence, who would like one, but don't think they can justify paying the price they retail at. When they see a couple of hundred off it. Itl attract sales from they kind of people who think there not over paying for it now as it's discounted in the sales.
