The advantage of a trolley is that the containers fit right onto the trolley, meaning there is no decanting water from the containers into the backpack. Downside is that it’s heavy and it can be a pain getting it in and out of the vehicle…..
You’ve posted just as I was about to post….if it’s not an estate car it will be a real PIA getting a trolley in and out.

Mind, he only has a small car so a trolley may be too big. 🤔

Apparently 'overture' is back on the agenda of Rob Morgan. If its anything like cleaner planner then  i think it's going to be a massive success for MTD eligible window cleaners. I'm not ready to beta test it yet as I don't need to be compliant until April 2027 but in the long run it could make some of our business lives easier.

Rob is actively building this new MTD window cleaning software as we speak. Hopefully it'll be up and running properly by April 2027 and ill avoid too much extra admin.

Need some advice... My son-in-law is starting up soon and to get going he plans to use a backpack and barrels. I've been wfp over 20 years but never had anything to do with backpacks. So, any advice here from those who use or have used them would be much appreciated. He sent me this link to one he had seen online, I know the pole and brush etc wouldn't be up to what us experienced guys would use but it's a start- or is it? Anyhow, he's a lovely genuine lad who would appreciate the guidance. 🙂👍

Window Cleaning Forum / Mollie to acquire GoCardless

Subject to approval, should be happening summer this year.

Pulled from site......

Mollie to acquire GoCardless - Customer FAQs
What’s the news?

Mollie, one of Europe’s fastest-growing financial service providers, has announced an agreement to acquire GoCardless.

The acquisition unites two highly complementary platforms. GoCardless customers gain access to Mollie's strong local and card payments, whilst Mollie customers benefit from GoCardless's expertise in account-to-account payments, including open banking and a global direct debit network covering 38 countries. Together, we can serve a wider range of customers, in more markets, and continue to support them as you scale.

The deal is expected to close mid-2026, subject to regulatory approvals.

What will this mean for existing GoCardless customers?

There are no immediate changes for GoCardless customers. It’s business as usual with the same products, service and GoCardless contacts you know, and there is no action for you to take.

In the future, you’ll get access to a broader, more powerful payment offering all in one platform -- covering cards, local payment methods, open banking and more.

We’ll share updates as the integration progresses and new benefits become available. In the meantime, thank you for your continued trust in GoCardless.

Mine always has been the ones with the attitude of superiority - you're the flunky who should be grateful for the opportunity to work that they have provided for you. The middle aged ladies who don't work and have no concept of what it costs to run a business and provide a decent incom,  but apparently know what you should be charging. Usually happy to throw in "while you're there could you just...." too.
One last year asked me to clean their conservatory roof, I gave my price - which was low considering it was a glass one covered in algae. First words out were "well you saw me coming, didn't you?"
No I didn't, but that reply said all I needed to know. Quietly dumped and blocked.

They spend £25,000 on a conservatory and begrudge paying £100 to have the roof cleaned once a year.

I also find this very strange......
