The jock’ll be along shortly.

Hi Guys, im looking to buy a scaffold tower rather than keep hiring. They often turn up bashed around and feel its time i just bought my own.
Ive been looking at a Mi Tower and a similar one from Lewis towers (they make them themselves) both are designed to be easy to put up on your own, if you need to.
Has anyone dealt with Lewis Towers (based in London area) they seem a decent company, has anyone bought from them, they do all sorts of scaffold towers plus a lot more.
Ive been looking at various places for the Mi Tower, they are very expensive - £2750 for a 4.2m "platform height", (which is around 6.2 m working height) is the best price ive seen.
I looked at Spinaclean - who ive used before, they have fantastic after sales service, but there tower was priced around £3500 (im sure it was just a Mi Tower, same as the one above, so way out on price.
Any suggestions appreciated, as i could do with getting one ordered.
Thanks in advance

I'm totally converted to using 35cm brushes with 4 jets now. Its easier and faster to clean and rinse larger windows

That's the reason you have got to try different equipment and methods to see what suits. I've spent a few bob trying different ideas but it comes good in the end. It's all about helping each other to help us save time thus make more dough. 😉

I reckon I saved around 80L today just by using 4 x 1.4mm jets instead of 2 x 2mm jets

Strange really because I thought it might be slightly more due to extra jets...

I honestly thought we would waste more water too, but the fact it just rinses better, wider rinse on glass, more consistent and less pressure at the 1.4mm as you say strangely you just use less water.

I used more water with 2 standard pencil jets on a small brush.

1:4 mm jets will be higher pressure than a 2mm jet not less . We found it was like using a pressure washer and got lots  of splashback off the glass with the 1:4 that we didn’t get with 2mm ones

Not when theres 4 of them. I have my controller on 70 and it's great. Using 4 x 2mm jets and the flow just isn't anywhere near as good as the 1.4 with the added bonus of saving water.

You don’t need 4x2mm jets in any brush . We have 2x2mm in all brushes and run the controller at 69 on all jobs except a couple of hotels that are less than 50 meters from the sea and covered in salt . We did  try the 1:4  jets but didn’t like them, so went back to the 2 mm been using them  for  over 20 years , had the 3 mm ones when I first started they would get through some water 😂

I personally have cleaned 100's &  100's con roofs in my long career and have never felt the need to use  scaffolding. why??

Law of physics. I'm higher up than the roof so it means I'm scrubbing down the way. I can also have a better view because I'm above the roof. Not much energy needed compared to scrubbing up the way. In the end, it all comes down to what one prefers. I used to use a stepladder but once I bought the scaffold I use it all the time now for conny roof cleans.
