25L containers, where can you buy from?
« on: January 12, 2015, 05:58:15 pm »
Hello all, I am in need of containers tomorrow as need them for filling pure into, would anyone know of any places that sell them in north kent? Or any national stores at a fair price.  Some places sell them but are way over priced.

Thank you very much for reading.

Scot.

Really, they will give you them?   Only thing is if a gargae you mean car gargae wont the barrels be well dirty and a mission to clean?   I did not think of them places.  I swear I see big containers at local car wash come to thnk of it.

Thank you WFP MASTER!!

P.S Would liek to buy new ones too form somwhere....

Just chucked out about 20, just can't keep stacking them up.

Try a car wash place should have plenty about, they will need a quick rinse.

Hi it's probably the wrong time of year but farmers (everyone knows a farmer or farm worker) put a lot of chemicals on their fields and use 20/25 litre tubs of insectercide then through them away ask them give them a drink I got about 10 for a couple of pints you have to rinse them out or put the drekks left in them in your mother in laws tea

Hello, wow! Thank you for the reply.  I am desperate, the place selling pure water does not have any in stock and I booked my clients in for wednesday and need to get pure water in them by tomorrow ready for wednesday.  I can get to ashford, I would only need 8 really, that would great, I no its late notice but would they be available to pick up tomrorrow? How much?

Thanks for the response,
Scott

Hi mate,

Thank you, how much do you want for them? I prob need max 7 as dont think they will fit in anymore, I am in my focus so can not get too many in I am just starting out and have my customers spread out starting this week and decided to switch to wfp tops and trad down, I want to trad still to keep my learning going on th trad as its going well. 

I will try to get down for about 10:45 if that is ok with you.  Its really hard to find pure water that near you, let alone the barrels. I can not wait until I get busy and then get a van mount....

Thanks again for the help, really kind of you.

Thank you very much Darren for the FREE barrels, I tried to offer some cash for a drink, but he would not accept.  It was really very nice of you to wash them out a little and have them ready.  Its really nice to have some help when starting out and also getting some good advice today to.  

It is really good to know there are some genuine people out there that will help you out and dont want anything in return, I just hope I can return the favour or be able to lend some advice and help to another new starters in the window cleaning business. Infact the whole site here is just a minefield of info and good info!

Anyway, with out being much more of a cheese feast, TOP BLOKE and thank you!

Scott.
