personaly dont see the problem in designs being copied by other people it helps
to have competitive market and people come up with add ons and new ideas.
it happens in every industry so why should window cleaning be any different

So given what you say I don't see any problem in knocking every one of your customer's doors and delibarately undercutting you to get the business. Don't think it can't be done either. There are plenty of people who will work for a lot less than most WCers here earn. I have done the figures and could easily employ people and undercut a lot of window cleaners and still make a decent profit. I won't do it for now but maybe old values aren't valid any more.

Ok ok guys.

Now maybe Im a bit thick, and I do realise they are glorified sack trucks, but being that Ive never done WFP and sometimes it feels like being blinded with science, you know what I mean?

Well, okay, maybe you dont, but............

I read on here threads about, this pole that pole,  this brush that brush, this fishing rod that fishing rod, this varistream that varistream, so.................if these are really just sack-trucks where do you get the parts that come with the sack-truck, what would you recommend, what combinations?


Im most concerned about:

Battery and charger.

Necessary piping, how it goes together.

Pole.

Brush.


Because if the unit is bought new from Freedom you'll get ALL you need, no mucking about, no setting up and going to first job only to find 'Oh sh!t I aint got the connector to fit the pipe to the pump!!!'

So if I was to make my own where do I start?

The other Matt on the forum runs his own forum and it's a mine of info on how to do it yourself. I daren't post the link to it but he has an email addy in his profile that you can use to get the forum info.

I haven't got the time or to be honest inclination to go through all the messing about trying to save a few quid on a system with no guarantees or back up but it seems to be a popular way of getting into WFP.

I'm very pleased with my Freedom Trolley. Exremely compact when folded down which was crucial for me and can also be operated one handed as opposed to most sack trucks. If you do get one get a spare barrel cap that you can fit to the barrel hose as you will find quite a bit of water sloshes out when it is full. As 99% of my work s domestic, I find a cleantech trigger fitted to my pole brilliant for saving water. Not everyones favourite I know but it sure works for me. Refer to previous posts for fitting instructions.
