If you are just thinking about getting a system try a backpack.
They are cheap to run and for the work you have at new ash green would be ideal.
Although if you have a few in a row a trolley would be better.

I know nick used to knock then out fairy rapid when he had your work with his van mount.

Has he still got his trolley as i know he didn't use it much maybe you could try it for a couple of days.

Its easy if you work hard at it.

If you put the leg work into canvassing your area you will pick up work and after a while will start to pick up calls from leaflets you havedropped.

If I were you I would get a back pack first to see how it goes, if you do mainly houses as I do you may find it easier and quicker doing them  trad, I changed over to wfp earlier this year but found myself getting the ladders out more and more. Now I use mostly ladders, and just get the wfp out for the odd high window or for commercial jobs.

WFP definetly has its place and for certain work is a good tool, but it does tend to get over rated on forums like this with exagerated claims about how quick it is and how much money you can make from it. So my advice is get a back pack or make your own DIY system up as it is really very simple, don't get ripped off by the wfp suppliers who charge a fortune for what is a very simple piece of kit! ;)
