thanks alot dave
i really like the poles from waterfedwarehouse.co.uk. i es pecially like the look of the GXTEL 4 SECTION POLE 20 foot reach 11"VIKEN BRUSH OR THE ECOLINE 3 SECTION UNIVERSAL POLE 21 F OOT REACH WITH VIKEN 11" BRUSH. what do you think about them for starting off for guttering and conservatories.
When I first started on the WFP side it was difficult. What to buy? As you dont want to waste your money buying cheep stuff.
I would say that they are fine, you will see that you might get replies saying they are cheap. I wouldnt say they are the best brush. But I do use them alot. When looking for brushes check that the brisles are long as possible as some are shorter and go for a semi stiff brusk. A soft brush wont remove the dirt.just not sure about what style of brush ,what would be adaquate for these jobs,vikens sound pretty good but what shape?
I would say they all do the same only real difference is the sill brushes so it emnables you to clean the sill of a window high up.so can you convert the size of the microbore to fit mains supply.
Yes. You will also find that mains supply is more powerful in presure than that of WFP being pumped up the poles. should only cost around £9.00 to convert easy purchase the adaptors. Check what size micohose comes with it. They have a few sizes.
i have to stick to this way for a bit, untill i've built up the buisness to gain a bit of money to buy a trolley system you have showed me.
by the way i'm from bristol.
Good idea, dont just buy the cheapest. You get what you pay for!
thanks for the help dave. its difficult trying to do a good job, in a good time scale, not with the right tools, especially if you dont know what the right tool is.
I was in the same boat Paul. In fact mine was sinking. Yes stick with it! It will get harder before it gets better. Sorry! If you have a few customers stick with it and keep advertising as much as possible. Sign written van, if you have a car get it sign written you can get magnetised plates now. For around £60 check out Vista Print, they also do good leaflets, cards etc.As for the right tool, just becasuse they have made a tool for a job does not mean that it cannot be done better old fashioned hard labour. But when you are in business its about time and if you can do the job just as good in half the time you can double your income. As you can fit in more work.anyway glad to hear your busy at the moment, what do you mainly specialize in at the moment? and what about in the winter?.
We specialise in Contract Cleaning, for offices mainly. We have communal cleans, floor cleans, Window cleaning, Park homes cleaning, EOTS, Rubbish clearance, Waste Managerment. Sanitary bins.. err the list goes on and on. So I have staff to do it for me now although I still muck in. So when winter kicks in its still the same for us. Cleaning in the winter for your services will be almost 0 especially if its all domestic. And especially in the freezing cold and ice. So you need an alternative. - So you could try office cleaning. But the profit margins are tight. So its a numbers game. its bloody hard going just starting out . especially trying to get enouth custom to get a good wage out of it. especially when you really dont have a start up fund, just got to keep putting a bit back i suppose, alright when the other half or son dont wont it,well its all worth it i suppose.
Do you have a website? If not it might pay to get one. You can do it yourself and its not that expensive. I know its still money and I gather it might be tight but if it gets the work in. Have a look at www.fasthosts.co.ukThey have good deals and you can design and build yourself. Use key words Like Conservatory Cleaning Bristol. well hope to hear from you later and thanks again dave
