big mistake with the vikans m8,



daz

[dazmond]

its been a long time coming ste(or seems like it!!).ive already cleaned a lot of dirty frames on my round/switched to gg3/know which frames are oxidized and likely to give me problems


now its time to relearn my round,take my time.im sure ill take to it like a duck to water!!!ill be asking more questions and letting you all how i go on in the coming weeks and months!!

[dazmond]

dml im quite sure i will find out what suits me over time!

the vikan sill brush i will use for conny roofs/fascias etc and the 12in rectangle for normal windows.

people have been using vikans for years!whats so bad about them?maybe their heavier than supalites but ive never used one so i wouldnt know the difference!

[mci services]

nothing wrong with the viking mono brushes daz they may be heavier but at 20 foot who cares, i am only 5ft 6 and weigh 9 stone wet through and never had a problem with the extra weight of a brush or pole for that matter. jings ive had my son out at 13 years old and he didnt struggle

[dazmond]

stu mac im 6ft/2in and 18 stone with big arms so i should be ok for a while!!!!

[dmlservices]

yes dazmond you will !

you will also find out, that some of the other gear you bought won' t either  

my comments on the vikans were not only about weight, other factors will come into play,
 it is only when you get out into the real world with all your w.f.p.gear that you will find out whats best for you  

you might even find the trolley a waste of time and money, or you might get on with a trolley from the off,

i guess we will soon find out

i was not on about the weight stu, i think there are better brushes out there 

i know a lot use vikans , it's down to individulal preferences

[dazmond]

i did think long and hard about the trolley daz but itll be ok as i could always buy a tank or use it as a mini van mount at a later date.

like you say i will only learn through my own "hands on" experience!

im really looking forward to it though!

[dmlservices]

i know you have, best of luck with it

weldone daz,cant wait to hear the tells of the first weeks learning.

[Dave Anderson]

After the pump in my pump box dying after 3,5 years use I now have my old freedom trolley in the van  and after re-fitting all the connector with quick release types ...all is well..so most of the time the trolley just sits there every now and then I just close the ball valves...remove the trolley whack on a 25 litre container and off I go....

Sometime I just am in the hose habit when the trolley would be better/faster...so having a trolley as a pump box is not such a bad idea...

Good luck with the new gear Daz...

Cheers
Dave.

Personally I think you have got that the wrong way round, we use only vikan ledge and sills on domestics for one good reason.
I have picked up a few customers from other cleaners who have damaged upstairs sills using normal flat brushes.
As you are cleaning the bottom of the glass or the sill itself using a normal brush the base plate is often touching the sill, especially on windows where access is tight such as small passages,  grit on the sill then creates deep grooves (if the sill is plastic) I learned this the hard way when it happened to me when I first started with wfp about 7 years ago.
Sure the ledge and sill may weigh a little more but so what, if you can’t lift it you’re in the wrong job. 

[birdymiller]

How much you paid for all that? ive got a full setup for sale in the for sale section which isnt selling at £300

[dazmond]

altogether i shelled out 1200quid birdymiller!

everything will be brand spanking new.i didnt want second hand stuff anyway mate.

i will be using this gear day in/day out and i bet you ve only got the 25L version trolley!i wanted the 50L so im not filling up half as much.also itll be better on a few small commercial buildings i do methinks!!

thanks guys!

im hoping ill get the gear on tuesday/wednesday next week as ill be straight up with work by then.then im gonna take a few days off and practice a bit before unleashing it on my custys the week after!!

[bad trippy]

Good work Daz
Stick with it son as some days your gonna think "what the hell have i done"
Mate it will be well worth it in the not too distant future and i know by reading your recent posts you have really planned the switch over brilliantly,.
WELL DONE DAZ

hi mate i find the whole brush type pretty irrelevant as long as its mono, i have used salmon, brodex, viking and can clean a window equally well with either i also have a cheap car wash brush for applying tfr/detergent to con roofs and facsias

[dazmond]

thanks for all the support guys!im counting down the days!!i should have my gear by tuesday and ill be virtually straight up with work so ill be having a few days off tinkering with it and practicing then ill start the following monday!

im changing nearly everything over to wfp straight away!i need the practice!itll be wfp tops and some conservatories and a bit of tradding downstairs windows.

best wishes to you all
