ive completed 2 weeks of wfp now and im getting good results in the majority of cases.

ive converted my 30ft unger extension pole into a wfp for my bigger stuff and ive also got a short unger pole that i can use for some ground floor windows on my bigger accounts.

ive got a n tech glass fibre (20ft)which will become a spare emergency pole when i get my 25ft hydra alloy next week(hopefully!!).

quite a lot of first cleans i just wfpoled the tops and tradded bottoms with a few all wfp(mainly leaded and a few connys etc)

im looking forward to using the wfp on my bigger work thats coming up this week.its going to be so much safer and piece of mind for myself that i wont be climbing that bloody ladder or using the trad pole!!!

im about the same speed as trad now this week so im not getting behind with work!im hoping when ive been round once itll get a bit faster.

if im 10% faster than trad overall next month ill be well chuffed!!

im learning pretty fast and i think wfp is pretty straightforward and a damn good tool!!!!

my shoulders are getting used to it now.

i think itll take a few months to tweak a few things like learning the best way to clean certain windows to ensure a good finish in the best possible time and learning to "lay my hose"!!

onward and upward!!

oh and another word to those on here that say customers prefer trad.

if small domestic custys say" i dont want you to use the pole on their windows" i will relent on ground floor windows but the tops will all be done wfp and the very big houses will have to find another window cleaner!

as ill be wfpoling ALL windows top and bottom on bigger accounts as these will be those that ill save most time on(after first cleans are done).

i personally dont think ill have a problem with too many custys as long as their windows AND FRAMES are cleaned to a certain standard!!(nearly perfect maybe?!!! )

i dont know where this custys only like trad thing came from, i only lost 2 custys cos of change over and gained much much more due to the change over so overall in my experience its prefered by custys. And to add to that i never informed my custys i was chaning meathods i just did it one day.
