sorry to jump in, thats a ridiculous price, no way will someone pay that..
its cheaper to go to speedy or hss hire..

thers a guy in the town i live selling pure water for £15.00 for 650lts. still cheaper to make my own though.

I love it when people say things like that as if I havnt given it any thought at all, people do pay that mate, I sell water on a regular basis to many window cleaners and I have rented equipment out for that much before. One of my team turned over £900 in 6 hours last friday clearing the gutters of 2 blocks of flats next to each other. there is alot of money on those sorts of jobs and houses for that matter so if a window cleaner set that up for himself and paid £70 for the complete kit I think thats a nice deal, again we are doing £1200 of domestic gutters this week. Its the same story through the summer with jet washing of drives and patios.



 1 man did £900 in six hours, if i was paying that bill then i would think i had been ripped off.  ???

I dont care what you think mate and your not the one paying the bill

they were 2 blocks of flats next to each other through a management company I have a contract with, their only other options were cherry pickers or scafolding. So in fact they were very happy with our price compared to the other quotes they had, and because of that we have another 5 through them over the next couple of weeks.

i wish your business was in my area, when people where after alternative qoutes yours would be the first name i would recomend.

Less than you mate, guess were not the biggest fish in the area anymore! lol

yes we are very busy on gutters at the moment, an idea I had for it back in november has really paid off. I dont plan to get any bigger to be honest as I have 2 other projects on the go one of which you know about.

 ;D  But your vans are bigger than his.

Nice idea with the kit hire.  If someone has some decent priced gutter cleaning £70 for a day sounds OK.  Personally I would prefer to just pass the job on and ask for a royalty as time is often a bit tight for me.

Gutter cleaning with a vac is an alternative to cherry pickers / scaffolding
when u weight up the costs associated to these , dont sell yourself short when cleaning 3- 4 storey high buildings on which you may have to get up and over out buidings.

Gutter cleaning with the vac at 30-40ft is extremely demanding and should be rewarded

Hi Lee

Sounds interesting, although the selling of pure water to competitors might be risky in the long term as you will help them build up their business in your areas? and as soon as they have enough income they will buy ROs etc and undercut your window cleaning prices.

You already have enough problems with me setting up in Crawley, West Sussex ;D ;D ;D

the guys that buy water from me dont cover the same areas.
