Noticed that some window cleaners and probably some of you guys still choose traditional over wfp and wondered why? Are you worried about upsetting your customers or is it the financial outlay?
After all you are working harder and less safely for less money than a wfp cleaner will earn

[Michael Peterson]

the costs are minimal, nothing goes wrong really, equipment doesnt costs 1000's year after year, you can carry a bucket in any vehicle whatsoever..... all these said i would never go back to using a ladder

[dazmond]

i think its mainly 2 things.........FEAR AND EXPENSE!!

fearful that they will do a crap job with wfp and lose customers by the droves and some trad window cleaners are just about making a living so cant afford a wfp system and van etc.

oh and one other thing!some window cleaners attitude and outlook on window cleaning are so fixed in cement that they dare not try anything different! never even considering that wfp is one hell of a tool for cleaning windows commercially and a lot safer too.

theres not much that can go wrong with a WFP system if you really think about it... a pump? all you have to do is keep a spare one 70 odd pounds. and a controller if you use one.. and if that goes wrong you could bypass it as a temporary measure.


Nothing else to go wrong. RO system are pretty reliable - getting better always - same with poles. But trad will always have its place for certain properties where its just easier sometimes or very awkward to get around with pole

[Cliff perkins]

Very well said dazzmond.
After hearing of all the tales of window cleaners comming of ladders when working at height,the more i keep my feet on the ground the less chance i have of injury to myself or others.
That alone is a big enough reason not to use ladders.

I'm in Romsey mate

I don't even take a ladder on my van these days, when I changed over to wfp about 4 years ago I used to do the odd one trad if the customer didn't like the new way of doing it, or i'd use the ladder to get on flat roofs etc but I can't be bothered anymore, 100% wfp for me now except the odd bungalow

[wayne m]

I think I've seen you around Andover mate am I right ? Red van

Exactly, my ladder slipped on a wet driveway when I was at the top, lucky I didn't break my neck.
I now don't think it's worth risking my life for a tenner

[robertphil]

im only interested in doing it the trad way .  i remember when i started up about 6 yrs ago now, i had enough money to start up wfp ,ten times over, but its not for me .

 i like the simple  efficient way of doing things , my workers feel the same way-iv heard them saying it .

 i would always buy the base model van rather than 1 with electric windows etc , less to go wrong
