Dan,      not wanting to be funny but weve gave loads of great advice to help you start your business through this forum.
Obviously you have access to the net.......its called research. Google and find gardiner, pure freedom, grippa tank, water works and any other company you may have come accross like Ro-man on ebay.
Look at their prices and see what you think.

Depends on your budget and how much you want to spend, will it be a DI only system if so will you filter your water from home. Have you got a van yet if so getting it properly prepared before your tank goes in is important.

There are lots companies to choose from but if it was me I'd take a look at Gardiners for poles/brushes. Grippatank for system and hose reels and maybe window cleaning warehouse for tradition kit. If you want to go hot further down the line then purefreedom do a good diesel water heater that can be added to most systems.

All depends on how much you have available to spend. If you think you'll stick at window cleaning and will be working hard full time 5 days a week eight hours a day then it pays to buy good quality equipment which is fit for purpose or you'll only end up having to replace it before long.

Why do you make all your videos if not to help people and give advice?

They could just research and come to their own conclusions yet you keep making them.....

Chill your beans fatty!
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

Yes he can and yes anyone can. But so far weve all helped on vans and ro systems n brushes n poles etc from all the other questions. More than not this question has already been answered on one of his previous threads. Weve all helped apart from actually doing his physical work for him!!  Im not being mean by this but.......when its a price difference between purefreedom and gardiner how easy is it to look at the sites and conclude it yourselve??

Lol im not against helping people, ive even chatted with people of forum to help with their setups but these ones have done some work as well.
Or the next thread will be what water tank and from whom.  How do i price??  How do i clean...........at what point does someone say...right ive got this system and want to check if this is right???? Or something along those lines, but dan hasnt or atleast not put his questions across in a manner which suggest hes done so.

Simon w , ashbash thank you . Just taken it all one step at a time . Buying the van in next two weeks an bye the end off the month should hopfuly have it sinaged and prepped inside ready to start buying all equipment . Thers 2 off us so going for a 500liter tank hooked too a 25 clk as every day poke.  An a 35/40 slx hooked to a gardner pack pack for so both off us can work together . Back pack just for hard to get area's back off housese an all that . We are both on it for the long hull as I've never had a non/Fri in my life an I'm 32 now with a family and would like to start enjoying more quilty time with them . Me an my buisnes partner both have full time jobs but are self employed so can reduce the work as the window cleaning expands.  That's the plan anyway just hope it dose all go to plan

Sorry bud i didnt mean to be harsh, my apologies.
Yes it seems a fair comment to say as far as getting brushea n poles are concerned.....gardiner is the best place.
If your going down the route of diy then get a diy system from purefreedom that will give you everything you need. Might be worth getting it for a 2 man set up tho because you will soon tire of dragging the trolley back to the van for refills if you plan to do that for the day.
Also trollies the nano trolley looks brill but a gardiner back pack on a trolley is also very effective and much cheaper!!
Also get a good fadt 12v pump to transfer from van to trolley as that will obviously make the process faster.

Hope it all works out well for you and your business partner Dan. With some hard graft and determination you could make a very profitable business for yourself. Good luck and keep us all updated on how it's going

You won't go wrong buying Gardiners poles.
It's a game of three halves!

Why have you gone to all that trouble to register as a business before you've even a business to run?

Window cleaning is simple, why complicate it before you have a need to?

Dyslexia in terms of grammar and spelling isn't just certain words and phrases, it covers the entire English language. If you can spell words that are quite complex and yet not spell words that aren't then maybe dyslexia isn't the cause. Maybe, and this is not a criticism, and it's not something to be embarrassed about, it's because you can't spell. Lots of people are the same. Me included.

This website underlines words spelt wrong as you know already so there is no need to spell 'what' as 'wot'.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Personal opinion

Pole I would buy from Gardiner's. They are the best.

The rest of the gear I would source from all corners of the internet and make a d.i.y system. eBay is a good start.

Personally I would avoid there like of pure freedom, grippa and all the big suppliers of "systems". You'll pay a few grand for what is essentially a tank and a pump.

Spend money where it really matters, i.e the pole. I would rather buy extreme poles and brushes with a d.i.y system than an all singing system with a glass fibre pole

Do you suffer from dyslexia??
My son does and my brother in law does also. My son is 19 and my brother inlaw is 23 and they can spell certain words but not all. So saying dan has a spelling problem over dyslexia is a little arrogant dont you think!

Only skipped over this but he does only say, 'Maybe' he has a spelling problem.
