has anyone gone from wfp to trad??
« on: January 18, 2008, 08:26:42 am »
Don't know if this has ever been asked on here but I was just thinking, everyone always says about making the switch from trad to wfp but has anyone started out wfp and maybe NOT got on with it for some reason and switched to trad?

I know a few that have gone to wfp then gone back to trad as they could not get on with it (didnt give enough time IMO)
I cant see some that starts wfp going trad after as they would know NO difference

must agree with ian on that cant see how they would start wfp and then go trad as i would think that most who starts out wfp will have already spent a large amount of money setting up whereas many trad cleaners move gradually into wfp .I did have about 3 to 4 weeks where i thought about selling my wfp gear and going back to trad but luckily i stuck it out ;D

selling my wfp gear was never an option although it was highly annoying, I tried to laugh most of it off.

how much do you have to pay out on the upkeep of your wfp systems once you have them fully working? such as filters or whatever etc etc.

i found the change over very difficxult with nothing but moans all over the place .and dirty windows .

but after about 4/6 months of stress something clicked customers stopped moaning i became confident ,my neck stopped aching ,and i suddenly loved my pole and will never willingly go back to ladders .

the poloe doesnt work everywhere but does 90% of the time . ;D

It sounds like your experiences were similar to mine Eddie.  I know it sounds funny, but I really begrudge the occasional job where the ladder has to come off - and I'm supposed to be a window cleaner   ;D
