As Alex said on another thread, we're way too busy and in the process of moving into new premises.  When they are up and running, anyone is welcome to visit.  :)

Hi Alex,

Is the brush going to be on web site at the end of the week or would it be better to ring in order?

It will be on the website as soon as it's available so either option is viable.

How much is it going to be.

Presumably thats without vat and delivery

Makes it expensive considering the vikan is £21.50, gold plated is it :P

But it is half the weight.... if I remember correctly, 240g I think Alex said. Weighed my Vikan rectangular one last night and its way over half a kilo!!

Not gold-plated, just low weight and excellent bristles.

It costs twice the price of the Vikan for us to buy in and therefore will actually make us less profit margin. I would not consider working with a Vikan as by comparison it's from the dark ages.

Will it fit the standard plastic gooseneck or does it need an adaptor?

Hope it lasts twice as long as the vikans.

You still failed to answer whether its without vat and delivery , but I'll take the non answer as it's without.

That's  Brush £29.99
Shipping   ...... £3.00 (based on your 230g supa lite)
VAT................  £5.77

Total.........       £38.76 :o

I'll have 10 ;D

It will fit the standard angle adapter or our G-Fit range.

Hope it lasts twice as long as the vikans.

Sorry forgot that bit of the question, heads a bit fuzzy today!

Yes it is without delivery or VAT. As you demonstrate it is not cheap to buy, but as with most things you get what you pay for. It will only really appeal to certain buyers and these will no doubt feel that it is worth it.

Will it last twice as long as a Vikan? I doubt it as the Vikans are pretty bullet-proof, which is their main problem. I am confident though it will last a good couple of years and during that time will prove to be twice as efficient at the job of cleaning windows as a Vikan.

Not a strange question. No there are not any as currently we only have the prototype brushes which do not look like the finished article.
