Hi,

Thanks for all the replies.

So is one of the general concenuses that I wouldn't be able to get a WFP system for around £700? I've seen one on a site, a van mounted system. Wouldn't it be much kop? If so would a trolley or backpack system be better?

Maybe something like this -

Would that be any good?

You'd still need to buy the water purification equipment unless you was going to collect rainwater.  An RO and DI system can set you back 200 - 1500 depending what you get.  £200 won't be enough if you are going to only use wfp.

This guy's only starting up, it isn't like he has 500 monthlys. He may not need an RO, maybe DI only is a possibility. That way a sack of resin and a DI unit off ebay will only set him back about £140 and he is set to go.

   I am in spalding, and as LJ says, we are very well served for window cleaners, more than 20 well established cleaners in spalding alone, the general consensus around here is that none of us would want to be a new starter!
  I have seen a few new starters come and go already this year, generally see a couple each week, all the commercial is pretty well tied up and a closed shop - you will not get much if any at all on that front.
  There maybe houses out there, but there is also alot of established cleaners, and we tend to pass the work between ourselves.
  I do not wish to put you off, just stating how it is, by all means e-mail me marcaluzzi@aol.com if you want a chat, but it will be poor news.
  As of interest, who is your mum's cleaner before you ga and ask him anything??

  Sorry

As stated earlier, people start, then give up... But one thing is for Certain!
If they give up... they sell their stuff!
CHECK OUT EBAY!
They have a sales page on this site as well!

Become a heating engineer... people always need heating!
Or... or I say a Hairdresser...
Just think of all the girls you would meet in such a small environment, Oh to be 18 again! :

I'm 10 miles from Spalding.

So would you recomend not starting up at all?

[MNWC]

10 miles from Spalding is a big place.......Where ??

[MNWC]

I may know where you could get some work

[sean.w.c.s]

 hi  i start up 12 years ago when i was 18  it was very hard work still is! go and get a trade  even if  you dont use its good to fall back on.  have you tried insuring a van - that will be possibly over £1000  so add that to your loan amonth and public liability ins to. you need 30 £7 pound houses to pay your out going if you pay insurance monthly. save up first get sum money behine you buy sum work and build it up.

no but i would not recommend chucking your job in to start from scratch
tlindsayjames@yahoo.co.uk
we can give you some advice and help but its quite tough round here at the moment
canvass up some work and supplement your income first
then decide

[L.J.Thorpe]

they have a big fat lazy knacker of a window cleaner out that way
