Hi All,
I’ve just joined up as I’m gathering as much info as I can with a view to setting up a window cleaning business myself, a complete change of career. First up I must say the site is great although it’s information overload at the moment….which is great of course.
Some advice is needed as to what would be the best start up kit.
The aim is to go down the WFP route and have a van mounted system.
Just starting out, would it be recommended to buy a 2 man system with the view of future growth or just stick to a one man system for now? Also what tank sizes for both would you recommend?
Another dilemma is do I go for buying a pre existing set up as seen on ebay? The only doubts I have with this is the mileage on most of these vans is sky high. Maybe not a good idea buying one of these vans if it’s going to be a money pit and not going to start of a morning.
Is buying a used van (with sensible mileage and service history) and getting a new system fitted the better option? This gives me the peace of mind of some manufacturer support with the RO system that I have inside the van. Perhaps the sensible option though a little more costly.
Is it worth while going for a mid sized van maybe LWB or maybe a little bigger (box van) with the intention of being able to store other equipment that may be needed as part of the business and future growth?? Or just keep it fairly small and compact??
On the above note any recommendations on who to purchase a new system from? I’ve done a bit of research but would be good to get recommendations.
I’m under no illusions this is going to be a walk in the park and am full of admiration for the people that do make a business out of this profession. I’m sure there are many that try and fail.
Any info/advice gratefully received.
