Hi Lawrence thanks for the reply. Could I ask what you use to apply if it’s high up? I’m WFP, and quite strict with not using ladders unless I have someone footing the bottom as I’ve seen first hand what can happen if not. I have some 2/3 story high gutters needing cleaning and tap water and...

Evening all, I have a gutter job coming up and want to get in some good cleaning detergents. One question I have is are there upvc cleaning chemicals that damage glass if they come into contact- to avoid in this situation? If for e.g was cleaning gutters or frames and some solution got on the...

What is the best way to apply the chemicals/cleaners on the gutters/fascias with out climbing a ladder? Sent from my iPhone using Window Cleaning Forums

Good evening gentlemen! Couple of questions, I’ve got my first gutter and fascia clean this week. I’ve read lots of different ways of doing it but wanted to ask some specifics. Bare with me if you can, being new to this industry! I’m not planning on climbing ladders, and my pole can easily...

No idea why it auto corrected to wrong equipment ordered. That would be a very bad move. It was supposed to say WFP equipment ordered. Ha! Sent from my iPhone using Window Cleaning Forums

Evening guys. Just about ready to go live with my first business. Research is done and wrong equipment is ordered. I've spoken to a few guys in my area and one seriously recommended going on a course just to learn basics (run by ionic I think) I have another guy willing to show me the ropes...

Bare with me for a moment, I'm talking it through with my partner. Can I contact you this afternoon? Sent using the Window Cleaning Forums mobile app

Thanks for a great detailed reply. I'd be interested in the kit rather than the van, but all very reasonable prices. Understand you'd rather sell as one lot though. Good luck and I hope retirement treats you well. Sent using the Window Cleaning Forums mobile app

What's the mileage on your van? Sent using the Window Cleaning Forums mobile app

Sorry for jumping in on the thread, but also interested in this topic. What do customers say when you turn up and it's heavily raining? Do you ever get turned away or have you explained you can still clean without problems in the rain- and how do you go about explaining? Many thanks! Sent...

Thanks for the reply and advice, I'll make sure I'm more specific in the future. Like you've mentioned, I've had a lot of various replies but in general the idea is to probably try and build my own to begin with and get me up and running. I live in the south west, which is apparently a soft...

Thanks for the reply and some really great pointers there. I'm up for learning and trying to put something together myself, however if that's a similar price to the system you mentioned I think it's a no brainier. Obviously as you say the pure water system would be the next up. Potentially...

Thanks for the reply. That is a concern of mine, if I have problems I would have to go back to them and if they aren't interested then I'll become pretty stuffed. A lot of the replies have suggested building my own, like you say I'll have to really get my DIY skills up to scratch. But atleast...

Thanks for the reply. What kit do you have may I ask? And what did you spend roughly? Sent using the Window Cleaning Forums mobile app

Not as yet, but I haven't actually started up officially. I have people interested and enough to make me go for it. I'm currently self employed doing gardening and have enough work on that side of things to keep me safe financially to start up. I think your suggestion of a backpack or trolley...

I think any money I can save and and put towards advertising the better to be honest. Over time if successful I can look at a better system but to get me started I just need something that does the job and invest in getting the customers in in the first place. Sent using the Window Cleaning...

Thank you for your reply. I feel I'm along the same lines- by no means a DIY expert but with a bit of guidance I think I could get something together. Where did you buy your parts from? I'd be looking at something similar to what you have, not desperate for an RO system as relatively soft water...

Evening guys. Have posted a couple of times, relatively new on here so please bare with me. So I'm looking at how to equip my van and if I need to buy a "all guns blazing" system, or if there is a much cheaper way of doing this. (By all guns blazing I mean a all in one system with the...

Absolutely top advice there again, many thanks! Have got the logo and branding sorted, will get the polo shirts next. I like the simplicity of the name on the back, and although these people are REALLY asking that question... at least it's a foot in the door to turn around and say yes and...

That's a good point, I feel the same way if someone came to my door and I know of many people who don't even answer the door when confronted with a random man. Unfortunately I've come home from work today and had a window cleaning leaflet through the door. Not a new business, have seen them...
