    450L FaceLift Compact tank

    Selling my Facelift Compact tank setup. Bought a couple of years back, used for 6months on and off due to back injury. This is a great little setup to get you going. Fits neatly into most vans. I've bought the split charge relay which can be included in the sale for £50 extra. Also have a few...

    Selling Customers, what are they worth?

    thanks guys, yeah so unfortunately my back simply doesnt like me waving a pole in the air all day and its getting progressively worse. To the point that sadly i don't think i'll be able to carry on. As a result i have my existing customers that i don't really want to let go as there's so many...

    Do you ever feel bad?

    Interesting thread for a new guy like me going through my first winter full time window cleaning. Looking at the weather for monday\tuesday, Monday day looks clear to get out and clean, then its meant to all come in in the evening heavy rain with winds up to 45mph into Tuesday. I'm in two minds...

    Upto 50 customers

    well done pal, great post and so motivational. Being in my first year of business too i can totally relate to just how hard and the effort required mentally and physically it is to get the business off the ground. Well done mate

    At the risk of opening a can of worms.....

    Had this last week funnily enough, chap 3 houses down from me wants me to clean their windows, has a window cleaner currently but always leaves the windows with streaks down from the top frame. Ive no problem pricing for this work because if i don't get it he'll only go and find another company!?

    sub contracting option?

    For me its very informal, i simply tell him how many cleans i want for the next day and he sorts that amount out. All the cleans i do i get paid for at the end of the week. Its a 72% cut which I'm personally happy with as this work helps fill my quiet days so i see it as a bonus anyway. I...

    sub contracting option?

    Funnily enough I've just been offered some work on a sub contract basis from a guy i bumped into while filling up. He's got more work than he can get through. Adds up to over 2 decent days a week. All the cleans are regular maintenance cleans, he texts them the night before etc and sorts...

    Which one? SLX or Extreme pole

    I currently have the Pheonix 22ft hybrid from window cleaning warehouse. I too am currently looking at up grading to the Extreme 22 for daily use. My current pole is ok, its all i know so hard to compare. It does struggle when anywhere near full extension over conservatory roofs etc. Its so...

    two enquires come in !

    I've been going a year now and I've tried most of the methods mentioned; Leaflet drops, canvassing, fb pages, lead gen. And i'd have to say I've had the most interest when I'm going about the local area with my work t shirt on. Getting my hair cut = where my work gear. Popping to the shops =...

    Your idea of compact work

    haha, yeah clustering isn't even on my radar yet. Still in my first year so i take pretty much any job up to half an hour drive away. Its just about filling the days at the moment even if that means a 20 minute drive to the next job. Far from ideal but I'm sure its something we all have to do in...

    A REALLY CLOSE CALL

    ****, I've got a few that i get up on flat roofs for. They all seem solid as a rock. All these kitchen extensions with skylights!

    dirty water coming out of window vents

    Had similar issues to this. No matter how much i angle the jets up into the vents i never get them completely clean so that dirty water wont run down. Funnily enough i came to the same conclusion as the video. On first cleans give the top of the frame a real good clean above the vent. Then...

    Spotless Water is it not working out?

    Just had an email from Spotless to say the price is going up, and so it begins. I guess catering all these breakfast clubs needs paying for somehow

    Making my own water

    I'll grab a pressure gauge and see what I'm dealing with. I think id rather have the system in the shed and just fill the van each morning  Yeah the jerry can idea doesn't excite me and having a great big van with a load of containers onboard does sound a bit backwards. I bought the Compact...

    Making my own water

    yeah thats a fair point @spruce. I say its 20m I'd need to do a bit more of an acurate measurement as it maybe less.  Essentially the shed will be built relatively close to the houses back door with a footpath down the side of the house to the driveway where the van (vauxhall vivaro) is backed...

    Making my own water

    thanks mate, i was considering just running a garden hose so that answers that question.Thats a huge difference in filling time.  I'll check that pump out aswell.

    Making my own water

    Thanks so much for taking the time to reply @spruce. I haven't seen so much red ink since i handing in my GCSE coursework of Mice and Men! In all seriousness this is a huge help, thanks pal. I'll post a pic when I've got it all set up. Bearing in mind i haven't even built the shed yet it'll be...

    Making my own water

    Evening guys, so as I'm getting busier I'm looking at starting to produce my own water. Im currently paying top dollar to buy it from a local guy and my nearest Spotless is not that near. So I'm getting my head around the system i think i need which is a 4040 RO. (my water is 270 tds) Need to...
