    Water marks left again!! ???

    Wait...... is the windows in the picture dry???  It looks like its still wet? if that’s it dry, then no way is it your pure water system. That looks like someone’s been washing the window down with tap water.

    How much quicker is cleaning with hot water?

    I use hot water all day. I wouldn’t be without it now.  Hoses are easier to manage, no matter what dirt is on the glass, just a quick scrub and it’s gone.  I do feel that over time it gives a deeper clean also.

    Thinking of up grading to a facelift hot water system

    Just had my grippatank 9kw heater fitted to my existing waterworks setup.  Been using it for two weeks now and I love it.  Id far recommend grippatank over facelift and ionics in my opinion.

    Hi about Window Cleaning license

    You must have a lower amoint of idiots where you live. People would fall over a match stick where I am. ?  I wouldn’t want to risk not having public liability insurance. Especially for £10 a month.

    Hi about Window Cleaning license

    I would say the worst part is no insurance.  Yes heavy fine, potential of a criminal record, no chance of him getting a license in the future etc etc.  Generally he should get a warning first. (I did when I first started) but is it really worth the risk?  Ive been stopped twice and asked to...

    WFP complacency

    Most of the work I get is from trad cleaners. The customers prefer that I clean all the frames, doors, sills, and don’t leave holes in their grass, or have to walk on their roof tiles to access certain windows.  As said above, it’s the not the method that is right or wrong, it’s the cleaner...

    Hi about Window Cleaning license

    Regardless of amount he needs a license unfortunately.  It will probably cost about £100 for a three year license so hardly breaking the bank. Still a pain though.

    LPG heater

    Dont worry about bout that at all. The majority of wfpers are cold. I used cold for years with no problems, apart from the odd day I couldn’t work because of the ice.  Hot it is a perk, and a luxury. Not a necessity.

    LPG heater

    I used to use one......... one day I came back to the van with flames pouring out from under the boiler. I had a leak on the gas inlet, and it caught itself on the boilers flame. I chucked it in the bin straight after that.  Lots of people use them, and lots will be on here no doubt saying they...

    Help with boiler

    Vented means the same as a flue. If you’ve got a roof vent then you will need to put some flexible pipe from the heater into the vent. Making sure it’s totally sealed.  Keep yourself safe and and get a carbon monoxide alarm in the cab of the van.
