Hey guys, been a silent lurker of the forums for a while now! But figured I would sign up and seek out some advice, I have been working for a window cleaning company for over a year now and have learned the craft. I handle all aspects of outdoor cleaning from window cleaning, fascia and gutter cleaning, conservatory roof cleans, etc all with a water fed pole system mounted in my van provided by my boss.
I am good at my job, and my customers are always happy with my work. I also have new customers come up to me almost daily, and I go round and give them a quote on behalf of my boss so I have even managed to learn some of the "customer service" skills too.
However I live in a small village with several other small villages surrounding it and I am told that window cleaners are few and far between in this area. I see a lot of potential here and would like to start to build up my own round. My only problem is, I have never been shown how to actually set up a water fed pole system - what equipment is required, how to set it up, the best vans etc. I could hazard a guess as I see most of these things on a daily basis but I would really like to know exactly what I need so I can gather the bits and pieces and build my set up prior to leaving my current job.
So in short, I have no equipment of my own, no van. I have funds available and would like to purchase decent equipment that will allow me to carry out the job to a high standard without breaking the bank too much to begin with! What would you guys recommend? What do I need?
Thanks!
