I stated that a part broke down after 5 weeks and even if it was used day in and day out, 5 weeks is still pretty poor. Where was the expectation of something to work "years to come"? The point was, the e-mail reply about warranty,which was forwarded to me, dismissed the warranty that is claimed...
I use an old WFP and an old brush with pencil jets for 99% of the cleaning I do. The other 1% where I can't get good purchase with the brush, the joins between the guttering and some corners, I use a nozzle that I got from Benz some years ago.
If you are using a Gardiners backpack, swap the...
Agree totally. The X-hose is what I use. Much easier than WFP. Using pencil jets of a WFP is tedious and you'll soon get tired of the job. On average water pressure of most houses you'll easily reach the guttering and often over with the X-hose.
Cheaper here on Amazon by a couple of quid but...
What I've done in the past is refer a friend and after their 3rd clean I have done original customer at half price.
If they refer me to 3 friends in 1 go, then I offered them a free clean after 3 months.
Some would argue about giving something away for free but in the past it got me work in...
Bought a lance with them last year some time. Failed within seconds. Was not amused.
Brushes,poles and all of their accessories, bleeding brilliant. Cannot and will not fault them.
Anything that's third party and back pack orientated I feel quite let down by them which is a shame.
That 1%...
Have fallen 22 feet off a roof due to a dodgy roof ladder.
Had a design fault. Long story but as soon as there was weight on lower end of the ladder the ridge hook would lift off the roof. Had a mate who was a roofer and had no fear of heights who tried it on my bungalow. He nearly came off...
Agreed.
Softwashed for a client. Can't remember exactly what size but not mad.
She was quoted £300 for that section of wall to be painted. I softwashed it for £80.( I had the chance to go and do the windows of the same property when the hypo was going off) She ended up only spending £25 on...
What tickled me on the Benz site was where there was a comment about carrying Hypo in your van and getting into an accident. What if I had an accident carrying "Blackwash"?
What if I had an accident on my motorbike? What if I woke up one morning and I found out that a tiger had eaten my leg in...

Genius in its simplicity. Great bit of kit.

Pop a mobile number on there. People can send you texts too.
Personally I leave a message saying that I don't accept calls from witheld numbers and refuse to answer the phone if one comes up. Saves sales calls.
It's the vari-flow control that has given up.
Don't ask why. They do. Know of a lad who had a 3 week old Gardiners back pack and it went on the 2nd time he used it.
Take the bottom off. Just some screws. Very poorly and cheaply put together.
While Gardiners poles and accessories that they...
