Here's a list of stuff I'd reccomend to start off with from wintecs. I like wintecs because they don't charge for p&p and their customer service is good.
This is all kit I own and would reccomend..
Unger bucket- £7.61 - http://www.wintecs.c...&products_id=28
Unger Ergotec Handle - £5.78 (this will be your 'main' handle) http://www.wintecs.c...&products_id=64
10 inch channel w/ soft rubber (this and the handle above I use on 99.99999% of trad jobs. Smaller channel = easier to work with = faster = better.)- £2.58 http://www.wintecs.c...roducts_id=1041
Unger S squeegee handle - £4.09 - (this is for the 6 inch channel below, I use this handle because its smaller and the 6 inch channell only gets used on openers and such where the 10 doesnt fit. They are the perfect combination.) http://www.wintecs.c...products_id=522
6 inch channel - £1.92 - see above - http://www.wintecs.c...&products_id=54
Unger T bar for applicator, 14 inch - £2.75 - http://www.wintecs.c...&products_id=96
Ettore porcupine applicator sleeve - £8.61(has bristles that take off dirt and **** really well - saves me using a scraper a lot. I am the envy of all my friends! Really worth getting.) http://www.wintecs.c...&products_id=83
Pulex bucketonabelt - £10.64 (you can't really trad without a boab, well - you can, but it's a nightmare.) http://www.wintecs.c...products_id=112
Unger 15cm scraper - £7.85 - Have never needed or wanted a smaller scraper since I bought this and the porcupine glove. http://www.wintecs.c...products_id=923
Jumbo microfibre - cut in 2, so it's easily pocketable. £3.03 - http://www.wintecs.c...products_id=641
(Maybe get 2 or 3 if you think you will need to do a lot of detailing?)
Unger soft rubber - 42 inches - My personal favourite rubber. £2.29 - Nothing worse than starting trad work, finding there is a nick in the rubber, and not having any spare. Worth getting. http://www.wintecs.c...products_id=237
Only other thing I think you'll need is a 'sill cloth - I just use whatever, an old teatowel, £1 microfibres from the pound shop, my favourite is a carlsberg beer rug towel thing from the local pub - it's just for sills so it doesnt really matter much.
Now, other people will prolly prefer different brands and items - but this is pretty much the exact kit I use when I do trad work now, these are the 'essential items' that get taken out on the road while a lot of the other stuff - different size scrapers, channels, different handles, etc etc - all get left at home. This is good quality kit, will last, and will do a good job. It is, in my opinion, a worthy investment and well set you off well for learning and mastering trad cleaning!
Total for all above is £57.15, then you have to add on VAT which at 20% is £11.43 giving you a total price of £68.58.
That might seem a lot but consider it is good kit that will LAST and do a good job and it's really not so bad.
So you can edit it about or not use it /emoticons/smile.png
Best keep to the well known basic stuff.Thanks - that's very helpful. I should have spotted that! My brother recommended GBPro stuff (from green-bear.co.uk) but I can't see it mentioned - is it any good does anyone know?
That's the main thing that will make the differencePlanning to start in business cleaning windows in the Grantham area. No real experience to speak of, but I'm happy to work hard.
And be friendly; it helps loads /emoticons/smile.pngThat's the main thing that will make the difference
