It feels so fresh

Just use extensions.. takes 10 seconds to drop the hose out.. put extension on and re thread hose

Not worth the expense of another pole

Clx4 bungalows, slx18 most of my work Slx22 for about 7 houses a month slx22 plus 2 extensions for three house a month all the poles I need.

I used a slx22 when I first started window cleaning after a couple of months purchased the slx18 best thing I had done can really feel the diffence after a days graft  for the sake of the price of the Slx18 it's a no brainer imo when 90% of your work is complete with a lighter pole.

thats true. certain ones can get baked on dirt like a conny roof. not much you can do with them in that case as like you say you cant get the pressure on.

some velux i clean i cant even see what im doing lol, its a best guess just feeling them with the brush head

spray some ubik on a brush

Hi there mate iv got a slx 22 my Every day pole can do 90% of round with it but I still need my clx27 for a few house , but the clx is pretty much worn out.  So if I got the 2 extra sections for slx  like you will it take it up to around 27-30ft ?

Well we are away for for a couple of weeks to France and Italy in September so all outstanding add ons need to be done by then because on return we will be add on free. 

Have made the final descision that as of 1st Oct we are purely window cleaners.  Not even gutters and conny roofs any more. 

Woo hoo.

 

[Cristian]

Mr Green, what insurance company where you using for covering all your add on work? 

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

I have always been with Gleaming.

Why not start a thread or a section @Gav for subbing or selling work. I dont mean rounds for sale just add on stuff. Gutters, drives etc.

People like @Green Pro Clean Ltd and others who get alot of add on work but no longer want it can auction it off in here or sell for a fee.

It'll be upto the seller who they wish to sell to as reputations could be tarnished by new comers and cowboys. 

Just an idea?

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Not a bad idea but I would not auction it off at random. I wouldnt want potential competitors turning up at my clients. 

When I jacked the add ons I had a deal in place with Dave that I would still quote and secure he work. He does it. I take 10%.  

I know he wouldnt try to husstle the windows. Bite the hand that feeds you and all that.

i agree, you need a certain amount of trust with whoevers doing the add ons.

@Green Pro Clean Ltd totally agree and that was my last point on my post. Its down to the seller who they decide to sell / gift it too. 

Just a thought for another section on this already excellent forum.
