Good luck with it mate I'm only the other end of the phone if you need any advise. BE WARNED the window cleaners forums out there are nothing like this one mate.

The members just ***** and whine at one another about who dose it best and how many millions they earn. Don't get me wrong they have there uses but be careful.

Recently there has been major dramas with one fella getting banned and starting up a new forum taking 80% of the members with him.

As I said any help or advise you need just ask. I can't advise strongly enough to go WFP though mate. You can be set up for around £600 with a small system then upgrade once you need to.

I have been thinking about wc for a long time and been bringing the subject up with customers and quite a few are not that happy with wfp...maybe its bad operators not knowing what they are doing, so thats why i thought i would start trad cleaning in my area.

I was trad when working for the old man for 6 years and dam good too. I hated wfp and hated when I had to use it because of the complaints but the key is to get customers who don't complain. I was trad for a year on my own and when I had to convert the customers over the wfp I lost about 5 customers and had enough time spare to take on another 30+ a week.

At 10+ a house and just 15 mins to clean them you do the maths.

But saying that I am a true believer that is is easier to build a round on trad than wfp. So you are not necessarily doing the wrong thing starting out trad.

the local wfp blokes are losing ground to trad where I am, if you understand wfp and maintain your resins and filters regularily you shouldnt have problems with streaking etc

problem is these lads dont understand what they are using and are getting too many complaints and losing work to trad wcs

Far to many guys think its a get rich quick trade. The wfp is not a magic wand there really is a method to it.
