HMRC have 1000s of window cleaners on there books.
They use algorithms against our industry and every other.
If the algorithm flashes up an inconsistency against a business it can flash up for further investigation.
An old friend of mine had been a shinner for years.
Cash based for most of the time.
Had an inspection and had to pay back £50:000.
He reckoned they know every trick in the book re window cleaners.

How did he pay back £50k?£500 a month for 10 years?

Always used to love a roasting Bovril at halftime when watching football. Not been for decades now and don't know if they still sell the stuff.

Never have got my head around drinking soup from a cup. It should be in a bowl with a proper soup spoon, and only consumed when your not feeling well  :).

They probably just look at it, give it a clean and take your money.  ::)roll

You would think for extortionate prices they charge they would chuck the service (whatever the hell there is to service on a reel ) in for free, i wouldnt give them another penny.

Everthings a massive rip off in this game, I can’t believe the price of xtreme poles now.

Yes, I know we can all afford it, before anyone pipes up about that, the point still remains, it’s all a rip off.

I could do with a new fob for my WFP link, over £100! For a fob!

I’m in the market for a new Electric reel, but gonna wait till Black Friday. My current one if knackered.


Hi Zesty. A replacement WFPL Fob are currently £68 + VAT and shipping. The Fobs are made in the UK and have a 2 year warranty.  The Fob also has to meet UKCA and CE radio transmission regulations and these days we have to account for recycling regulations

Drop me an email and lets see what we can do

Cheers

I once made a fob for about a tenner, never used it as had no need for it but it worked.

I would try and fix the reel, mine dropped to bits  so i replaced the spindle, stripped it down and re painted it.  Then the the motor went but just replaced it with a motor off ebay for about 30 quid

I wouldnt buy another at the prices they are now.

I’ve repaired it several times, can’t be bothered to keep repairing it, it’s knackered cos it’s been bashed about by other things in the van, the belt keeps coming off cos it’s all out of alignment. The casing of the whole reel tends to separate which pulls the belt off the gears.

Do yourself a favour and get a PF reelmaster. They are the best electric reels on the market. They are bulletproof.

Not everyone has nearly £1000 Inc Vat for a hose reel Daz

A decent flask should keep stuff warm for at least 4 hours if not longer.......

Well, its this time of year when I stock up with cup a soup varieties from Amazon. You can buy 24 sachets for less than a pound a pop. Great for the guys who work a full day and have a flask or a van kettle. I just saw Makita now sell a battery kettle which holds 0.8 litre but not sure how long it takes.

It would most likely take about 30 minuets  to get hot enough

Other dances are available.

And note to Scottish!

A pound a pop?!?!

Go to Aldi and get 4 for 65p.
