as you already have the pump and tank you will need something to make pure water, fit a di vessel in the back of van, if you are considering doing domestic window cleaning too then you would be better of in the long run with a ro as it works out cheaper,
as for the pole and brush again depending on what you wanna do, cons = short pole........ windows = long pole
a booster pump is not always needed, ie if your tap water has good pressure to your ro unit then not needed, if low pressure then b/pump is better
hose reel........ if only cons = short length,
if windows = 100 mtrs micro bore is best
hope this helps

Do you think this is going to be worth your while?

Out of over 300 customers, I clean about two conservatory roofs per month, maybe rising to four or five in the Summer.

Do you think there's a big enough market out there for purely a conseravatory roof clean?

what tosh is saying is right.. is it really worth it for cons only? i don't think so

if however you want to go ahead then just buy a di vessel (not sure on price) and tap into customers outside tap, therefore making pure water as it runs through the vessel

I personally think that there is a gap in the market for specialist conservatory cleanng companies.

There are many window cleaners who don't touch conservatory roofs... I have picked up many conservatory roof cleans from people who already have a window cleaner (that won't touch the conservaorty roof).

I think that if marketed correctly conservatory cleaning is a viable business.

yes i agree with andy, but i will say i am not looking to make my living just out of it as ive been cleaning carpets for 12 years , just a little add on for when ive got afternoon free ,
also bit confused as i thought u made the water in u tanks pure? but u are saying use a custy tap? so y do u guys carry a water tank ?
p.s not really looking just to do the roofs but the whole lot when someone really lets it go
