[Distortion]

Hi guys,
         
I want to pick your brains and hope you can help with some / all of my questions.

Rant on ....

1) At what point did you register for VAT ? and what does it entail ?

2) (stupid Q) Do you use water from your home address, how much on average does this cost per month (and how much do you use) ?

3) Would you reccomend a fibreglass or aluminium pole ?

4) Apart from liability insurance, accident cover and water costs, what other ongoing costs do i need to consider ?

5) If i am using a pole system (decided to go for a Shurflo Backpack and pole system) would i still need ladders for anything you can think of ? as this would mean i also need a roof rack.

6) What would a starter kit consist of using a WFP ? how many brushes etc.

7) how do you price up a conservatory ?

At the moment i am a named driver on my wifes car insurance which is domestic use only. Obviously i will need to change this to business use - in your experience have you found this easy and affordable to do ?

Really appreciate any questions you can answer.

Maybe one day i can give out advice

Happy cleaning

I'm based in Staffordshire - why  Have you got any work for me? 

[NWH]

I wouldn`t worry about the VAT yet.

1 dont worry about vat yet
2 im not on a water meter so dont know
3 poles ? ask that one separetly once you know what your doing
4 resin, fuel, broken parts wear and tear
5 to gain access over gates, or bulding with extensions etc
6as well as your backpack you will need an ro system to produce water or di if your water is soft enough, and something to carry it in that can transfer to backpack,
these are very short answers have a look round the site for more detailed answers or ask maybe one at a time eventually it will make sense

business use for my car cost an extra 25 quid at start now have a van with separate policy

if your car is only taking you to your place of work it is not business use ,same as going to work anywhere.

I sold all my work, we looked after the security lodge on the park, the big McDonalds (which is now Burger King) and Magic HQ - which is the main staff offices.

They are a right tight bunch up there and there is a safe contractor scheme in place but my understanding is that the hotels have a window cleaner?!!!!!. It is a real closed shop to get anywhere on the park and as we are working in other directions they can stay dirty for me.

Distortion - the money in your area is in the Seabridge area - we had a bit of work over there but it was too far out of the way for us so we let it go - well priced as well

Good luck

Rob

Fibreglass/Carbonfibre

Yes, all trad tools too

Whatever you can afford from £250 to 25K
