WFP - Is it worth it
« on: May 07, 2004, 10:00:07 pm »
Is there any WFP user out there who will give me some honest unbiased advice.

I have nearly 30 customers in maisonettes up to three floors. Each are in blocks of 5. I can clean each of these in about 15 mins at £8.50 each.

Would a WFP system be able to do these without taking all my profit. Does anyone know how much water each flat would take ( 4 windows ) and what are the operating costs in reality.

I would like to buy a system as I could get a further 30 - 40 customers had I but the time. I would really like to be certain that I would be able to make a good profit at that price as an increase in very unlikely.

Please advise

Stephen

Stephen,

Anything a water fed pole can clean it will clean quicker than by hand, not counting setup/ breakdown time (there is a COcKnEY on here who can do this in the blink of an eye ;D).

But isn't there stuff below that you won't be cleaning? Are the maisonettes above shops etc?  The WFP would probably drip over these spoiling the glass.  It's best to do all the windows to the ground floor.  Why not try to get the below work as well?
