Hi
I am thinking about starting my own window cleaning business - i have been reading other post on this forum and all have been very useful!!(excellent site!!)

What kind of ladders should i look to buy? Where's the best place to buy?
Also where to buy T-bar & applicators?
What are scrims?

What is a basic price on a terrace? 2 windows at front / 2 at back?

Thanks I'll give him a call

The other thing? I've not worked for a window cleaner (contacted all but none taking on) but not afraid of graft and a quick learner is it possible to learn on the job? Is there any websites/ documents giving tip/techniques?

hi there and welcome, for tbars scrims etc try www.scrimcity.co.uk they are very helpful and resonable priced, 1 tip when you buy scrims go for factory washed, buy the way where do you live?

Hi Courtnall,Im from Wakefield just round corner mate.

Scrimcity is excellent and so are cleantech.co.uk.
I learned at home,after a few days browsing this forum I bought the gear and practiced on my house for a few days.Only then did I unleash myself on the public.
Good luck and owt else ya need to know post it.Cheers

Wildcats forever.
