For my brand new Peugeot van I pay £35 a week. You can lease the same from varitech with WFP setup already installed for not much more.

Why mess about trying to put a tank in an estate car?

[cornelius jemmerso]

much depends on how long you have been in the biz .

 if you are in the first 2 years you really need an estate car,as this will draw in far more folk on the street to you  , FAR MORE .  (dont buy a snazzy looking van too early is my tip )

and me, it amazes me the amount of people who think you really need a van and ionics top end system to succeed in this biz, it traditionally a working mans game ( even worse to be honest, most see it as a top-up-your-dole type of job, sorry folks, but thats the public perception  ) the customer wants clean windows, thats it

we used to have the same arguement with the DIY WFP system V's the pro installed system, the customer would think you were a cowboy if they saw in the back of your van you had a tank fitted by yourself, no really we did, it was very common for people to spout that rubbish, they truely believed that a customer would come and ask to see inside your van then note the tank wasnt secured in a "crashed tested manor " , it seems even funnier now

WE as legitimate businesses can work to change the publics perception of window cleaners.
I have lots of recommondations from customers who state, that I look and act very professional.

How do you come to that conclusion?

if you seek ONLY  the hi-brow upper crust customers, maybe a snazzy van may impress them . but for the everyday semi ,the rank n file folk,  the impression of an oldish car /van is what they REALLY  want you to be in .

your van MB  is allrite as its ageing (no offence)  and as your building up ,id stick with it , once rounds is full you can treat yourself to a new one .just my opinion

Are you able to install 250 ltr water tanks in estaste cars?

jay

If you have the seats down, then yes.

sounds ok....how much deposit did you pay and how long is the rental?...do you get to own the van/equipment at the end of the term?

I have a full round up in Leicester cornelius, I have moved down to Essex and building a round down here.
The main thing I would say is a van can fit so much more kit in than ANY estate car, the last thing you want is to look clumsy at the customers house. If you invest in a WFP system, you can afford a van. you can pick up a reasonably decent van for less than £1K

I see the van as a tool, as I have quite a bit of kit, for which the escort van is not large enough.

so a guy pulls up with a estate car and pulls out his hose ( or his cart ) and his pole and away he goes

hardly clumsy is it ? ? ?

we could say that a van of 1 K will look older and you will look like a scruff in a tatty old van, its easy to find fault with everything if you look hard enough

im thinking i really want to see a big estate ,with a big tank wedged in somehow. if anybody knows of one,get a photo and flag it on here .

in my town are the wackiest one iv seen is a trad car(bmw estate) it has big green crosses  stuck on it, "first aid for windows" and the guy driving it looks wackey
