Yes mate I have, but still operating in Essex too lol
I am still in a partnership in Essex, the Leicester round is my own round.
No rest for the wicked lol
My name change is because I want to seperate the 2 businesses.
I have loads of work to do this week and my NVQ course on Friday.
I am driving back and forth until the round in Essex is large enough to take someone on.

LOL  ;D ;D ;D ;D
The round in Essex is building up very nicely, quoted one job today and most likely picked up several others lol.
I also have a few commercial job enquiries too.

my next bit of kit will be a 62ft pole and a traffic or vivaro standard wheelbase van.
could do with a 650l tank. I haven't been door knocking for a few months.
people are finding me through google and some have kept flyers i dropped earlier this year.

 ;D ;D

what size tank are you getting Daz?

if you use 250l a day, you do not need to take someone one fella, I would use that amount on my own in the morning, I would be looking at the way I worked before looking at taking someone on as 250l spells incorrect use of time and system and money

Daz, I dont know your work are how fast you are. But 250l a day for a full time wfp is just screaming waste of time to me, I would like to knwo the amount of water and time you are doing 5 months down thwe line as this is about when you really see what your using, people that say after a month are kidding (that was not aimed at you daz by the way) I just see on here loads of tripe and mis info.

I use a garden tap if possible for the pre wash of a con roof or the whole con clean, and then use pure to polish it up and de spot, I dont waste water if possible but to go slow to save water to me is total madness

i use only 200 litres a day on 4-5 hours a day im happy like
that plus if your talented like me you can make the best use
of your water e.g threading an eye of a needle and still being quick

rather than smashing a nut with a hammer and completely wasting
your resources ;)
