Shoved leaflets out and knocked some doors .. whoopy one and 2 maybes customer needs cleaned windows and have drive too price and clean..


One tip smile and just be confident and polite.

One problem need a van lowish price as budget tight enough for 1 man set up with option for pressure washer..

Before you go too far further its best to get ready to clean, the best results come from being able to tell them you are cleaning the next day....

i know but needed too reassure myself that customers was there first ... Thanks i hear what you are saying though...

Made a few mistakes in other ventures and a litle nervous on that front.

Far more confident that i can pick up customers my confidence as been rather battered to be truthfull.
Also just healing from  stitches as well nearly better now.


Any advice  i try to listen.

good luck geezer. any idea of budget? don't want to buy van and it end up being too small due what you need!

[Gary f]

Very tight budget under 2k would like a toyota hi ace looking enough to days work maximum 15 houses... Something like maybe 500 litres.... Have looked @ dispatch ... but is 500 Litres too heavy for van.

Anyone got anything worth considering let me know.


Starting small and part time then go from there..

Personally i would always go for a transit van, if they do go wrong they much cheaper to repair....

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Personally I'd go with a smaller van, berlingo, kangoo, doblo, combo etc with 400 ltr tank. More than you'll need for some time & you'll get a good one for less than your budget. Don't hadicap yourself with thoughts of expansion my friend, kit up for your now & near future circumstances.

You can also get the old shape dispatches up to 1200kg payload too. The 1200 is quite rare but 900KG is quite common.

Whats your pricing like G?

kangoos are cheap.ive got a 350L in mine.plenty for a sole trader domestic window cleaner if your flow controller is working!! i do trad some ground floors during my working day as well though.

check the payload if your thinking of getting one.mines 625kg.i reckon im just under with trad stuff and me.all work within 10 miles.most 5 miles so not a problem.

im well established and clean over 300 accounts every month.
