customers who expect you to risk your life cos they prefer the tradisonal finsih need to see this...

What a sad story. Any customer wanting the trad method done can kiss my hairy arse in future.
Safety first which is half the reason we all become wfp over traditional.

No, I think he's a rich guy; and not in terms of money either.  He gives those talks with the motivation of helping prevent other people from making the same mistake; he's got real meaning in his life, which is probably a lot more than a lot of people have.

Yep they dnt give a crap mate. And your right i have had them say they dont care etc.
Luckily for us there are plenty more custies out there who do like wfp and accept that its safer.
With wfp being so cheap and easy to start its crazey the amount of trad cleaners against it.

Seeing that video now that i'm WFP, make's me shudder to think what happened to that poor guy could  have

happened to me in the past when i was using ladders,   if any customer insisted on me tradding using a

ladder i would just say find someone else to do their windows.

hi lal thats the mentality i had for the last 3+ years since i converted

at times i must admit i was tempted or some times on the smaller houses i knew its almost just as fast and at times when i lost those customers i felt a bit annoyed
but after listening to him it makes me realize i was doing the right thing and will continue to walk away from customers who demand that we risk our lifes.

this is why me and the lad are trying to put a ban on ladders full stop even on flat roofs. we will try and get a back pack for doing some house's and if they don,t like that then i will dump and replace with 2 other lol. I feel like getting the ladders now and cutting them up
