Wondered how you did 200 sq yards in 3 hours.
2 helpers....that's still good going with a porty.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Well I can't get phone to ring at my prices and I'm fair I do a good job and use good chems just looked at my books and from January to today I have made £1068 all gone back into trying to get phone to ring advertising website etc this is the worst start to a year yet I'm scared I don't want to give up but think it might be the time to look for a job and keep a porty for beer money

How'd you do 200 sq yards in 3 hours??
Bonneting or porty?
Sounds a lot.
I usually work on 35 sq m per hour to include
vaccing, pre spraying etc.
Did just over 1200 sq m of shop late last year
and it took me best part of four 10 hour nights.

Well jands
You are just too slow ! Lol
us old timers know how to wand you know ! ;D
I stated how I did it in the thread cooking oil re visited ! And 35 an hour is a bit pathetic maybe when i am 70 i might slow down to that pace ! 100ft of two inch hose one Scorpion Full of very hot F90 Pre spayed very hot enzall and allowed to dwell for 45 mins, so realy the actual wanding was nearer two hours
I bet the likes of shaun ashmore or Billy russel could do it quicker than me, ive got fifteen years on them

200 sq.yds (1800 sq.ft) could be done in 2 hrs easy, but depends massively on carpet and condition, and the standard your working too.


Could also take 6 hrs.

A lot of boasting going on.

I couldn't do it in 2 hours. set up,vac, agitate, extract put gear away for me, impossible. others may work quicker though.

My point is no one can move faster than me, unless they are superman, therefore they must be 'doing' less.

Well as i said in the previous thread, it was just HD red cord carpet ! two years old but stained with cooking oil, but the Enzall eradicated that, 4 jet glided westpack and hot F90 saw off the rest

It makes me wonder how any of you lot make any money

Compared to Ian's old prices this is a vast improvement, he does know his stuff but I think his pricing has been out but that's only my opinion, he will however always help you if you ever need a hand as he is a genuine person.

Having seen lots of Ian's posts I would say it must be working for him or he wouldn't be doing it

I think he was in a low population area, anyone trying to operate in these sorts of area would find it hard.
