Peter was a top bloke. Great innovator too.

When I first started window cleaning his forum and advice got me set up. I couldn’t even begin to count how many people he helped.

Really sad news.

I got into wfp in 2005 by buying one of Peter Fogwill's trolley systems. It had two 25L barrels in a wheeled frame, a 60psi shurflo pump in a box and a small car battery hanging off the back.

It came with an unger aluminium pole with the hose outside that in theory could be made up to 40 feet.

This all sat in my 1991 Honda Civic estate car!

So sorry to hear Peter has passed away.
It's a game of three halves!

Sorry to hear the tragic news of Peter. I remember him clearly, he was inspirational to others.  I remember he use to brag he could clean the front of a house in no time at all and put some vids up to back up his word. He had some good ideas, met him once to talk to, top bloke.

Sad to hear the news about Peter.
I too started off on Wfp with his trolley system many moons ago.
I popped out to his workshop in Uphall a few times over the years for spares and repairs and he was such a helpful guy and I can remember telling him about the Clean it up forum and I think that planted the seed for his forum on his website.
I moved over to a van mounted system and never had the need to call him again but i still had his number stored on my phone.
Last time I was out at his workshop he was showing me his prototype for his clampless pole and I was very interested but it never came to anything.
A innovator and a hell of a nice bloke to boot.
Rip.

I spoke to peter a few times over the phone going back several years ago, in the early days of going wfp, and he seemed like a nice, helpful & decent fella. Ive still got 2 of his excellent fogwash water heaters in my loft that i don't use nowadays.
Condolences to his family & friends.
RIP peter, thanks for your helpfulness in our industry.
God Bless M.

Peters forum was the first one that I ever joined back in the day my old mate Jeff Brimble used to do a lot for him too. R.I.P. Sadly missed.

That's really sad. My first ever WFP pole was from him - and I had one of his autobrushes too. He answered loads of my messages and stupid questions when I was starting out.  :'(
