Mate!

now tha u have a lad on boad helping u out as i am going into this route soon,, well first to water fed and then into that route hopefully by october or november.. just wondering what your sort of price your paying on the employers insurance mate for one lad.


Thanks Dave

[colley614]

To be honest matey I'm not quite sure how mines broken down.

I pay £200 employers and £466 public liability but I think some of that public covers my employee. Word of advice though mate make sure you offer a months trial because I let a lad go lad last week after a few days. I gave another lad a go today and he was well more impressive. By 12:00 he was off on his own squeegeeing away!

[dave0123]

cool!


Yer! i no mate best to give trial 2 see if you both work ok 2gether 2


and yes some of your public will be for the lad as well! if u dnt mind mate what insurance company u with? seems quote good price that i think.

I am with them as well, the only insurance companyI have ever been with that  reduced  my renewal payment

[colley614]

Dave how are you looking at getting setup wtp wise. I'm thinking of getting a back pack for now and then taking it from there. Just out of interest do you go to Wallasey paints for you window cleaning gear?

[dave0123]

thanks colley.


looking to get set up with 400 lit system van mount mate..


Erm no i dont but i no someone who goes there quite expensive iv heard its not proper window cleaning shop is it? tha jus by walasey village round about??

i mostly get my gear from window cleaning warehouse.. no postage costs either at the moment top stuff.

What about u?

[colley614]

I go to wallasey. Got to admit that shop does have its ups and downs but it is better than the cleaning supplies on the Priory estate. I'm gonna go for backpack this year and work my way up as I'm still using the car at the moment. I may even lease one next year if things keep picking up as they have been since I set up shop. Got to admit the guy in wallasey his water fed pole stuff is REALLY on the expensive side of the market!

[dave0123]

hmm! maybe im thinking of someone else...



do you mean the little DIY shop in walasey normaly has loads a ladders outside??

yer.. i no what u mean get back pack and see how it goes! I was actully watching some guys doing some flats a few months ago i went round next day  2 see how the windows looked.. just as a vistor lol.. i wasnt impressed really dont think they were washing the frames there was lots of mucky runs of water... but i no wfp can do a better job than that.


Dave

[colley614]

Yeah its always the operator to blame with things like that. Remember our old firm the guys used to turn pressure right down on the machine and then give windows a quick rub with the brush and not rinse off. I seen some guys wfp pole a block of flats in prenton and they done approx 30 flats in the time it took me to squeegee the bay on a living room!

You are thinking of the same guy in Wallasey. Problem with him is he makes the prices up. I bought a unger holster of him for £15.99 a week later it cost £11.99 but both lots cost me the same as I bought mop and squeegee at the same time? What a guy!   

[dave0123]

Yer thats were i seen some lads doin it!!  big block like!! sort of the stuff i used to do when i worked for someone.. they were going fast these as well!! about 5 mins then done about neally the hole of the back!!


£16.00 thats expense even £12.00 i bought a new one the other week to mate and new pouch the unger bucket on belt as 9.60 i think no more than 10.00 from window cleaning warehouse.. i have a mate who goes to that bloke for rubber n gets standard unger rubber 5 36inch for about 10.00 ! was shocked as i compared to w/h about 5-6 i think.

I didnt no he sold Water Fed systems tho do u have to ask for that?

Dave

[colley614]

The guy has got brochures under the counter but I would consider it a waste of petrol even going to see them as I think a 250ltr set up was about £2000 ish

[dave0123]

Ahh right!!

2000 lol!  Cheap il pay cash 


Dave

arite Troops, Colley sorry i aint got back to you m8 i been away and mad busy playing catch up. If you are getting a WFP system give me a call if your stuck for water. I dont realy use my set up only for the odd jobs.

[colley614]

Tell me about it. I'm gonna try and get as much of my first system nearly new at the moment as I think I've spent enough on equipment for my first year in trading. I think I've spent about £5000 in about 9 months and haven't even earned that myself at the moment I've been living off savings to get going.

[colley614]

Hi biscute,

Hope things are going well with you. I seen a guy working in port sunlight about a week ago was that you?

[dave0123]
