OK Ladder, I'm in Germany but just cuz Unger are Guurmuns I don't think it's THAT much cheaper here. I started with 1 kit and 1 spare. A complete Unger dolly ( aplicator I think in UK) complete sqeegy cloths, scraper, dunno what that is in UK.(razor) Basically 2 of everything that fits in a bucket (2 of them). Ladders 2x 12 with stabler. Extention pole 1x3 mtr etc etc. Step ladder 2x3 all together 280 to 300 sheets.Roof rack for the car I had at the time. What can I say. I bought 3 point ladder with parts later but i was talking about start up.  Stand by what I've said

Goota go 2nd half ;D

It wasn't a contridiction, I agree that you could start up for 300 but if I replaced all the equipement I have, and a set of ladders as listed it would be more. I was just curious how much it all added upto.

you could get 2 sets of ladders for about 200, and I have two sizes of poles, about 100 thats 300 there, before I buy a squeegee.

ive gone off swivel feet,in certain places they were the bees knees,but last week i slid 2 foot down a wall on slippy flag also not good on grass slopes,gravel,decking,will be taking feet off at some point and spiking which not as good on some jobs but is better all round

hi stan

with the clima ones you can flick them round, so that the ladder  digs in the slopes

and the gravel, as for the slippery flags a couple of scrims :o will do the trick

i will get some stick for that last comment ;)

but go wfp and you will avoid most of these problems,, nag nag ;D

The government treat you different and you don’t pay road tax and you’re exempt from having vehicle insurance and every petrol station lets you take as much fuel as and when you need it.
 ;D

I now actually class vehicle costs as a perk of the job.
In previous jobs (factory work) I still had a vehicle to get to work, still had to pay fuel, servicing, repairs, tax, mot etc etc.
I now offset all costs against tax :)
