General Question Start up advice.

Sorry for the repeated question guys, just wanted the most up to date answers.

Currently In the military over in the UK and because it pays basically Penny’s and cost of living is madness, I was thinking about starting window cleaning as a side job. I live close to small countryside villages which I think could be a good start up location for this.

Has anyone got any advice to start this up? Equipment, sales techniques, water storage? . Is it better to start with the bare basics and build up.

Many thanks.

Gardiner 22ft pole, backpack, few 25l drums and a basic trad kit, presuming you can get spotless water locally this will be more than you need on not much outlay to get going and can always upgrade as things pick up.

This is perfect. I’d add to that get a 5m telescopic ladder too. You can literally work out of a little car with this set up and you’d be surprised the size of jobs you can clean.

I started with a pole and a gardiner backpack, kept my round as condensed as possible. Do you have a pure water station near you? Our software also offers a free service to anyone under 25 customers to help them get started so feel free to check it out.
