Thank you for that. I still think that is rather overpriced or am I just out of touch on the price of a BRUSH!
just had another look on the brush web site and the brush i used was £349.00 plus a bit of angle and an s30 hanger at about £100 i suppose it depends on how good you are with hand brush . i was on a job last week and had to load 60 ton of sand that had been tipped out on the grass cleaned that up in no time and no sweat and in the house for about 3.00 and paid for the full day and travel.

In fairness the same could be said of a shovel.

It boils down to volume, if you have to brush an acre of grass then you will need a few of you and a couple days or a machine and half a day.
it helps if you have the few men when you need them i tend to work myself so any thing to make life easier will pay given a bit of time

The link sent me to the 2.0m assembled brushed. The £349 option is more online with what I was thinking!!;)

I think the sweepertec brush looks a better bet with some home fabrication!
by far i would think the sweepertec brush is very heavy duty i am sad like that to much time to do research sad realy

Sad or not....I am liking being able to share advice, opinions and suggestions without having to re invent the wheel (or brush in this case) on my own!!

I generally go for £25-30per hour depending on job and how long. I only work flexible hours to suit me as I have child care commitments!!

rates are always a bone of contention on any public forums saw one on face book the other day all sorts of comments from i would not get out of bed for that to how can you charge that you have some nerve i try and get £27.00 most of the time on a steady hire some times have to drop a bit in January for a couple of weeks on day jobs i will do a day rate but it all works out over the month/year
i see 2.5 ton machines out at £21 but not me
