For £2500 your looking at a decent van. I'm not spending any where near that to be honest, not till things pick up anyway and then maybe later.
I paid around £400 for my tools. This included a wet and dry cutter, grout floats, gorilla tubs, trowels, grout wisk, rubbing stones, wash boy system, sponges, nippers and the list goes on. So pretty decent value I'd say.
Darren sells a load of gear but he will run through on the course what he deems to be "essentials" some of the kit is not necesary to get going with and you can always go back to him at a later date or purchase else where.
Let me know how you get on when you finish.
