Advice for new business

Hi..I have emigrated from South Africa to Manchester UK. Back home in SA I had a waste removal business. I believed strongly in advertising and this was a successful marketing action that worked well for me. 90% of my ads were local newspapers in different areas and Gumtree. I've spent a lot of money in Manchester and my response for advertising is extremely poor. As a service related business, can anybody steer me in the right direction. At the moment Gumtree is my best form, but not enough business. Many thanks
