Sahara dust is on it's way for the next 48 hours.   Taking tomorrow off, not gong to risk wasting my time.

I noticed it today on few skylights I was cleaning....

I dont work most fridays so off anyway but I wouldn't take a day off if I had work scheduled in just because of a bit of Sahara dust.

Hi,
I've got 3 univalves which are sticking. I've tried lubing one up erm... Anyway it's still sticking so must be springs, do the replacement kits on ebay actually work?
I've a brand new one fitted but just for recycling the old ones instead of buying another new one.

IMO they need servicing every now and again with a smear of silicone grease.

Never been busier. Spring has started early up here, not used to double digit temperatures so customers are wanting stuff done as quick as possible. My radiator in my house sprung a leak and my washing machine needs a new bearing. Just waiting for something else to break because it usually comes in 3,s. Windows in the morning and home stuff in the afternoon, happy days.

Spring has sprung, just makes you feel so much happier. Eight potentially good, light months ahead till winter, actually put suncream on my  face yesterday, I could feel my cheeks glowing.

The Rootek kits on ebay are better than OEM. The springs are stainless and last for ages! Haven't bought a new univalve in a long time as I just service them with the ebay kits. 👍

We don’t use univalves but I know the guy that owns Rootek  he has several products that are very good we tested a few things for  him and all work well , he is a window cleaner and designs things to solve problems he has encountered, his customer service  is also very good , all his products are well worth looking at .

I tried fixing some they worked for a bit longer but then gave up again.

Ive stopped using univalves as they dont last long before they start sticking, get to the point when they are just coming on and off when walking. Yes they are good when new but i cant be bothered keep buying them so gone back to a small tap on the brush head. Uses slightly more water perhaps but just as easy to use.
