Glass/Nursery house cleaning
« on: September 23, 2010, 06:09:19 pm »
Hi Guys,

Cleaned the driveway of a Nursery manager and she asked me if i would be interested in cleaning the outside of there very big glass house! Just wondering how the hell you clean the roof as she said the last guys the owner used had a special machine  ???

Any help would be great  ;)

Cheers
Alan

What size of glass house are you talking about ?
Not far from me are acres of glass houses , most are of a modern construction which have built in spay lines especialy for this purpose , the older type it is a case of onto the roof and walking along with a knapsack , not sure what they use but believe it it some sort of acid, and then you gat the  wooden dutch glass house construction, safest bet here would be to actualy go along under the glass open ing the dutch lights and spraying , a time consuming task. Must admit not seen any cleaned by a machine as such

Yes seen the pictures, A little larger than what I originally imagined.

You will require access equipment. Either hire or sub it out..

We have done larger buildings like that, but we have been able to reach and walk in the isles as it was strong enough to hold our weight.

If you get to the top, is there no way you could use an aluminium tube plank to walk across safely. Its more than a one person job. It could easily be scaffolded out for certain sections.

If cherry picker is out of the question...
