fab bit of kit. I use it on a couple of shop fronts and some other bits. Turned mine into a flapper though rather than flipper to stop the mop bit bunching at the bottom of the pane.

I am thinking of getting a wagtail or two.

Ive heard good things about them, but are they any good on a pole about 18 feet high? Would that save any time at that height?

As for WFP, Yes we have it, but I am not yet a strong believer. As theres too much that could go wrong. Been lucky so far...nothing has.

Prefer traditional at present but spent the £2000 + on the kit a few years  back. Great for high windows over 20 feet though...,

pristine ive been wfp a month and changed everything over to wfp bar a block of granny flats and a few other accounts where trad is faster.

all 1st/2nd floor windows are done wfp will some bottoms as well and the rest trad.

had a few complaints in the first week but getting better at it now and i will rectify any runs/mistakes next week when im back round again!!

i dont see the point is spending all that dosh and not using it!also ive improved a lot using it day in/day out!!

Wagtails are brilliant, especially on bigger panes or when doing high internal work. If you haven't bought one yet, you are missing out!
