I've been asked to quote for cleaning the windows on a block of flats with about 36 windows. It's 3 storeys high ( ground, first and second). I can get to the first floor no problem with a ladder, but there's no way I'm going up to the 2nd floor on a ladder.

I've got an Unger Optiloc pole that can reach. However, I need to clean the frames aswell, and a squeegee is pretty useless for cleaning frames at that height. I've got an Unger brush that I use on the end of the pole to clean conservatories, so that might work. I've also got a clamp to hold cloths so this will help for wiping off the windows.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated to make life easier though as there are 12 windows on the 2nd floor and it's going to be pretty tiring

hi gazz28, it would be much easier to use a wfp for that type of work,
see example here,

hi gazz28, why not get yourself a 25/30ft wfpole and a small di resin vessel, if its only for one job it'll cost very little to bu and run plus keeps you on the ground whilst cleaning the frames etc.

Hi Gaz,

When I was in my early days I used to sub work out to other w/c that were set up to cope with bigger contracts.

This gave me the chance to get involved with bigger work and also an opportunity to build my own work up.

Then as I built the company up I took back the work and kept it inhouse.

If you take on something that your not ready for you could end up in hot water and lose the contract as well as get yourself down.

This sounds like an easy WFP job and I am sure people on here will help you out.

Best wishes,

Trev
