Hi,
Today i did a large conservatory roof, the type that slope down from the house, narrow but long in length,
a painter was inside and had just painted the main back wall, whilst i was on the ladder, pole in hand attached to customer hosepipe to get the main dirt off.
whilst i was blasting the top off the roof against the wall to get the leaves and dirt out with two jets on brush, he shouted to stop as water was coming down the wall, lots of little streams of water running down his wet paint.
Now, the top of the con roof, where it meets the wall has a tiny 2" little canopy and i jetted under it to clear the debri.... so it was in fact sheltered from the rain,
To cut it short the painter was fine, he re-painted and said no cost etc... and i then used an applicator and squeegy to get the rest out... then finished the job.
What if the customer had been sitting having afternoon tea in the conservatory when i was cleaning the roof and water started running down the walls....?
.. where would i have stood?
it seemed to have no seals, and was only protected from heavy rain by that tiny canopy thing.
would she have claimed against me ? or the people who installed the conservatory...
I Dare not do another one now.
Gary.
