On the A14 i have seen many times,  the Incident Unit vans ( which i am sure are managed by the Highways Agency) cleaning the signs with a WFP.

how do you plan to clean the signs purely with your waterfed pole system or are you considering using a pressure washer and detergent???

Wfp with brush. On most of them we intend to just drive alongside and clean them through van window. I've got a very short pole for doing this.

did you by any chance do the spec savers advert on tv , where a pole was used to paint over a sign on a bus, from a moving vehicle

I've just won a contract with the Highways agency to clean all the road signs in my area excluding motorways and dual carriage ways of course. It works out to about £5 per sign every two months.
Does anyone else do this kind of work?

when u say £5 per sign is that over the course of the contract say 12 months as it seems a lot of money for each clean and as people think its a wind up i think this could be what u meant so say for example 400 road signs cleaned 6 times a year at £5 brings in £2000 extra per annum

Great idea, Could you send me a copy of your letter pretty please? I wont copy it but just want to see how you worded it because it obviously worked. I live in Witney Oxfordshire so way out of your area. my email is info@ro-sheen.co.uk

Cheers mate and well done!

Can't send you a copy it was done on my other pc which had a virus on so I lost some stuff including that letter. My other stuff was backed up on a copy cd.
Basicly all I did was login to their website. Look for contact us page and then wrote a letter saying who I was and what my business was all about. My public liability, risk assesment, and health and saftey certificate. Then just asked if anyone ever cleaned them. Within 1 week I had a phone call from their human resouces dept then a month later called me into their offices in Birmingham. I'm starting the work tomorrow.

Believe what you like mate. I thrive on proving people like you wrong. So when I get time I'll ask my worker to take some pictures of me in action cleaning signs. Jealousy get you knowhere mate. :

[trevor perry]

how are they going to monitor which signs you have cleaned, surely you will be given specific roads to do on certain days and then they will have to do spot checks to see the work is carried out, also with the amount of signs there will be this would be very costly and i am sure it would have to go out to tender before the work was awarded to any company, but if you have got the work well done

[Klean07]

Its called trust mate. The HA is part of the Govenment so money isn't an issue. As most of their income will come from road tax and fines etc.

[james44]

i am sure it would have to go out to tender before the work was awarded to any company,

Yep that`s what i had to do!

surely you will be given specific roads to do on certain days and then they will have to do spot checks to see the work is carried out,

Yep and as i have said there are times when you can and can`t do them!

[paul rulton]

Klean07, good luck 4 2moro m8    im lookin in 2my area 2moro if i get time 

[Klean07]

Thanks for all the positive replies its appreciated. As for the doubters that have had their say. Your quite entitled to voice your opinion that's what the forums here for. I've been wc for 23 years so I have no reason to lie. Fact is I'm always looking at other ideas that I could put into practice using wfp because sometimes just cleaning windows gets a little boring. So isn't it a good thing to do other things from time to time?
Rant over!!
