builder clean
« on: July 24, 2013, 02:32:22 pm »
ive only ever done a builder clean once on a small bungalow and had a nigtmare.
ive been offered a care home that is still being built, they want it done every 6 weeks but the first clean will be a builders clean.
it is mainly 3 storie but does have parts that is 4 storie, 66 bed care home
i have no idea how to go about cleaning upper floors, i obviously use waterfed poles, but how do you get the windows up to scratch when they got glue and cement etc with a wfp, really want this as a regular job but dont want to mess up the first clean
any ideas or help much apreciated ???

Most of the windows flip out so you can get to most of them.

Not true in my experience. I wish it was though.

If your first experience of a builders clean was a nightmare, why are you interested in doing another one that's even bigger!!

rg1 because i will gain it as a regular job every 6 weeks and its going to be at least £200 job as a maintainance clean
if i dont do the first initial clean then very small chance i will get it as regular

i think if i give the builder clean to another company ill lose it, will have to see when its built if i can get to them from inside, if not will try get the contract before handing builder clean to another company
