Traditional v WFP cannot not be compared  because there's no comparison I had this conversation with a tradder yesterday he was almost trying to convince himself it's quicker to climb ladders alday everyday all week the fool,bungalows maybe on occasions but that's about it unless there dolls houses.I don't ever bother to put up an argument with some I see from time to time now I just give em a toot on my way home 3 hours before them lol

It almost looks medieval when I see a hoodie-clad window cleaner with a set of ladders and a bucket.

I nearly feel sorry for them.

Don't they know there's an easier, safer, quicker way?

It's defo not easier tosh, I use both and trad is simple and easy, wfp is brilliant but can be annoying and slow, trad is really simple. If wfp was the best way, then I'd happily pack the ladders away and be fine with it, but as I said, I still find trad quicker and better for some (key word here is some) houses.

Being only wfp in my opinion is lazy and stupid, it's an invaluable skill knowing how to trad, inside house windows etc...

thats nothing to do with them thsts because your a lazy c#£% haha ;) hummer your a sad person, i bet you where bullied at school and have a small thingy so cant satisfy your wife so you come on here to try act the big man. your probably not even a window cleaner i bet your a sad old post office assistant, the sort of guy who ends up being a serial killer for a bit of attenntion. im not entertaing your half witted attempt at humor or feeble attempts to make yourself look better than other people,  we should meet up some time, no in all seriousness its been a while since iv wobbled anyones head about for being a complete nonce

all in good fun admin i mean literally hold his head and wobble it no threats here

Another thing brought back memories  this week seeing a couple of guys working trad due to it being bitterly cold,even with the so called window cleaning gloves which are more suited to WFP anyway it's like Chinese torture working by hand in temperatures like that.The guy I spoke to said I like to give my customers value for money not fly round and pick up money for nothing lol,I must admit I was lost for words when I heard the fool say that lol

No one has said that being able to trad isn't a useful tool to have...but I know of
plenty who make a decent living wfp only.

Personally I don't do any inside cleaning I find it slows my day down to much and i
make a better hourly rate from con and fascia cleaning.

Sounds to me by the above that you haven't as yet got to grips properly
yet with wfp...it is worth putting some more time in to gain real confidence because
on a day to day basis GENERALLY speaking it is quicker safer less physically tiring

Im not saying you are doing anything wrong...just that long term wfp is thsafer
easier option and its very rare going by this forum that a windie goes back to trad
as his main tool of the day after they have fully committed to this method.

But if you are happy as you are fair enough...but please stop checking yourself
in windows...not only is it vomit inducing ;D...but it is dangerous not fully
paying attention to what you are doing :)

Hey don't say that..there will be peals of uncontrollable laughter
from every corner. ;D

To be fair to most on here, they have been through many of these
posts before over the years and probably have gone beyond repeating
it again. :)

Today I spent some time up a ladder clearing out some guttering - the longest I've spent on a ladder for a few years.  I wasn't comfortable with it as I've grown unused to it.  I "footed" it with the van as the angle wasn't the best and the bit at one end I pushed the ladder well into the lawn.
I won't be doing it again.
