It's a bit of an 'how long is a piece of string' thread
One pole could be quicker on one house and another next door. The same with ladders. You wouldn't pole one house; trad next door; pole the front of the next and trad the back etc.
Eventually we choose the tools and methods that suit us the best for most of the time
But because it suits us, it doesn't make it any better or any worse than what others do.

Speed, safety, finish etc.......well, that's another thread  .

Hey fellow window cleaners, new to the forum. And must say theres some interesting topics going on. Finding it very useful! Been reading threw the 16 pages og this particular topic and strongly disagree with hummer and window licker about there views on the only way is pole system.  I've been window cleaning for 10 years now have a wfp system for some office cleans and windows above conservatorys etc. But got to say there's nothing like getting on a ladder and getting close up to the window and cleaning it OLD SCHOOL.. and I actually find the ladders quicker on alot of jobs because majority of my work are regularly cleans so piece of p to whip round it all. There's to guys on here jakey and joeyeastwood. They've got the right idea. If you're old fat and cant get up a ladder then fair play. I detect abit of jealousy from hummer and window licker!!!@

Hmmmmm

Mayb TOSH can do some detective work on this one.........

Blimey gents!!!
Its getting a bit personsal now isn't it?!?

We all lick glass for a living, does it matter what the preferred method is??

I dont get why everyone is trying to ram trad/wfp down peoples throats for, its a forum, are you really that bothered what people you dont know are doing?!

[cgh window cleaning]

Different tools are needed for different jobs.

I do a lot of commercial so I trad every day.I have also been cleaning window for a very long time so am not scarred of adverse to ladders.

But the fact is this ,it dosn't matter how fast trad is compared to wfp,wfp pole is safer that is a fact and that far out weighs any speed or cost issue.

I have also gained a lot more better and higher priced work from being wfp than I ever did trad.

The new gay guy is you.

  Poor ickle jakeys got no friends so he has to make them up and then talk to himself!

Prove it bummer boy?

Your the one with no friends mate, it's clear as day.

You'd love to see my face? Just confirming further your gayness  

Yep, I'd love to see your ugly face after you find out that the new guy is indeed a new guy,

You'll never be able to have a good looking man my friend, now stop flirting with me a joey, go back to your boyfriend,

Just to clarify you and window licker are trying to use 'gay' comments all because im such an amazingly good looking lad? Lmao. You reek of jealousy  

You'll just never be me bummer boy, so stop venting anger at me because if your jealousy.

Just done a new commercial job today. Tilt and turn windows.

WFP took an hour todo front and back.

Sides were done in 30 mins AND both sides cleaned lol.

Slightly more glass on sides as well.

i would say it was safer to tilt and turn instead of WFP. As fronts means standing in a road!

There are exceptions and you defiantly don't want to be standing in the road with your pole that's why a lot of work over 3rd floor will get cleaned by absailing or other methods especially in London where busy roads are present.
