Been cleaning off a ladder for 15 years. How much water do I need for 30 standard, 2 storey, Victorian bay fronted houses every day? How much will a system cost? and how long does it take to used to the 'new technology'??

30 a day ? superman huh

[Tim Morton]

Are they detached/semi-detached/terraced? I get the equivilent of 7Hrs of trad window cleaning out of 350 Litres, about 17 large detached 2 story houses with bay windows.

How much will a system cost?

Anything from 500ish for basic diy setup to £3-5+k

how long does it take to used to the 'new technology'??

I've been wfp-ing for 8-9weeks and i've learnt a huge amount, but i still have much to learn. Like trad, you seem to continue to learn more about technique and also better ways to clean a particular house. I dont think you will get to a point of knowing it all.

You got it Tim ive been wfp for three years and am still learning something new every day
And still cant work out how to do 30 a day?

[scrimit2]

just a curiousity question, how much does 350 litres of water cost a day on your water bill?
I'm still traditional but Im becoming interested in wfp

ps I did 34 council style houses the other day, I knew about it the next day, and I wouldnt want to do that many in a day very often! ouch lol

A standard semi with 10-12 windows will use approx 15l of water, but the bigger the tank you have, the less you are bothered about how much water you use.

Cost wise I guess that if you are on a meter then it will add a £1.00 a day to your water bill, though that will vary depending on what your water company charges.

If you put in a couple of weekends of practice, on your own home and friends and relatives then you should be able to develop a reasonable technique.
Better still attend one of the day long courses that are on offer.
You will still be pretty green for a few weeks, but your understanding of the techniques, of the problems that will arise and the solutions to them will be in place.

But 30 houses a day?
Thats 5 an hour done continuously over an 8 hour day, that is one hell of a work rate.
