Hi guys I'm looking at attaining some quotes for the building below as I'm new to buildings this large and don't have a clue as to the cost, are there WFP's that would reach this high' anyone currently do similar jobs. be a huge help to me as I would really love to win this work, I've not long started on my own and currently only have 15 clients, not a lot aI know, But its only the start of things to come hopefully

Rope access.

The top balcony would put me off.

If I was gonna do it though I’d be thinking ‘how many houses at x amount can i clean in that time?’ and then add some on for it being a ballache.

[Slacky]

£250 - £300.

Assuming its regular.

Its half a days work. But Daz would do it in 45 minutes.

What Simon said ^^? How many houses can you see. You’ll need a very long pole. The higher up the building the harder and slower the cleaning will be so factor that into the price too.

This alone would put me off as a newbie.

I have a 40' and I doubt I could reach the top floor with it. I would check out it my pole would reach the top windows before I quoted. If it didn't or I had to buy a pole especially for the job I would decline it.

Quote, get the job and then they cancel after a couple of cleans. He will now have a 50' pole he will hardly every use.

Using an old SLX40  at full reach is hard enough. I would hate to consider another 10' as a first timer with no experience of using a pole at that height..

[zesty]

£350-400 depending on frequency.

Easy job with the correct length water fed pole.

Hope you get it 👍🏼

I’d only personally take it on if I had the equipment to reach. (Don’t go buying a shiny new pole just for this job only)

I’d put a full days money on it, not because it would take a full day, but because I wouldn’t be starting any jobs after I’d finished it.

This sort of building is best left to an experienced window cleaner, not one for a newbie I’m afraid.

[NWH]

Easy job as Slacky said with the correct pole and extreme brush the top ones would be fine I’d go along the ones with the railing first with the brush turned upright and then clean the tops of those panes and rinse down from there,350-400 for me I’d say you could do that with breaks in less than a morning quiet comfortably.

Rope access.

No viable points on the roof to tie off,

[NWH]

You don’t need rope access for that you can do it all from the ground the lost most you’d need would be a longer gooseneck depending on how deep the glass is away from those top bars,it’s only 50 odd foot easy enough job I reckon there’s nothing in the way of 99% of those windows.

Every time you go there the clean those windows behind the grills will be open.

^^^^ This from the same person that has previously said that it takes a year to learn how to wfp properly, yet here he is saying it’s an easy job for a newbie, despite the job probably requiring a 60’pole😲🤣
You couldn’t make it up😁

If you do decide to put in a quote you might want to factor in that a decent pole to reach that height will set you back in the region of £1500-2000

Use a deadweight trolley or A-frame anchor.

[Gringo]

Good idea let's get the Newby window cleaner with hardly any customers and experience to tie himself to roof and abseil down, insanity

[NWH]

Sorry completely didn’t realise he was a newbie I didn’t read that bit,so much rubbish on here usually I don’t bother reading all the posts.
If a newbie did that he could end up making them look worse when he’s cleaned them,I would get someone to do it with you or for you that had the appropriate pole get him to do the top 3 floors pay him for that and do the rest yourself.
Sub it out to most people they’ll nick it off you do the lower levels and make sure you’re there when it’s cleaned.

That wasn’t the idea, the idea was to sub it to an IRATA qualified abseiler, who will probably already have the deadweight trolley.
