You need experience using a pole at that height even on a still day with no wind.

Rope access.
No viable points on the roof to tie off,

Use a deadweight trolley or A-frame anchor.




If he’s asking how to do the job and doesn’t know how to price it he certainly isn’t going to be rope access  qualified , it’s an easy job from the ground for an experienced  Wfp Guy , why on earth would you want to absail that ?. We are rope access qualified but wouldn’t Evan consider doing that building that way , the risk assessment  would never stack up for doing it that way . Wfp every time on that type of building .

I'm only making assumptions so I apologise in advance. 15 regular clients and new to this ?. I'd reckon on you needing a 60 ft pole that you probably haven't got  ( to be fair most of us don't ). They're not cheap. Doubtful you'd have many other jobs you'd need it for. Even at the prices experienced willy wavers are quoting for this, you'd have to clean it several times to even break even and pay for the pole. In the current economic climate and pandemic , I'd only consider it if I already had the kit to reach it. Sorry, but I think it's a non starter. So many easier residential jobs out there to clean without having to invest in a pole for such a height.

The funny thing is, IMO, because you rattle on about hot as often as you do I can't take you seriously.

He could get a couple of additional sections to his existing pole or even better, borrow a longer pole from another cleaner.
£400 every two months for me.

I very much doubt he has a pole that would be suitable for 6 storey work, at that height it’s not just a case of adding a couple of sections to an slx , you need specialist poles .

A couple of sections🙈 you would need a 60’ pole for that building. If I had spent 2 grand on a pole I don’t think I would be loaning it out.......especially to someone who has just started window cleaning.

Working at six storey is not for those who are not use to working at height. I regularly do 5 and 4 storey work repeatedly and wouldn't want to be doing it as a newbie with no experience other than domestic houses.  Higher the pole in the wind the more it bends and can be taken in gusty winds, not recommended for those not use to working against the weather elements.

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

That wasn’t the idea, the idea was to sub it to an IRATA qualified abseiler, who will probably already have the deadweight trolley.
That’s an even better idea....let’s get a newbie with 15 customers subbying work out to specialist companies😆

to the OP....your well out of your depth with this job mate.....your gonna need a 60ft pole.......with very little experience of WFP......i decent pole to clean this job would be an xtreme.....the best would be an ultimate pole which would be preferable but costs a shedload of money which you can ill afford when starting out....its just not worth it
price higher/work harder!
