i teamed up with a mate from new milton (chriss) and we took on this big new hospital in new milton.

what you see here is only a part of the clean, the building has 4 sides (very large stairwells) and 6 court yards.

it took 4 of us 2 days using wfp, if it were to be done trad it would have been a nightmare to do as there were h&s inspectors on site.

i dread to think how long it would have taken trad but i would say at least a week and a half using ladders and cherry pickers.

so horray for WFP

Looks a nice job that Jay, as you well no that being wfp it opens up so many new avenues of work such as jobs like this one where if you were traditional only you wouldnt have even took it on!!

Onwards and upwards mate good luck to you all at Grafters.

nice one jay,

it looks a good job

Yes, we were there with Jay. Builders clean.
107 rooms, 3 lift towers 60 feet glass clad, inner courtyards with loads of windows using 40 ft pole.
Two days, four men, job done.

Site agent, project manager and surveyor all said what a cracking job and signed it off for payment.

Bit of an exceptional job I know but it proves what is possible with WFP.

BTW I used my converted carbon fishing pole (24ft) on a lot of the work - what a godsend after using a 38 ft glass fibre pole most of the time!

WFP is great. How on earth do you price a job like that tho??? I wouldnt know where to start. Do you just questimate it? And when workin at that height do you rinse with the brush on?

hi dave
i have to give credit where it's due, the pricing was down to chris, being a local lad he did all the leg work and i did all the polework (only joking chris)

as for the rinsing, i leave the brush on glass until i get to a more manageable height when i can lift the brush from the glass

Nice one jay,

[s.hughes]

hi marcus,
lets hope so, chris and i both thought they were a bit premature with the clean as it's not being handed over until jan 2008 and there is still building work going on so you can imagine the dust on the windows within the next few weeks.

we can see ourselves back there sooner than we expected.

the glass was missing on the shed for some reason, had it been in place i think i would have got carried away and cleaned it

This would of been a good article for the PWC Mag. How you got the job , how you priced it , what problems you came across, how much water you used .

[billozz]

great job guys, did you not have any probs with compo or sticky labels on the windows as we have in the past when doing builders cleans
