For Terry Burrows
« on: March 02, 2007, 08:44:21 am »
Hi Terry,

On the fastestwindowcleaner.co.uk website, is that you in the little flash animation? I was intrigued by your technique!  Just wondering what squeegee technique you're using, as you seem to start in the middle and spiral out? Is this just because its a small blade and a big window?

That's like asking the R.A.F. if they used Messerschmitt 109's! ;D
It's a game of three halves!

I am very much Interested in other projects rather than wfp we have no interest in them at present,I would not buy one we have no use for them in our world ;D
would not want the hassle pulling all that hose out,just to clean a window,simply not for us,still theres always some one that likes them :-\ includeing the spots them provide ;D ::) :-X

TERRY ru in bed with general LEE NFWC , HE DIDNT LIKE MY COMMENT AT THE EXCEL CENTRE .may be he will get the same reply at Nec .
I thought we had it sorted this wfp v trad , wfp doesnt give the windows spots only an undertrained opperator gives it spots ,what about lines in trad methods soap marks and runs from top of frames seen them on many a commercial building done trad .
  A clear lack of knowledge or downright scanking the customer in both ways of cleaning.
 Im quite confident that wfp used by myself on commercial and domestic doesnt leave dots or runs as with my trad method none is better than the other, used by a compident w/c just that one is safer than the other.

fair comment Terry I wouldnt like to be known that I had something to do with
general Lee a lot of my customers heard his remarks and hes never apoliguised to anyone for his outlandish comments.
 Everyone can hold an oponion but to vent an opion on the basis that is hearsay is criminal cus he doesnt or didnt have a clue what he was saying ,so it must have been hearsay.

i agree with terry the fed have always been helpfull with me ,once half way through a 3 year contract we where stopped from using ladders by the on site H and S officer who was under the impression ladders where banned even though we are a long established firm our arguments fell on deaf ears after we spoke to mr lee he spoke to the safety officer and put him right on what the law says, we was able to finish the site that year from ladders.
   The job is only done once a year but is a very large site Mr lee was honest in telling the safety officer that WFP was safer but due to the large intervals between cleans plus the poor condition of frames on some blocks the results could be sub standard.
  The following year we did use WFP some of the blocks where fine others i can only describe as appalling but at least the H and S safety officer hadnt been mislead into thinking that WFP was some sort of magic wand and will probably accept our oppinion when we use ladders in certain areas .
  I for one even though i use WFP am in total agreement with mr lee in that a lot of windows are better done traditional.

"mr lee was Honest" you have just lost the argument with that statement.

Mr Lee proved on National Television that he hasn't a clue about wfp cleaning.

williamx i am not getting into an argument but there are certain things WFP_ wont move ie paint after painters cement and silicone for a builders clean and it does struggle on baked on egg and odd pieces of bird muck and this is what mr lee was stateing he was honest in saying that often the ladder is best for some jobs and you are kidding yourself and your customers if you believe any different
