Pressure Washing At Height
« on: May 21, 2007, 12:01:08 pm »
Hi all, I have just been to look at a job that is basically a side of a building which is 50/50 Brickwork/Steel Sheet.

The problem is that it is 70m in length by 8m High.

How do I go about reaching the top half?
Cherry Picker is my only thought, but I know nothing about this stuff! and the Health & Safety of this firm is VERY tight. Will I need trainig/certification etc?

Any help please ...

Hello Martin, I have been asked to give a quote for the cladding along one side of a small warehouse nearby (approx 8m high and 30m long). Would an extendable pole be any good for doing this or would i not be able to get enough pressure through to the nozzle. Have never done one before but am keen to give it a try. Is not filthy but just a bit green and grimey, would i need to use tfr or will water alone be ok?
Cheers

hi there

we hot would pressure wash and most likely from a cherry picker, using a tfr and a fungicide wash.

the argument is always get as close as you can to carry out the clean.

hi there

cheers Roger, we do a reasonable amount f this type of work.  i really enjoy it, the more diffcult the better.

some of these architect designed buildings are a nightmare to clean. and sometimes cherry picker is the nly way in.

weve done some difficult internal works as well.
