UPVC Cladding Quote Help - Please.
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:52:44 pm »
Could you please give me an idea what I should be charging to clean all the UPVC Cladding?

I'm starting to pick up more of this work, and in the past have have always had a problem getting the right ( in my favour) price.








Thanks  :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I'd give that all a good dose of  this



with a pole and nozzle fed via a garden pressurised sprayer.

Then pole it off.

Allow a day.

£250-300.

Get a facia brush as well. They are a lot stiffer and it takes less scrubbing on green bits etc.

With hot water you would be surprised how quickly you`d get this done,the bit over the roof would be easy with an SL2 and is the pole i would use to do all of it.

That looks a very quick job with a light pole. I might be way off but i reckon i'd look at that as 3 hours hard work and would have quoted around £120 - £140.
And if it was simply algae on there i would hope for nearer 2 hours.

I would use a trolley and tfr or something for this. If you do alot of this work it would be worth spending £80 or whatever on a backpack and pump the mix up a pole 1st. Or put a T piece and shut off valves between pump and water tank and run the spare hose into a barrel of tfr mix.
And then connect the pole to the garden tap and rinse off.
I use a pump crop sprayer for conservatory roofs and lower and i would be interested to see how they would pump up that height. Cos mine has a maximum of around 12 feet. Horizontally.
