Hi all
I wonder if someone can help me? I have just been asked to quote for cleaning the brickwork on the side of a building in Mayfair, London. To be honest i have never cleaned a building at height before so have no clue how to price and am not sure what chemicals and method to use. The contractor is supplying the scaffold and expenses etc, and even offered me a labourer so it looks like a good earner. My problem is
1/ how do I price something if I can't physically measure it? I do not have an infrared tape measure so that's a no go
2/ what is the best and most reliable brickwork cleaning product on the market?
Apart from rinsing down, I think I'm gonna have use the good old fashioned scrubbing method for most of the clean because of the many windows
Any suggestions on pricing, method of clean and chemicals would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Clive

Short answer - get an experienced contractor in.
If you can not afford tape measure on a 10k job then there is no hope
I doubt any1 can reliably answer your query - far too many factors like type of surface, age, condition - what you want cleaned off, dirt, carbonization, paint, lime wash the list goes on....
