Window Cleaning Forum / Re: I just did not want this one!
« Last post by Bungle on Yesterday at 11:19:49 pm »Clean a lovely Cotswold retirement village. All is well, newly built when i started 5 years ago. Lovley pvc windows and beautiful stone sills. 5 years on and the sills are as the picture shows, a car crash. Moss, mould, black spot, lichen etc etc. its 3 stories high and they have asked if i can clean the sills. Don’t want to say no as I don’t want to say no. Just been on FWC ISOH health and safety course as a necessity to comply and come off safe contractor scheme. This has slowed my recklessness down. Anyone been asked to complete a similar stone sill job. Thinking, hypo, jet wash, biocide, but any experience of such a sill clean will be appreciated
Difficult one. You've cleaned the sills. The stone looks manky. But who washes stone down when cleaning windows? Where does it stop?

We doff them - perfect results

I'm not sure why it matters. It's only window cleaning it would be worrying if you had franchisees that couldn't be self sufficient and need their hand holding. What is it that would need you in person ?
If the shoe was on the other foot you’d think the ‘boss’ was taking the piss.

Not sure how he got on but to me he always came across as a bit of a w anker
I think Vin is the example, he seems to support his franchises and runs a very successful model. Although I would imagine he would tip his hat to Ian Lancaster.
He’s in the Philippines
