Window Cleaning Forum / Re: pressure washer issues
« Last post by Steve H on Today at 02:51:35 pm »
Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated.
I have an inline filter, so dont think its muck in the pump.
When the engine is idling (nothing in use) it ticks over fine, with the release valve open and the water circling around the pump and back to the water tank. (i dont leave it idling for long, as i was told the water could overheat and cause damage to the pump?)
I then close the release valve and it can start to judder straight away, or sometimes when im using a fsc or lance (its all working fine), i then let go of the trigger, and the machine will judder around, when i then try to open the release valve, the valve will feel stuck and under pressure like there is air in the system?
Anyway, i will have a look at some of the things mentioned, see how i get on - many thanks

What you suggest is actually what I found most comfortable, i.e. right hand on trigger, left hand palm down on top of the lance pipe, however even then it was most uncomfortable than my shorter lance. Is there any merit in using a straight lance?

Window Cleaning Forum / First commercial quote
« Last post by Russ Hawthorne on Today at 02:29:23 pm »
Hi all,

Someone approached me today to put in a price on a commercial unit. I’ve only ever done residential so I really don’t know how to price this and what other things to consider.

If anyone is willing to offer their opinion on how to price this I’d really appreciate it. It’s in Birmingham if that makes much difference.

I’ve struggled to attached photos but I’ve managed to get 2 finally uploaded.  So there’s 2 sides showing with the other 2 sides mirror images of those attached.

They want the windows, canopies and cladding cleaning. Any ideas in price would be greatly appreciated.

Many TIA
Russ 👍🏻

If the other two sides are the same with no porch I reckon an hour's work once regular. Would price at £100 first clean and £75.00 thereafter.

I don't do gutters anymore. But looks really easy.

That's cheap.

You once rang me and offered to show how to make £80 ph window cleaning, for a fee obviously.
Now I’d like to help you here but there is a fee obviously 😁

Yes - the long wet winter has increased p/w work three fold this year 😛

Rob - have you done any big work in Norwich in the last 6 weeks?

Hi, trying to price this for 12 weekly or six weekly on windows and one off gutter vac.
Is a commercial office building. Prices to inc VAT


It’s a dead easy job equivalent to 5 semis simple to price up
