Lets stick some reinforced glass in front instead of a juliet balcony. Forget getting a window cleaner, do them yourselves you lazy home owner is what they must be thinking

Thankfully I don't have any anymore

Yea, this was a one off for a good customer who asked. Think its her daughters house. Initially I thought, great a new area I'll post some flyers whilst im there. Then i saw what they looked like and thought better of it

That’s exactly what  I do, apart from one enormous house where I do the insides every 8 weeks so I trad the windows and use a internal cleaning pad vikan easyshine as best as I can on the inside balcony bit of a pain I must admit.

Lazy builder left a splat of white paint on the brickwork.

I have about 5 of these types of houses. The way I get around it is too put some pole hose on a brush head and go up a ladder and use it with my hand that way you can do all 3 sides of the glass. Works for me and I do not have to go inside anymore.

I have a set of new build townhouses where I have every customer, they all have these stupid balconies in triplicate, I have to do them on a Saturday or Sunday due to the fact I have to go inside every house to trad the balconies, it’s every 8 weeks and I get lots of tea and cake plus about £300....but I still dread the day it comes up  ;D
