i am interested to know how many window cleaners (uk only please) are on this site and if you are trad or wfp.
I have a project in the pipe line for next year and the year after that needs some research (sorry cant say yet but will in time) so please vote.
-
I am both lee, whatever is needed
-
both fella ;)
-
keep voting guys, my new project will benefit other window cleaners! but the research has to be done first and will take at least a year.
-
I'm both, Wfp no good indoors.
-
80% wfp/20% trad.
-
Im wfp only :)
-
can't vote there is no both button

dats u out den lol ;D ;D

The health and safety link put up the other day, where one bryan dolby is case studied mentioned in passing that the fed has 2,500 members.
They get about £100 a pop and top them up with loads of expensive courses and insurances etc.
If this is what you had in mind count me in.
-
I really can't understand why anyone could vote, you are either a window cleaner or not, what method is another matter, if you clean 100% wfp fair play but you still need to do insides, a window cleaner can work from a cradle/cherry picker/ wfp/trad/ scaffold/ and what I can't do abseil, so to me you cant't vote either way and it is a silly question
-
We do both.
-
I think a little more thought needs to go into this, I would like to help but you present us with an impossible poll question.
I use wfp, trad, dragonfly, scrim, pure + microfibe. (even been know to use the sleeve of my shirt) ;)
You ask how many window cleaners, ok I wil start...... ONE.
-
TWO
-
I don't think hes asking how many have a WFP and use trad as well ::) Most WFP will have trad tools as there are so many jobs that suit it, I bet there are only a hand full of window cleaners that are 100% WFP
What he is asking is how many window cleaners are 100% TRAD
Well I think thats what he is asking ;D

-
95% wfp, the other % whatever it takes to clean.

-
Could also have a 'Raggit and run' option. There are a few like that round here. Both here ie Trad and wfp.
-
I'm a tradder 'cos i work with a ladder and i sometimes say oh xxxx it 'cos i dropped my bucket...
-
Well, there you have it folks.
A balanced and unbiased survey of the window cleaners of The United Kingdom. Some do it this way and some do it that way.
380 odd views, 26 replies and 60 odd votes. That covers oh, probably about 0.1% of the population of this country that rag windows for a living.

Trad here.
So what was the point?
Compiling statistics of the various methods that window cleaners clean glass in the UK?
-
Wfp
Except:-
Doors in icy conditions - doors with very small areas of glass set in wood - doors that will leak.
Nearly all insides. (I actually do some offices in a warehouse wfp where the windows face the warehouse behind some racking and the water drains to a channel to a drain just below the windows.)

I wouldn't put it that high stan out of every 100 window cleaners in my area I reckon only 5 or 6 are wfp ;)
but I still have no idea what this post is about and the point of it, so I can't vote
-
And?
its a poll on a forum.there is no "and" until the poll is closed.when the poll is closed then you see the results.same as any other poll.no rocket science involved. ;)

but there is no question to answer, the heading how many window cleaners on here, well I hope we all are. then the options are wfp or trad, it does not make sense. and is pointless unless we know what the question is

And? is....whats the point of having a poll on here? It represents nothing.
Like Stu-Mac said, theres no sense to it.
No doubt Lee Pryor will come on here and tell us something along the lines of 'as a result of this poll of all us bleary-eyed window-cleaners he has now devised a cure for cancer'.
Its so important this poll he hasnt been on for 2 days. It reminds me of the post Turbo Terry put up about a year ago of some 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to do 'something' we never heard another peep from the poor fellow.

nah mate.all my work is council houses.most have one climb at front and one at back.fella on same work as me uses wfp and must take him at least three times longer to do.and he dont get three times my price.
-
haha im so pleased my little poll has gone down so well.
sorry i havnt been back on, I was on a stag do it portugal and just got back.
Having read through each reply I can understand the confusion.
I am trying to get an idear of how many window cleaners there are on here and around the country, I also want to know about the split between wfp and trad, of course alot do both (me too) but really just by having wfp i would vote wfp, im sorry i didnt make that clearer.
I could of course give the whole game away, but where would be the fun in that, I have a project in the pipe line that will benefit other window cleaners around the country. trust me you will all love it.
