Title: Glass/Nursery house cleaning
Post by: Alan McTernan on September 23, 2010, 06:08:24 pm
Hi Guys,

Cleaned the driveway of a Nursery manager and she asked me if i would be interested in cleaning the outside of there very big glass house! Just wondering how the hell you clean the roof as she said the last guys the owner used had a special machine ???

Any help would be great ;)

Cheers
Alan

I would use a power washer on a low setting and finish with wfp if needed..

Wfp with a pre spray of chemical should do the trick

Thanks for the reply guys!

But have you seen a commercial Glass House?(the type that grow the flowers for B&Q) the issue is how to get to the roof!!!

Cheers

We do the house and office of a massive nurseries.
The father asked me about us doing the job, the son said how important the extra light meant to growth, hence money.

However, I talked with the father and recommended he get a commercial supply of pure water and explore things like the robot that cleans the pyramid in the Louvre in Paris.

We prefer domestics, lots of different people to talk to and no waiting for money or big bad debts.

Alan, seriously access equipment might be the answer I have a mate who has a 100 metre access machine, it can reach up, accross from a long way off.

Thats why i thought there may be a super duper machine to do the job(and this is a small one)

Darren there are flower/plant beds round 3 sides of the building so access equipment is a no no!!

Hi Mate,

The machine I am talking about has a 35 metres reach and goes up very high, take a look at this http://www.bladeaccess.co.uk/gallery.php#
These are the guys who bought my old business, they have some serious pieces of kit
