Hi
Thought I would upload a few pics of a job we cleaned in Crawley - West Sussex - Yesterday and Today.

Cladding and window cleaning, not been cleaned for two years!

Nice job Rhino!
Was the cladding cleaned WFP or pressure washed?

How much roughly does it cost to hire a vehicle like that for a couple of days?  Does it come with an operator? Do you still need to have training & qualifications etc?

Hi Dave

We used WFP + chemicals - parts done by hand method.

The machine was a 70 metre and costs about a grand a day to hire :o
Good job we had it though as it made the job very easy.

Comes with an operator.

You can use it without training although I only let staff get in to any access machine - with or without operator - IF they have IPAF training that is up to date.

I took my PAL license just today, cacked myself going up in a small version of one of those machines. I was wondering what I was doing up there when I could have been cleaning some windows with both feet on the ground  ::)
