Hi chaps, i'm in need of some advice. There is a block of flats where a lot of the windows are cleaned by the council but not all residents. I am cleaning the windows tomorrow of some of these residents.
I want to clean them wfp but its a 2 storey flat. The problem is the water dropping down form the windows im cleaning onto the people below, who i'm not cleaning.
Is this avoidable? Should i just do it anyway, or should i do it off ladders? Its not very high and its on grass so pretty safe, but I would obviously much rather do it wfp

Just pole them mate if any one moans
Tell the its the same as rain. And give them a price
Even before they ask. I find this can make people
Who moan go away!

ditto, I do 13 flats at an old peoples complex, the ones below I tell them it's just natural water were using, no complaints so far..!

What arrangement do the council have with cleaning windows of the residents ?
-
cheers for the advice. Basically the council come and clean the communal windows and any of the residents who are renting off the council i think. but the people who actually own flats in the block dont get their windows cleaned by the council.

most times i find that is our water that bounces of there sill and gets on the bottom of there window so i rinse off the first 8 inches with the brush off the glass ,and find it keeps them happy
-
What happens when the council clean there tenants? Do the others complain, and does the council clean all the others as well.?No!!
-
I doubt the council clean communal or tenants windows it would be a contractor.
If you do upstairs and not the ones under just quickly squeegee the water off after just to keep them downstairs happy , you would probably end up with them as customers.

I had a moaner the other day. Was cleaning the flat above and she said she was calling the council because i was water logging her window sill.
Shut her up by asking "what happens when it rains then?" Silly wench.
Peace

I do a lot of these type of cleans, and to stop the comments from the flat owner below, is I place a cloth on the bottom window sill, this catches the water and stops the splash backs onto the glass
-
i just rinse the windows below but if you get a moaner, they would moan whatever you do
