Its only half of unit 2.
The customer has told me to go ahead with the job when I can, as doesnt want a quote as they trust me, as also clean their house windows.
One man, im thinking it will take 6-7 hours?
Any ideas on the removal of that quality graffiti would be apprecated aswell

I would always agree a price just in case the client thinks it will only take a few hours and get a suprise when he is billed for as long as it takes! No hard feeling then!

What would you charge?
-
Yep, never carry out a job until you have agreed a price!

Should have tried a section see if it came off easy or hard and how long it took then estimate from there.
Just a thought

WFP.
I have a another one lined up, so this one is my tester :D
-
fair play to you, but if my experiences with garage doors is owt to go i think your looking at a bit more than 6-7 hrs,, days mebbe , hope you crack it though
-
You need to TFR that first as well. Unless you have hot in which case use both.
If its only half of unit 2 showing Id be thinking along the lines of nothing less than 3 man days. .

Never trust anyone that says "go ahead without a price...i trust you"! ;)

Yeah, the clean half of unit 2 had been cleaned by someone else the other day.
Where is best for 'TFR'? What is it?
So you reckon it would roughly 24 hours?

This is a customer who ive dealt with for years. I shall charge a fair price, and they know Im not one to 'rip off'

I reckon there's 3 days in that WFP - - if you can get away with softwashing the majority you might get it done in one day,...

Softwashing uses a pressure washer attachment to spray cleaning solution quickly over large areas - - use the right chem & you don't need to scrub at all, just spray on, leave to work for 20 mins & rinse off. TFR works on some jobs, but I mostly use sodium hypochlorite (Bleach basically) which dissolves that green algae very quickly.
WFP I'd charge min €200 a day - - I'd most likely go in at €700 & hope to be done in 2.5 days.
If I could softwash it in 1 day I'd charge €450 (I'd spend about €150 on chems & petrol)

when i said more than the hours u stated i was under the impression it was unit 1 plus half of unit 2.
i have done a few of these without chems .that is if u have a outside tap . --------------------------------------
u then need connectors .hose reel n connect it to your wfp .the pressure from the tap water going through your wfp should be enough to do the clean .make sure u have a stiff brush on pole .
if u use chems on it first to loosen gunge up .it will make it easier .for u .but like i said tap water pessure n a bit of elbow grease should b enough .let us know how u get on .
