Title: Window stickers
Post by: Matt Birk on April 24, 2013, 06:57:00 pm
Hi,
Just wanted to ask what techniques you use for removing the new build window stickers from windows on the third floor with a pole?
Thanks

Firstly make sure you charge a lot - it will be a pig of a job and the installers should have removed the stickers.

Then I guess the only practical way is to soak with a strong detergent solution and scrape with a scraper attached to the top of the pole.

With a pole I'd follow Ian suggestions, personally I wouldn't touch them unless a cherry picker had been factored into the price!

wouldnt attempt them with pole as dont think it will be good enough for the builder, if its a current customer on a single domestic i would offer to try the  pole / scraper without guaranteeing success, if its for the buillder then use there cherry picker or hire one in and add it to your bill, thye may have a forklift with a man safe on that you could be taken up in

If its a builders clean price it and then double it. Get a cherry picker in.
