hi yes by far in most situations. sometimes it is quicker just blade it ;D
-
speed generates with time ,same as starting again
-

Depends how fast you are with a squeegee.
In my case no, wfp isn't quicker.....unless it's georgian windows. :-\

Hi Rog,
How the Billy Shears are you old boy?

WFp is quicker to clean on most but not all jobs.But if your going to invest in wfp equipment you wont need to squeege as you wont have many small jobs to do just the big ones.I dont do any squeegee work only insides and no ladder work at all
-
It's faster for me , from 5 days to 2.5 ;D ;D
Squeaky,
You must hold the Guiness Book Of Records for going up and down a ladder
then ;)

How are you on Elizabethan?
Let's face it, Victorian and Edwardian can be a challenge.
What would the Victorians have done?

Yeah, but I've raced plenty of them and haven't lost yet. ;)
Don't need to try it. I couldn't do it faster than them, there's only so quick you can wfp properly.

Hey Rog,
I had a customer yesterday, just got back from 2 weeks in Oman, middle east!
Brown as a conker! She opens the door, says to me, " Do it the old way, will you?"
So I proceeded to do it trad,,,,,,,
This one was exactly the same in time!
Hey, I enjoyed doing it!
Same money.
;)

WFP faster by miles. Squeaky, Are you getting paid to to be the devils advocate. we'd have nobody to argue with if you weren't around.

I'm sure Terry "turbo" Burrows would back me up. ;)
You're just slow squeegee'ers (if that's how you spell it!)

WFP is definitely quicker on the cleaning but slower unloading,setting up then having to pack it up and get it all loaded again afterwards.
This is one of the reasons why you will probably look to change the type of customers you are serving once you get up to speed with WFP.
If you are using a van mounted system you have to be able to park outside. This would eliminate a lot of customers round here straight away. Also a lot of time gets wasted driving round trying to park.
So it horses for courses, with the right customers you can make more money in less time.

I've been using wfp for 6weeks now and I have found that on houses with wooden framed windows I am as quick as Trad, but with pvc framed windows it takes a bit longer, but i guess that is because its the 1st time with wfp and the frames were pretty dirty.
With commercial work I've found it a lot quicker. I did one block of offices last week, used to take me 3-3.5 hrs to do the outsides, took me just under 2hrs with wfp.
I find unloading and loading up about as long as lugging the ladders on and off the roof rack.

well wfp would be no good for me as ive a lot of garages to climb over and gates locked.

Thats exactly the sort of thing I mean, its horses for courses.
-
I would imagine if and when i turn WFP i will probably double my speed once i've got the hang of it. Quite slow trad cleaning but i do clean everything

I've quite a few streets like that, so I use the WFP to clean the easy access areas, then return to use ladders.
It still works out easier, safer and less effort involved.
