Oops, I meant I'll be continuing as I am!
Someone had to pick me up on that one. ;D

LOL ;D
Listen guys and gals.... Ole Squeaky AINT gonna change... period!!!!
( Even though WFP is GREAT for domestics and in most cases far faster than trad.. even at Squeaky's pace)
I honestly believed him when he said he could well give up window cleaning if ladders are completely banned.. its his choice to which he is perfectly entitled.
Even though I sell WFP equipment I still like to get out the good old squeegee. There is a certain satisfaction that you get from using it and it does put some variety into the day.
I must just be an old romantic :)

I do a bit of trad too at times and it's nice to break the monotony. I had a job today where the frames leak badly and are seriously oxidized. It became clear early on that WFP wasn't the tool for that job.

hey derek what makes u think u have got to use bags of sand u only need a ladder stop when using ladders to clean windows. your talking a load of rubbish
-
I'm not sure how long it will take, but I think that sometime in the quite near future, ladders really will be used only for access.
Working off them will be a no no unless there is no other practical way of doing any particular job.
But traditional window cleaning will always be there and will always be needed.
There is not a day goes by [or rarely] that I don't have to use trad methods, the only thing I don't use is a ladder to actually work off.

even if a complete ban doesn't come in, will the insurance company's refuse to insure us, after all its them who started the ball rolling for a ladder ban? don't know the answer myself so your comments would be most welcome
