Post by: drive surgeon on October 17, 2007, 06:21:15 pm

hi, anyone done any petrol station cleans? just the floor not the canopy?  ie; blockpaving or tarmac or concrete?   how do you go about doing it , what chemicals?, average charge etc? many thanks,  do you have to just go into any branch and canvass or do you need to phone the compant itself? ie: texaco? ???

looked into this last year. the health and safety implications are a nightmare. best left alone unless you are very experienced/ determined

1/ you will need to up your insurance.
2/ petrol stations have haz management conditions to comply with, they normally insist that all sites are sealed with top notch sealer, this is part of the haz regime,
3/ you will probably find that haz management says that you cannot run pumps etc unless designed for use on this type of site, therefore you will need to be able to hose up to work from a non haz distance.
4/ if it proves that you have to seal, look at the problems
a/ you wash, it has to dry before you can sand, how will you keep the area clean till it drys, for sanding.
b/ same again for sealing.
 5/ you will probably find that you cannot work on your own on a site like this out of hours due to hse/ haz regs

This is the advice i was given by one of the guys on another forum. most people said somewhat similar

my brother works for a well known supermarket.
i asked him to pass on my details for this kind of work.
the response was they will not touch me unless i'm a national comapany and have public liability insurance for 10million .

Oil technics do a few products that might help, but sounds like to much hassle to me!
