Hi

We are a limited company and need someone in the East Sussex area who can pressure wash 200+ caravans in February.

We are looking to pay £10 (negotiable) per caravan.

Any well-established reputable takers?!

may i ask do you apply anything onto the caravans to prevent the return of the green algee that alot of caravans attract?

In answer to your question, no.

In the past we have used a specialist chemical for boats and caravans from our supplier. It was more to give it a sparkle as opposed to algae prevention.

Hello, do you have any photos of the caravans, I don't think you could make a decent job of each caravan for a tenner but I may be wrong

No photos, but they're statics.

With regard to doing a good job for a tenner...I suppose it depends on how conscientious you are, how badly you need the work and whether or not you want to build a good relationship with the client ie. us. Thus securing more work for the future. ;)

What are you trying to achieve with the pressure washing? Is it algae removal and general clean or is it ground in discolouration/weathering type cleaning your after? Do you know pressure washing will give you the results your after?

Why not post your email so people can contact you directly

i was told not to use a pressure washer on a caravan as it can cause damage

I know that around windows and the roof area can be dodgy. I am not au fait with pressure washing, but have watched it being done before with low pressure and care taken! This is why we need someone with a certain modicum of expertise.

Contact us in the first instance on:

 jobs@quadrafm.co.uk and make reference to this forum in the subject. We'll contact people directly over the next few days, things are hectic at the moment.

I was going to go on and say that pressure washing may not get the best results, you could better use WFP for better results and less likelyhood of damage - but as you point out I am not desperate for the work - I am however consciencious and keen on doing a very good job.

Really appreciate all your comments! We need to box things off in the next couple of weeks to make a start February.

Historically they have been pressure washed but we understand all your concerns and take on board your advice.

If anyone is interested and they want to email us, we'll be in touch over the next few days.

We're down in E Sussex next week so we may be able to meet up with interested parties to discuss further.

Cheers

Good question BDCS.  We're actually not privvy to that information, but in any case we'd like to start with a clean sheet.

Johnny, yes we do.

have you ever cleaned a caravan with wfp? thats dirty?#
Its a nightmare if it has a "dimpled" skin to it. pressure washer and a good brush will do the job.

I'd like to do it, but its a 3.5 hours drive each way for me!
