First I would ask why can it not be done wfp, is there anywhere to tie the ladder off?.
if not to then I personally would walk away.

Take all necesary precautions then you will be ok
What height is it? and why cant it be done wfp as that obviously would be the safest option

I have triples , and I feel safe on them ( they have flat rubber feet ) Get somone to foot them for you if you can . 8)

i wolud say height would be around 30 ft , reason it cant be done wfp is that the building as just been painted and theres paint splashes all over the glass which are going to need a scraper .

I have a 30ft set of point ladders that I would use footed and if they didn't reach then tough, you'd have to use a cherry picker. 9 meters is the max you can go to on a ladder with it being footed.

its a really big job i reckoned it would take 3 to 4 days with wfp , but since i gave my quote a couple of months ago things have change , painters have been and painted all the outside render and theres splashes all over the glass which will now mean going off ladders with a scraper , taking maybe 2 days longer so the good price i put in now dont seem that good anymore . jonah im going to pass your number on to the project manager today , i will see if im allowed to take some photos .

we would use top stabillizers and someone footing if using ladders, but where possible we would get in acherry picker and use that

Silly question maybe ....but Ive never had a customer ask me to remove paint off glass !, do customers expect this in a normal clean ?

What they except and what they get is different, Paint removal I charge extra for quite a lot extra more.
if there is an odd blob that takes more time for us to clean the windows if left I will remove it free because I am nice like that.

If i cant reach them off my four rung little giant then i never bother with the job, When i was younger i used to to have a 28ft double, But now every gets done from the little giant..Anything above this can get poled.As i am now to old and too wise to go higher unless someone is footing me.
