Hi Stuart,
I have a massive run of these inside one of my jobs. We do one side from a ladder. I charge 60p per pane but there are gallons of them. I hope that helps. ;)

Cant use a ladder for this job.
This pic might help as to why
-
i would want 50p one side and a pound for the side off the ladder .
minimum.......

i posted at same time the pic came on.......... changed my mind.....lol

Ha ha,
Cherry picker time LOL, or the other way to do it if that is impractical is to use a pole from the floor side. Using the pole upside down first use a damp microfibre mop then dry with microfibre cloth in the jaws of a fixi clamp. will work a treat. No need to lean over but a lanyard on the pole would be necessary.
Charge 60p per pane, for the pole method and a bit more if you need a picker. It will be an easy clean as there wont be many finger prints on the outside. ;)
-
Cherry picker! i would lean over and do them from the inside.
-
Cant get a cherry picker small enough to fit thought the doors but big enough to do the top panels which are about 70-75ft up
i was thinking of using a pole or putting a harness on and leaning over :o
or if i put a big price in i could buy a pro 10 lol :o
-
Teupen (spider Lift) will do it as a matter of fact but its a bit impractical inless you have glass that is inaccessible by any other method present.
I would do this with a pole as I mentioned in previous post with a pole etc. Harness is Ok idea but the railings are not rated to take weight so I would stay away from the leaning over thing. Pole at arms length looks so much better in the RA.

I've done loads of these, and honestly 50 or 60p is a bit low IMO. If they are any way dirty at all, and if the client is any way fussy at all, charge at least £1 as detailing around those little brackets can be a right pain, and very time consuming. If you can just rub them with a microfibre and move on, then 60p a pane might be ok,....
Last time I did panes like that I charged 3 each,... but they were particularly dirty and very awkward access!
-
3 = £2.37 at current exchange rate - Bet you dont have too many commercial contracts at those prices!
-
ive done a few of these leaning over them isnt easy im 6foot four and i struggle plus the blood goes to the head your practically upside down. try and practice
on a few of them to see how you go. if you do get the job permanently how dirty could the akward side be it might only need a microfibre cloth along the top for finger marks something for you to consider
-
£1 per side.
Damp micro, wrapped onto a DRY applicator on a small stick for the bottom half. Arm over the top for the top half.

It was cherry picker access for that one,... and external balcony panels at the sea front encrusted with salt,....

Fair enough in that case Nat ;)
-
just a thought. but if their is no problem with water landing on floor .why not use a backpack n short pole .n reach over n do them water fed .it would save the xpense .of buying long pole .n doing them off ground
-
unger pad on extension pole - damp cloth then microfibre. fastest and easiest way we've found to do them.
£1 per side
each pane takes about a minute per side.
-
Thank you very much everyone got a lot to think about!!
i am going to have to remove the pics now!

well done Stuart,
If you want a hand I'm always up for a jolly, easy work, there is a lot of glass on that job for sure, I bet there is a lot more than the pictures show.
It looks like a good contract, give a reasonable price and others will follow. ;)
