I have to give a quote in for windows at total hieght 21 mtrs. The only issue is that the type of windows are were the frames are deep and would this cause any problems at this hieght. It's hard to describe the windows they are on a stair well and they are all the way down to ground level, wish i had took a photo ::)
The frames must be 6inches deep so is there a brush which would work all the way around the frame as i clean the glass. Sort of bristles comeing out from everywhere ?
If you got any idea to what i'm on about, and think you can help,,,Thanks

I think Prob the vikan hi/lo brush is the one you may need.

Gardiners Mk 1 super light, double trim, mono filament brush. Good at flicking spiders out of corners in deep wooden framed georgian type windows. Bristles flex more on the Mk 1 version, Mk 2 version has more shorter, compacter bristles so doesn't flicker as good.

I have look on there site is the sill brush the same as the hi lo brush ??
Windowswashed
The brush you are on about will not be of any use for what i need , but thanks
-
The best way of wording these windows is just think there is a window sill all the way around the windows.
Would the sill brush work on these type at 60 odd feet.

I'd get a cherry picker in.

I have'nt got a ticket to use a cherry picker
I'll have a look windowswashed. Thanks

Maybe you need a std brush that will swivel to a vertical plane/angle for doing the side frames in an up and down manner ?
-
The passenger does not need one only the operator.
-
Jeff Whats a std brush ?? do you have any pics.
William Tyndale , How much does it cost for a day ? This job is to be done every 8 weeks. But i think i can do it with a pole just need the right brush and once i get down a few floors it will be alot easyier. If i was to use a cherry picker prob only need it for a few hrs.

check out hill brush's tank brush i have one just havent put jets in it yet its small but perfect for awkward jobs i think vikan do tank brushs as well
-
From what you describe I get the idea that a normal brush even the superlite will work but on a very very long gooseneck. Getting the gooseneck at the correct angle at that hi
eight might be a bit tricky though.

Hi Simon
Yes it would be ok for the glass, but it would'nt clean the side of the frames and i think i would struggle on the sills as well.

The gardiners superlite brush with one of their goosnecks i think is the one.
This brush has soft enough bristles which will get into into most corners as it splays very nicely.
