Post by: philsimm on March 17, 2005, 03:12:51 pm

some-one out there must have cleaned cladding with a wfp system, how much would you charge? bearing in mind this is overhead cladding.

Hope someone can help, a company waiting for my quote

Not quite sure what you mean by "overhead" cladding.

think the guy means soffits. ie the underside of the roof where it meets the wall sometimes up to 6-7 ft across.

I have one to do in April, usually do it by hand on step ladders, about 9ft high, but been thinking of doing it with the wfp, just dont fancy gettin wet, oh an me arms may drop off tryin to get upward pressure.

Not as easy as it looks if you meen the underside of a cannopy by overhead cladding.
Hard to clean
Difficult to rinse
Painful on the arms (mine ached for several days)
you get very wet
in the end had another contractor on the site use his power washer, finnished it in a fraction of the time and made a better job of it than I could have done.

thanks for the advice, realize its going to be hard on the old shoulders, but we think the price will compensate.

I think you mean awnings not claddings, check the other post you made on this subject.
