Title: Petrol station canopies
Post by: Dean Taberner on January 24, 2009, 07:17:50 pm
Hi guys,

Have any of you ever cleaned the underside of the canopy of a petrol station?

By saying canopy I mean the large roof that covers where the pumps are situated.

They get seriously minging with spiders, exhaust fumes and other grime.

If any on here have cleaned one, what did you charge?

If not what would you charge if asked to clean one?

Also take into account that if its a busy petrol station then it may have to be cleaned at night.

Thanks,

Dean

We have cleaned several, various locations around the country.

No real chance of doing them other than at night.


Quickest way is to use a scissor lift and pressure washers. We did one in Colchester - took a couple of hours and came up perfect!!!. Charged night rate.

Just ticking over at the moment. Lots in the pipeline and getting ready for a busy period of store work.

Just picked up a nice every other month clean at the back of the Sentinel (newspaper) offices.

You want to get a 4/5 berth caravan and tow that round with you. You'll look like a right pikey but it only costs about £15.00 a night - for 3 and you can be in the ' I drive down the M1 club' and wave at us as we go flying past you with the floor shredding off the underside of our caravan.
