Title: 3rd floor balconies
Post by: colley614 on March 22, 2009, 09:53:20 pm

I've been asked to price a job with 3rd floor balconies with french doors and I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas how to clean them?

3ft balconies are best done from inside,unless you have a 4ft carbon fibre elbow  8)  French windows behind juliet balcony rails are also a problem. Have you a pic ?

sorry I didn't have my phone with me at the time. Basically they are full size balconies with a set of french doors on them. I used to do 1st and 2nd floor ones by ladder but its against the law to go that high isn't it?

If the doors are behind the rails and dont have a seating area you could use a Ionics Sidewinder
