3hrs to clean, well if you take the 1hr off from talking then it would have been 2 hrs.
I found the scrubbing pad Ominpole Sell was Top Notch for this job, as it has not been cleaned in 18 years. Once i changed from the brush to the pad I really noticed the change in speed I was cutting through the grim. Thou a scrapper on the end of the pole would have been even faster. Thats my next investment.
Anyway i then went over again with the brush to finnish off and 99% of it was removed, there was some bird stuff that I could not move off the frames.
Overall they seamed very happy and they are going to book me again for next year.

Did they only ask for the roof to be cleaned?
-
No they put it up for tender and contacted me to quto them. As i do my Qutoations in a folder that look pretty posh i must say, and no one else could clean the roof i got the job :) Thou the guy whom priced the whole school was half the price i was to clean it, but i was only £10 behind him for cleaning the roof while he cleaned the whole school :) So i am very happy.

I need to go through my books to see what the price was, but my accountant has them at the moment. Your better off ringing Ominpole direct on 020-8405-6782 or visit there website http://www.omnipole.com/
The pole is a PowerPole 24ft but i had to add a extra 6ft for one side due to a gap in the roof that made the pole 30ft for one side. Thats the good thing about the poles you can be cleaning windows one second with it then pressure washing 30ft the next with it, or Gutter cleaning. They have so many more uses than a normal pole and you dont need to buy a extra pole when you need to go higher, you only have the cost of a extra 6ft section if needed.
Good Luck
