Knew that would get your attention.
Cleaning above a glass canopy today with my 45ft tucker pole when one of the clips caught the edge, not hard just caught it.
Being toughened glass it shattered. >:(
According to a double glazing friend of mine, in excess of £2500 worth. Luckily my Public liability will cover it, (i've checked) but there will be a £250 excess.
Got to fill the forms in and see how we go.
I was lucky though because I was so shell-shocked by this that on leaving site I didn't clamp on double 7metre ladders, drove home 4 miles away and they didn't fall off. :o
Now that could have been expensive
So what's your most expensive accident.
-
only had one cleaning a lean to roof made of glass with the wire in it and droped my unger brush on to it which cracked the glass,
it cost £200 to replace.
-
That remines me my P/L has run out.
-
So what clips fell and from what sort of height?

I broke and reimbursed for a £200 garden table.

I've told this before and it cost me three free cleans at £20 each.
Nice bungalow with conservatory on the edge of Bristol with a pair of planters, one each side of the front door (the sort with Thai or Balinese lions with foliage growing out of their heads).
My hose catches one and I watch it gracefully fall against the step and smash. Fragments and earth everywhere. I tell the custie who's a bit irritated but says he has a spare in the shed and I offer a free clean. He accepts.
No sooner has he shut the door and I turn round and pull the other one over with the same result. It was so bad that the custie was either gonna laugh or cry. I was so embarrassed and fortunately he laughed ... and got another two free cleans.
:-[ ;D

Yeah thanks for that. ;D
First accident in 6 years of shining, perhaps it's a wake up call to be more careful....
