Title: fascia/soffit clean..arm ache!!
Post by: dazmond on April 02, 2010, 05:46:06 pm

did my girlfriends mates conny roof and windows(freebie)then did a fascia/soffit clean in the pouring rain!ended up taking me nearly 3 hours for £87!! ::) ::).

ive been using an unger ali pole with heavy unger brush.my arms are seriously aching now!!no way am i gonna use this pole when i go wfp!!


would a brodex hydra alloy pole with superlite gardiners brush be a hell of a lot lighter and more rigid?

the unger pole was bending all over the place with the wind and weight of the brush!! ::) ::) ::)

i will eventually get a SLX when funds allow.


regards

dazmond

Plenty of useful poles about.
Needn't be an expensive SLX, but anything is better than those aluminium poles!

Hi Daz -

you will be far better off with the brodex   hydra/prolong  as the ali is a better grade and has been hard annodised for protection against wear.

i use a prolong for soffits/facias and you get hardly any bend are get plenty of pressure on thr boards to quickly remove the dirt

do these goosenecks get the sills much better?
i have a few houses above bay windows,sometimes dont get the sills that well.

clee,

i removed my gooseneck as it made the pole too long to fit inside the van i also found it made things difficault like sills to do so i changed to angle adaptor and found this suited me far better
