Just had a call from a chap in a posh inner city apartment, hes moving out and needs windows cleaning.

Two of them however are about 10 ft high and start 6 ft up from floor, so top is 16 ft.

It is also a fake inside window, so there is an external one to clean plus both sides of this internal one, Wondering whether i can use a ladder? Not looked at it yet this is just from phone call, looking tommorow after work, maybe could use a harris pole with trad tools on for the top??

What you reckon? weird one innit?

sqeegee on the end of a pole , use the widest you have, then wrap a scrim around the head and wipe down after that ( it will get rid of any lines )

with a bit of practise you can get them good

thts what i thought only problem is the other sides of these fake/external windows, whether i can get at them with a pole, otherwise might be a case of getting hands round

Have to wait and see, but its getting the height if that is the case.

Could be messy using a pole, chances are he will be having the carpets cleaned at the same time

[seandyer2003]

yeah, what do you suggest for getting the height then all ive got are my ladders, my steps wont get that high?!

tape down some plastic sheets

yep matt has it spot on, you may find it hard and bothersome if possible to use a ladder, use a pole, i have done many like that , as said lay down a sheet of plastic, i use some lino with carpet stuck to it underneath for extra safty of stray water, do more than once if you need to, all the best

Use WFP inside! I'm serious - I have before

Soak the brush in pure water... Bring the pole inside, extend it and scrub the window with the brush - Then when the brush is dry (or almost) place a scrim over it and dry the window.

Very good advice there from Matt IMO

[seandyer2003]

i will go for the trad pole ideas i think, not quite brave enough for the wfp idea, although thankyou for your ideas, will let you know when i see what the access is like tommorow!! sounds like hes loaded anyway, lives smack bang in city centre, so should be ok job..

will do:) its gonna be a weird one to qoute really as it isnt alot of work but is very awkward to get too, to park, to do etc, will prob be half a day (4 hours) so hope he wont mind paying 100+quid

[carl stanton]

or failing all of the above tell its very technical job and you will have to but one of them kiddie trampolines to do it!!   

[seandyer2003]

yeh lol, i actually have a job where the conservatory has a trampoline backed right up to it and only way to do them is from trampoline The temptation to bounce around is hard to resist, only the neighbours would probably think im mental lol
