Hi Andy, just wondering how you go about cleaning 2nd and 3rd floor windows? I hope its not with a ladder.
As for pictures on the your websites home page, why not have a picture of yourself, then have someone take a picture of you whilst you are working.
I am not having a dig Andy, just trying to help you out.

Hi Matt
As I said earlier, I do a full risk assessment on every individual house and if the window comes within the safe working height of the ladder's reach then I am happy to do them (The largest ladder I use is a Class 1, 4.5 metre triple section with an extended height of almost 12 metres). If a window does not come within the height then I give the option of doing the all other windows and leaving those out, or I refer them to a WFP operator (I don't recommend anyone in particular as I don't know to what standard they work). There are other factors to consider too, rather than just height - for example a couple of weeks ago I looked at 2nd floor flat where the ladders would have reached. The customer was prepared to pay handsomely to clean windows which had not been reached in many a year and my ladders would have reached, but I had concerns that the ladders would have to be placed on a busy high street and there would be significant risk to the public from falling items from above and to the operator from possibility of the ladders being disturbed even with coning the area off. I passed up the job and gave them the numbers of 3 local operators who I knew used WFP instead.
Love the idea of using pictures of us working
My brother law is a bit of an amateur photographer - think I'll give him a call and set up a photo shoot for next week!
Cheers
Andy
