is there a velux on the roof??

i ask as the pole looks enormous for 2 storey residentials..

[richardlingard]

hey i do pretty much the same thing, however as well as cleaning all the frames etc i clean and rinse the top 2-3 inches of the glass as well as this is always the worst then when i go back around i clean the window missing the top 2-3 inches that i have already done, but pretty much the same LOL

[richardlingard]

he says in the article that he cleans the skylight while waiting for the drips to stop ;-)

[Carl@Cwc]

yep i see it now....    

still extended too long if he had waited for drips to stop ??

[Steve Sed]

That's generally how I do them if access is easy.

[g.brookes]

thats how i do it as well although i am increasingly finding as my technique gets better, they dont need a second going over

I thought that, but I found I was wrong a few times and unless I am behind schedule I think better safe than sorry. The second pass is only a few seconds a window so I do it unless it's real hassle to move back to the start.

you stopped and had a cup of tea 

I have been doing few new cleans today, sweating my butt off, no time to stop for tea.

All vents frames ect spotless, it is the tequnique you use that guarentees this.

I would defo not recommend cleaning just the frames on the whole house in this weather as the dirt will bake on to the glass giving you more scrubbing to do to remove it, in the winter it could well be different.

what I do is: clean the top of the frame, vents ,then the top of the glass upto and including the top frame again, then clean sides of frames glass and sills, I then move onto the next window whilst waiting for the run off from the vent and top frame, and do the same on the next, I then move back to first window and clean the glass only again and the sill.

I very rarely ever get a call back for spots (will never say never because now I have said that I will get a call about it lol)

Quick question Lee, did your guy take on board what I said about the cleaning of three storey houses with stone sills and recessed windows on roof ?

Hello Ian, what is that regards the 3 story?

about them cleaning the tops of three storey house with stone sills, that a recessed second floor was in one of your videos.
to avoid the chance of spotting the first floor could be cleaned first then the floor above as will not drip due to it being reccessed in the roof.
I said it to help not pick fault. I guess you didnt see the comment I made on the video.

Lovely day today was'nt it
