 Hi Dave,  i'm thinking of going over to WFP soon and just wondered that first house with the conservatory you cleaned in compton yesterday, how long it takes you to clean and what you would charge with or without the conservatory, and what sort of pole and brush are you using there, sorry about all the question but i'm just trying to size up things with going over to WFP, cheers LaL.

Hi Lal, I charge £30 for that property based on a 8 weekly clean. It would probably be £20 without the conservatory.
It takes me about 45 mins on my own.
I'm using a carbon fibre sl-x 25ft from Gardiners with a flagged dual trim 25 degree splay super-lite brush, also from Gardiners

Regards, Dave

Hi Johnny
Well I do my best to blast all dirt/cobwebs/bits out from inbetween the frame and sill.
Over time you will get less dirt coming from here.
All you can do is turn your flow off and use your bristles to sweep any bits off afterwards.

Regards, Dave

Hi John, I bought mine from Lee Brothers in Sedgley, Wolverhampton.

They do light builders merchant supplies etc, there must be similar places near you, or you, could just nick one lol
