I know you only have a little pressure washer ;D but when we use a scissor lift it is rocking all over the place, with the pressure and flow coming off the surface, being cleaned.

I hate using them to work off and feel quite unsafe. I would have had to put a Niftylift on that or I would have been crying

This was a little warehouse in Dartford that we cleaned last week - inside and out

We had the chance to use our own Access machine outside



These two little HR15's for internal cleaning












Full Cladding/facade cleaning inside and out - Total of 18 man days- mostly for internal works, ceiling, walls - Three Cherry Pickers and a few vacs etc..........

Access to get inside was considered getting inside could have been a problem

He's using steam at lower pressure - but I know what you mean - quite crappy to work out of and at least he realises NOT to use a safety harness

Darran that reminds me of a job we did 5 years ago in Cleckheaton only yours looks like no more than a 2 day job.

All the rafters were caked in dust as it used to be a factory making brake shoes. We washed everything down and had a roadsweeper clean the ground. After we finished the painters went in.

Lee - That looks like the old Mintex place - my father and brother used to clean all the windows there and blow down the insides once a year!

Most of the dust used to be Asbestos back in the day so I hope you wore full breathing kit, unfortunately in the eighties the team of cleaners were given paper masks only :o

The external of the building took us less than two days pressure washing, but then we restored the powder coated window frames and lots of stainless steel - sun screens which you can't see on the pictures - this took time as we did this by hand, slowly.

Vacuum and hand wash with a secret ingredient I've used for years.

Lee

Month of January for us is always  a big furniture month, started on the 6th, this year we have 80 odd pieces of Teak in for British Airways, to date 51 chairs totally restored, including repairs returned, this week will be the last of the chairs worked on then the tables start coming thru, few pieces are to big for the workshop so will be done on site. I'll sort out some photos later, all though there are some on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/RAPressureWashingServices
If you have a look like it and I'll like your's  :)
