Unsuitable windows for WFP?
« on: March 25, 2013, 09:00:49 am »
Hi

I'm going WFP soon, and thinking through my jobs there are a number with flaky frames, and a few with leaded windows and/or metal frames.

Are there any special techniques that I could use, or any window types I should avoid completely?

Are old sash windows ok?  What do you do when you come across windows that are open?

Thanks

old paint can be a nightmare u need to rinse and rinse then rinse some more however some may not come good.

sash frames not a problem if you work in a methodical manner and dont squirt water under bottom of top window.

any open windows during hot weather (ha ha ha) can be closed with brush head normally ... if they cant then they dont get done ... simples.

Those ones made from brick are best to avoid. I generally stick to the glass ones.

I wish I'd known that before - I couldn't work out why I was getting through so many blades as a trad  :o

Also ally frames can be a nightmare...
