First time this job has been done in 10 years 

[JSMC]

what poles are they?

[Alex Gardiner]

Super-Lites- we used three Super-Lites and two SL-X poles between four operatives.

One, two or three scrubs and did you use any soap ? If your back already must have gone well ?

[Alex Gardiner]

Two scrubs on most, three or four on some of the really dirty stuff. No soap.

Went inside to check the work and we were really pleased with the results. It took an hour longer than my shortest estimated time, so I was quite happy with my time calculations.

What does a scrub mean? One scrubbing action of the brush or one complete overall scrubb of the window?

One complete over-all scrub and clean of the window. If you counted up the number of times the brush actually covered the glass in all, it would be about 10-15 times!

How did the logistics work?Where was the water? Assuming three maybe four cars did they hold 400l each? Surely not in barrels?

[LWC]

looks a great job though 

well done

[Alex Gardiner]

We had 4 vehicles on site with the following tanks:

1 had a 500 litre tank
1 had a 400 litre tank
1 had a 380 litre tank
1 had a 300 litre tank

Each vehicle is plumbed up so that two reels can be run off the vehicle at a time which allowed for maximum flexibility.

showing off with all them poles arent you

I had another Super-Lite in the car I didn't use!  Kirsty gave me a discount

[Village Gleam]

This is exactly what i get, then when I do give em' a glimpse, they take the pee!

[Alex Gardiner]

We want to see pictures with the SL-X!!     

The SL-X is the pole on the far left in the first photo.

I don`t want a picture i want the pole. :

Couldn't agree more 

[Clear Vision]

Nice pics!

Just noticed it's a pig pen!! 

I did 2 pens on sunday with a map f16 fishing pole at 39ft

How high is that Alex, 50'? Is that some sort of maintenance gantry on the roof? I doubt wfp was about in Cornwall when they built that.
Oh, and you used the new brush too i trust?

Spot on - 50ft.  Yes, they did have some gantries on the roof but for safety reasons workers are no longer allowed to access the roof area or to use any type of cradles, hence WFP to the rescue.  I was using a couple of prototype brushes, still a few more days before we get our new ones in.

Good advert that, hardly any flex in those poles at all.

Great job!
just wondering how much do you charge for that work? 

[Alex Gardiner]

Great job!

That would be telling  .  Basically I worked it out as a day's work for four people and charged accordingly.  It was bread and butter work rather than jam and cream.

Ha Ha 

A days work for a skilled window cleaner- looking at, at least around £17 per hour for the hired help and more for the business owners.
