Don't know about you, but when property management companies come to me to clean apartment blocks, if they have Juliet balconies they say "don't clean them", (as they cant be reached unless cleaned from the inside).

Even ones I have privately priced up, the balconies (windows) are designed to be cleaned from the inside. Would you go this far to clean those types of windows...

Wow, that looks like the wrong pole for that type of job!

And no i wouldn't go that far.

 
Must admit, I would rather knock the job back. Unless I could clean the glass from inside. He only needs a 9ft pole to do that job. Bet that pole weighs some.

Can you imagine pricing that job up' date=' u would have to allow for a cherry picker, now that's not cheap.[/quote']No, plus if your not trained to use one, then you have to hire a guy with it!!!
 
Flip me side ways, I wouldnt go that high, even on a cherry picker!

I would clean from inside lol.

 
and flip me sideways too. I priced a large job in bradford, two old huge mills converted into flats. Needed a cherry picker, so priced them up at not short of 3k all in. Told the property maintenance company it would be high. Didn't get the job, and didn't want it either.

 
That picture has got me in stitches! check the adidas tracky bottoms and the daft wee bucket with apllicator hanging out! thats got to be a training day with the job centre no ? lmao

 
He won't fall as he has a harness on!

The hat is one of the ppe that you have to wear buy law while operating one of them,

When I was a tiler for a company, some places we had to wear hi viz, steel toe cap boots and hard hat the comply with h&s!

 
Don't forget it's not about falling, if also anything that's above you, while going up anything could hit head, if you silly enough and don't move out the way from the bottom of balcony etc,

 
when I was working on construction sites. We had to wear hard hats everywhere. Including working on roofs. The only thing that could drop us on was bird poo. Still made us wear em /emoticons/sad.png
