With wfp u can do big buildings etc 3 storeys etc,,

If u werent wfp and u wer trad how much work wud u lose?

I would lose over half of my work easily cos most of my work is 3 storey work

 
Dont quite understand that one h if you weren't wfp surely you would just buy big ladders and run up and get it done trad was here long before any of us and them three stories got done then been to three stories on ladders with squeegie was younger then but it's not impossible

Don't you mean you would lose them all seeing as you don't trad .

 
Here's a question for you, how many have you lost because you are wfp only? Most of my custys I gained simply because they don't like there windows left wet. I now spent 4 out of 6 days trad full time and I've had to start turning custys down I simply don't have time for them each call I get starts with you don't use a brush do you? And yes you can trad a 3 story house with a visa versa! Happy new year all by the way!! GF

 
I won't climb a 40ft ladder ... never ever /emoticons/smile.png better will look for another customer

 
Yep, I lost a few hundred quid going wfp
Out of curiosity do you just wfp or do you still mix in the wfp and is the round compact the question comes as built up the basic 250 ltr kit for wfp building the trad kit up now thinking when I start some jobs will be so isolated from the rest would probably be faster getting them ladders out

I trad about 3 hours a week, some as its easier some I just haven't changed over yet, probably will one day. I don't have much work where I park up and am there all day, sometimes just one house sometimes half a dozen, but if just one will often still use wfp

 
Flip me sideways and back again. Those lads on that ladder... beer money chaps that's all those are. No insurance nothing. If he went back on those ladders, that's it, back broken or even worse. Idiots.

 
I was trad then got the wfp.. There is still houses that you need a ladder for that the pole is impossible to reach.. So really you need both these days

I disagree mate, you just need to have the right pole and a good eye for geting it in the right place/position for all of those awkward windows
 
I disagree mate' date=' you just need to have the right pole and a good eye for geting it in the right place/position for all of those awkward windows[/quote']Whart about when someone wants done trad? Do you just turn that down all because you didnt want to do trad.

Nope as i already said its impossible to not do trad even with wfp but i never mentioned trad with ladders?
I still do loads of trad but its all the shop fronts etc would never dream of doing about ground level with ladders anymore + if someone asks to be done trad tell them the bottoms will be done trad but for your safety your doing anything above with wfp simple as that if they dont like it they dont like it.

How do you get up over balconies with a pole? Get over a deep extension when there's a wall right behind you, and you can't get it for the sides either.. Sky lights on a flat roof.. There's plenty of windows out there that can't be done wfp

 
Seems like alot of people look down on traditional window cleaning on here, at the end of the day if a window is clean what bloody diference does it make theres a need for both in this industry and you wpf health and safety freaks need to get your head out of the soil
