Really pees me off mate. The part itself was about £7 and could easily be delivered by royal mail so why not give the choice. I'll not be getting another facelift pole anyway. Thinking of getting a gardiners clx22. I've a clx 10 for bungalows but using a 30ft pole for most work which isn't easy on the arms sometimes

Needing a bit of advice lads.going to quote a house tomorrow.bungalow with wooden sash windows all around.how would you lads go about quoting these windows?I don't have any on my round so not sure how to go about it.also,any advice on cleaning them?

Assuming you're WFP it would very much depend on the condition of the frames. If they're old wooden ones that are poorly maintained then I doubt I'd want the job. It will take you longer to put the putty back on and you'll be forever rinsing paint flakes off. 

If they're UPVC or well maintained then they'll take at least half as long as normal windows.

If you're trad ignore the above.

To me this depends if you can afford not to do it. If you do get it use soft flocked brushes to try and preserve the paint

You should factor in travelling time to the job. 

Also those frames with square sets inside them can be fiddly to clean if the windows have wooden frames. 

Old paint oxidises over the years and can smear the glass. 

Good luck.
