Do you tackle upstairs balcony doors with wfp or traditional?

[C Rose Cleaning Services]

I've got several houses with these Juliene style balconies on them with either glass or iron decorative safety barriers and have given in attempting to use the pole system on them as I can't get a method that doesn't leave the spotting or an outright mess. Do you guys just grab a ladder or is there a "way" of doing them from the ground.

Example below.

I got five with these, four the brush fits through the bars on an angle. So I scrub and rinse top then in through the bars for bottoms. It is a pain as if it's a big set of doors you have to wiggle the brush in twice. Not had any complaints so must be OK. Last one the bars are so close together it's an impossible job, wfp or Trad. Told her it can only be done from inside.

Same as above. Have got my brush stuck before.......

 

[CHWS]

I trad them

Depending on the amount of windows, some wfp other times when it's few I trad them . These I would definitely wfp.

The only method I use is to not do them.

I'm wfp so either the brush fits thru or it doesn't.

Luckily these are rare round here

Fair one, I've got at least 8-10 houses with them and I find it way quicker to go up and do them traditionally. Far less faff.

I've only got one house with these on a trendy street. The old woman that lives there is always in so I just go in and open the doors so I can trad from the inside.

Just put the brush through, I have a fair few of them on my rounds, never a problem they just take a few seconds longer than a patio door without railings in front.

I've got three houses with similar windows. I find them just as awkward to trad as I do to wfp them. So I wfp them

Those types you gotta trad or take a small pole up a ladder.

Or say sorry I don't do those ones /emoticons/smile.png

 

[peter rogers]

@Trev81 lets see how many on here will go up the ladder or say not..

 

[David K]

Id rather pull Out my ladder than risk a custy moves on ..

 

[Dave B]

I have a couple like that that i wfp

I have 1 that has the bars in front of the window above a sloped tiled roof so i het the ladders off and run up the roof to trad them

I have said before itbis impossible to be 100% wfp even if you wanted to as I refuse to let a window beat me

There is always a way if you put your mind to it
