It can depend... generally speaking wfp is quickest... but I have a few jobs where access is a bit of a pain, or there’s a million places to snag the hose, and it’s simpler to trad them.

For large commercial windows at ground level you can't beat trad.

Anything you can't reach with a ladder is faster with wfp.  :1f61c:

For tiny windows at any height wfp is way faster.

An experienced ladder cleaner could probably run circles around me on some jobs, but I prefer to know I wont arrive at home in a wheelchair.

Thing when using wfp the water runs down and can effect the downstairs windows surely if your doing job quickly . Youv,e done downstairs , looks fine, you walk away and some of upstairs settles on them???

 

[Nudel]

When you do the tops first they have plenty of time to dry before you start with downstairs.

Unless it's a tiny, tiny house that is. Then you might need to wait for a minute.

This is usually never a problem though.

shops trad

bungalows - take same time, trad easier though

When you're as  :1f4a9:   as me tradding then it has to be WFP, except internals  :1f609:

If including frames and sills and not as some glass only. Then wfp however not on every job. I believe even if wfp you should still be able to trad.

Some don't aparantly do insides. So half a job guys?? 

I do a lot of ins an outs. Lad on outside wfp me on in double bubble. Easy money little chat an the customers loyal. Most recommendations come from in an out customers I find.

An you never will, most customers will only ever be outsides.

Technically you are only offering to to half a job as the window has two sides. ☺

That's the thing with this job

You can choose what you do and don't want to do

I do insides but know others who don't and also someone who will give me a shout to do insides for him like 1 i did this morning 

Worked out to about a quid a minute in my pocket and then straight back to my own work
