Urgent Help Needed

[Knoxy]

Been out doing some leaflets today managed to get 4 new customers, only thing is one of them is a pub with windows that look a pain and I've not cleaned any like this before, can you give me any advice on what problems I'm likely to encounter and how to overcome them. I'm using a wfp.

Pub

If wfp you should be fine. If they're wooden, you may get flakes of paint coming off, but an extra good rinse should solve this and any other problems with this pub. Rinse rinse rinse! Hope that helps.

Taunton, I lived there for a few years when I was a boy, lovely part of the country. I would say if the paints to flaky and you want the job trad it.

Nothing better than cleaning a good old English Public House... You must of felt great after cleaning it mate?... I have only one pub on my round... "The Queens Arm's"... Every other month!!!... Could be a good way off getting more business for ya!!... Keep the Landlady sweet and perhaps ask to place a few business cards on the bar or something!!!... Word of Mouth is the oldest tool and still the most effective!!!

Soz mate i am normally on my mobile, and links tend not to work so well so couldnt see the link in my first post, im on laptop now so can see the pub, and what you meant!

Glad you did it OK, its all experience under your belt, they look a bit like sash windows? Wooden sash windows, esp if in bad state, tend to be the worst, some we do we just cant get perfect, others, if they are in a good condition seem to come good every time. The key is as much rinsing as you can get, get all the dirt out of the flaky wood, and then hope!!

At least this weather its drying so quick you can see if its going properly or not.
