No and the house next door has washing on the line in the back garden as well ??? we were the opposite side of the road and the drift was coming on to my van so we rinsed it down once we moved on .Lol that home owner isnt going to be to happy when they see the car paint job ruined after a few hours of hypo sitting on the clear coat ?
Yes lol I should have phoned it in and got a turnout ??That's a chemical incident for the fire service!
Funny you should say that , that’s exactly what we said !!!!Bet he is on furlough from the Photocopy company and using their van!!!!
I called out the fire brigade when I seen a guy spraying something onto his two storey roof from the ground. It was going all over the place and I didn't know what he was spraying and with children playing below. Fire engine turned up and went inside. They told me he was spraying weedkiller on the roof but not anymore. He came over and said thanks to me as he didn't realise how dangerous it was. Don't think he will be doing it again. ?Funny you should say that , that’s exactly what we said !!!!
But he was cheaper then you, funny how some people work out value for money.Just come across this guy softwashing a house using a pressure washer to apply hypo , spraying mix all over the surrounding properties and huge colons of mist vapour , how not to do it ????, it was also interesting the sign written van he’s using is a photo copier service van ?????

Lol no we hadn’t Evan priced it but we would have done the job properly ????? not covering the whole neighbourhood in hypo ???But he was cheaper then you, funny how some people work out value for money.
Not necessarily, some of the cowboys are charging more than experienced people as too low a price would suggest they are cowboys!!! Plus they earn more ?But he was cheaper then you, funny how some people work out value for money.
No, he would have been cheaper, trust me ?Not necessarily, some of the cowboys are charging more than experienced people as too low a price would suggest they are cowboys!!! Plus they earn more ?
How much would you charge to soft wash that house out of interest ???No, he would have been cheaper, trust me ?
Wouldn't have the foggiest, probably ask your advice and then halve it to have a chance of getting it up here. Something I might be looking at doing as I have a load of untapped potential work that I could get. Just too old of a dog to learn new tricks but I'm working on it.How much would you charge to soft wash that house out of interest ???
Ime a great believer in offering customers a full external clean on surface , they already know and trust you , and it’s a maximum income stream from less customers, especially commercial customers that it’s a right rigmarole to become an approved contractor with all the paperwork is a pain but if you are already on there list there is none of that .Wouldn't have the foggiest, probably ask your advice and then halve it to have a chance of getting it up here.

Trouble is nowadays you're only approved for what you're approved for. The 2 big PM companies I do work for I'm approved to clean windows and gutters from the floor, with the occasional use of ladders if suitable. For me to be approved for anything else I'd have to go through the registration again for the new category. Submitting RAMS, Insurance etc, it would be easier as the H&S know us so only the odd hoop to jump through.especially commercial customers that it’s a right rigmarole to become an approved contractor with all the paperwork is a pain but if you are already on there list there is none of that .

It’s probably best to get some formal training all theses points and many more are covered we have been soft washing for many years and thought I had a very good knowledge of the subject ,I went on a course and was very surprised how much I learned , Darren at purple rhino does courses the cost would be re cooped in a mornings work very good value for money .I am starting up in March mate, i know a lot of people who do softwashing spray water over the plants first etc and u got to be careful with them, my plan is to put covers over all plants before cleaning is started with all motors away from the cleaning area, i am also planning on cordoning the area off before application
Am i going over the top or am i doing right ? Thanks
