We turned up to a regular window cleaning job this morning, the woman came out and said that she had had a professional pressure washing company clean the paths and patios this is the finished results ??? she described them using a small electric yellow pressure washer .

I don't do pressure washing as I'm too busy teaching Londoners how to clean windows properly ?

If they used hypo and did it properly they could have used garden hose for a 100% better job

The same windows have spotted both times since, no other windows on the block do either. 1 legitimate complaint out of the 20,000+ windows we do for them every quarter. Ranked No1 contractor by them as well

We did a gutter clear, soffit and gutter clean and another 4 houses in the street while a couple of lads with a Karcher were also cleaning a front drive a few doors further on from the last house we cleaned. The drive is actually hard standing for 1 car.
They were very proud of their achievement and put up an advertising board, which was still there a week later.

Nice sign written van, though, advertising their services on the side.

Weird that how some windows behave like that

We even used limescale remover last time so wonder if she waters the numerous plants and gets water on the outside somehow. The problem was we'd done them 4 times before without a problem so never double checked, after 1st wash

I've seen a bloke on one of the facebook groups a couple of years ago uses a karcher and does a great job, but it was a more professional grade one (grey in colour I think). He was in London with quite limited access and only did small paths and patios etc. Obviously a proper pressure washing company would use a much more industrial machine and a lance or whirlaway. Don't do pressure washing myself, but years ago I worked with a German guy who was an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge with with all this type of equipment, and he always said that Nilfisk were far better than Karcher. Having used the Nilfisk equivalent of a couple of Karchers I think he was spot on.

Saw a chap pressure washing for one of my neighbours last year, cleaning a two car driveway with a pressure washer about the size of a matchbox. Think he was there for about 3 days but to be fair to the guy he did a lovely job. ?

It happens, this Summer I turned up to two regular window jobs, No#1 had new patio laid a few years ago with concrete pavers with a riven pattern the guy had almost completely removed the top surface off every slab, No#2 job didn't look better than when he started he was using a Karcher he was their Gardener but was probably doing on the fiddle as driving a battered old ford focus

The gardener who turns home handy man. Starts cutting the grass, then gets add ons. We have a large house in extensive grounds and this is exactly what happened.

Their maintenance guy who worked at the factory and also the owner's house, died of a heart attack, so the gardener has become the new maintenance guy. He had his 80 year old dad up on steps this summer painting a wooden gate.

Quite possibly this might happen, I was bit miffed that day I have cleaned their windows for years and not once been offered a drink and he was there drinking tea ?

Just spent two days installing fencing for a client. Lovely couple. No question on price. Very easy to please. Loved the job.

We worked in torrential rain. Thunder and lightning, The lot. Number of coffees offered? Zero. Husband even came out at one point and asked if we were having lunch soon. Here we go we thought. Bacon sandwiches on the way?. Nope. Nothing at all. ?

We have a rule when I’m with my labourer that day one on a new job if they don’t offer then we go without and then I bring the flasks from day two onwards.

Same with this house we clean. She has 2 cleaners who come in every Friday. We also have to clean on a Friday every 4 weeks as she is home that day, and we have some internals windows to clean.
The cleaners get coffee, as does the gardener, but we are never offered any. When the gardener is there, and she isn't, he has a kettle and coffee in an outside shed to make himself coffee. We have cleaned this place for the last 8 years. The cleaners have changed, but the routine stays the same. Anyway, we take our own flasks.

One house I go to the bloody gardener gets a packed lunch made for him and brew..... I get nowt....

Nearly every customer offers me a drink. That’s because I’m down south.
You northerners are notoriously unfriendly ??

I don't why I was a bit miffed to be honest I don't like tea.

That's shocking that they never offered you a cuppa, it's a given that any lads who work on our house get offered a drink be it hot or cold depending on the time of year, a plasterer we had a few times liked a herbal tea so he'd bring his own tea bags and make his own tea if we were out at work which we were happy for him to do as he was really nice fella
