Hi lads i took my Samsung camera to work today to take some pics.As i was taking the pics the batterys died on me so the pics you will see are the befor pics. I will get some after pics up 2mor !
Kitchen was a right miss
Front bedroom
Shower room
Front bay window on the front of the house
The Blue one very easy to come off the glass but it leaves a sticky backen the clear one is ever harder to get off.
Tools use for cleaning the windows and frames
1.Unger Monsoon Sleeve with Unger ErgoTec T Bar 14"
2.ErgoTec Squeegee Complete 12" with soft rubber
3.Unger Trim ‘n’ 10 Scraper with **** loads of Blades
4.Unger Retractable Scraper/BlackJack Mini Scraper with **** loads of Blades
6.2 Sill Cloths one damp and one dry
7.1 Scrim
8.Parallel Screwdriver
9.Stanley Knife with **** loads of Blades
10.Paint Brush 1.5"
11.Upvc Solvent Cleaner in which we use to get the backen which the stickers leave on
Use paint brush on frames to get excess plaster off, open window and use paint brush to clean the tracks, use Stanley knife to score plastics round the edge of the frame so it they peel off easier. Use a green scouring pad to get any stubborn marks off. Use mop with solution in the water to wet the glass. Use Trim 10 scraper to get the plaster off the glass. Rinse mop and scraper in fresh water then clean window again using fresh water and solution. Now to get the stickers off the glass I use a new blade in the trim 10 scraper, wet the window again, scrape the stickers off, to remove the sticky residue which is left behind I use the UPVC solvent cleaner. Plastic frames given a once over with the UPVC solution also to ensure a nice shiny finish. Job done.
same as us mate you use a 2 bucket system, were always refilling too, clean grit free water is essential. like the pics, looks a great job, much pride in your work!
(The ergotec can cooler fits a small bottle of solvent/white spirit in a treat as well, mind it wrecks the silver foil inside, but i never put a drinking bottle in it anyway.
edit: oops forgot to say, got some ccu pics in our own webbie gallery, a £5million project.
