Making sites for sore eyes

Varitech Systems believes,'you never get a second chance to make a first impression'. Here, the company outlines its pressure washing at height solutions

Cladding and fascias on buildings quickly gain a build up of traffic grime and other dirt which gives the impression of the building being dirty. But keeping facilities looking in prime condition can be costly and labour intensive, and with health and safety issues to be considered, contract cleaners are always looking for cost effective, simple methods of cleaning.

The new HighLine range of power poles from Varitech Systems has six sizes available ranging from 25ft reach to a massive 43ft reach.

The new composite poles go a long way to keeping costs down and have been designed to work with the operator's safety in mind. One of the simplest ways of doing so is to keep his feet on the ground.

With the poles there is no need for cherry pickers or other lifting equipment, as the poles are designed to operate from a pressure washer and reach heights in excess of 40 feet (12m). They have hoses rated up to pressures of 225 bar (3265kpi) and there is a range of ancillary products such as belt kits, various nozzle types, swivels and gutter attachments. Use of a support pole on poles being used in excess of 30ft is also highly recommended as high pressure spraying can cause unsteadiness at height. Varitech Systems is also able to produce the pressure washer and water tank side of the deal too.

Under pressure Pressure washing is a great add-on to any contract window cleaning operation and - as specialists in van installations and to meet the needs of the window cleaning/pressure washing market - we have designed a system to utilise reject water from the reverse osmosis window cleaning systems which traditionally waste up to 50% of the window cleaner's water. This is then utilised for pressure washing instead, as water purity is of no consequence. The contract cleaner can use this information as part of their marketing, especially when approaching blue chip companies, as sustainability issues are increasingly at the forefront of business.
