Moving in the Right Direction

Good day to you all and welcome to newsletter number Five.
I am very happy to let you all know that the newsletter is serving its purpose and letting customers, both new and old, find out about the services that we offer and the response for quotes and subsequent work carried out has increased – Hooray – and thank you.

One focus of mine for some time has been to increase the number of commercial jobs we do, These jobs require a team and can keep us busy for 1-5 days or more.
Inevitably more equipment, know how, challenges and obstacles present themselves and this is certainly keeping things interesting.

Here are some of the team working at Bupa Pottsville

One of my earliest jobs was at Bupa Pottsville, and it was a monster for someone starting out, taking two weeks for one man (with some help from his wife), but with four of us working as a team we completed it in 3 days, meaning less inconvenience for staff and residents. Bupa has consistently used us do the full clean every year since 2012.

The Domain, Currumbin. An extremely well looked after residential complex

The managers of this complex in Currumbin have very high standards and keep the grounds looking spotless. Every Spring we spend a couple of days Pressure Washing the driveways and paths, as well as pool surrounding and pretty much every concrete surface there is.
The end result always looks great and we lock it in for the following year.

Introducing Mike to the team

Here’s a pic of Mike Salmon, the newest member of the Sparkle Team. Mike has been cleaning windows for 20 years or more and he always has a smile on his face – just look at him here… caked in dirt and loving every minute of it.

In other news…

We hear these bush stone curlews a lot at night but it was amazing to see them in the day with their chicks too. The first time I heard one I jumped out of bed and ran to the middle of the street to see who was screaming. Ahhh good old Australian wildlife…

Searching for a Pot of Gold in Pottsville

sparkleadmin Blog

Two things of significance have occurred since the last newsletter, one, it has rained a lot (hence the excuse for a pic of the worlds brightest rainbow) and two, we have completed a number of builders window cleans.

These cleans are tricky at the best of times and can be super challenging on most occasions. Some trades have little regard for the difficulty of trying to get flecks of plaster and paint off brand new glass without leaving a scuff or a scratch so it is with patience and knowledge that we attack the challenge ahead of us.

Enjoying the view at Coopers Shoot

This leads me nicely into explaining the extensive detail and high standards that we adhere to, to provide the most satisfactory outcome for every customer.

As well as the window pane itself, we also take care of that most excrutiatingly frustrating job of cleaning the tracks and the frames.
This can be an overwhelming task that many will choose to ignore but the results can make a huge difference to how your home feels.

Before and After

The right tools for every job

Recently we undertook the cleaning of a prominent corner restaurant location in Coolangatta. It happened to be the coldest day Coolangatta has every experienced and I didn’t take my wooly hat off the entire day, but that didn’t stop us utilising all manner of tools to get the place looking amazing.

The Vinyl Shade Sail had seen its fair share of bad weather so we put the telescopic water fed system to good use both above and below

Roof cleaned, windows sparkling, floors scrubbed and ready for the new tenants to move in and start their new adventure.

In other news…

This is the gruesome reality of life in the undergrowth and what surprised me was the fact that the wasp was eating the spider ! This happened in our back garden and we watched this wasp traveling backwards while dragging its meal up the rock wall. It was really quite a splendid sight.
