Roof cleaning

[Neil]

With roof cleaning is it best to get right on the ridges of the roof and pressure wash down the tiles? Obviously no standing on roof unless harnessed up

Depends on roof- done a few recently - ladder to gutter then extension lance - good selling point not walking on tiles - did you get a machine Neil?

That's the way I do roofs too, hard work but charge well for it!! Do you spray them after with Algoclear or some of the other similar products?? I've had great results with the cleaner I use, its obviously a slower process but I lasts way longer than power washing

 

[Evolution Pro Clean]

or even it last way longer......

 

[Evolution Pro Clean]

F@%k!! think it should even be, it lasts way longer.....

It's a high pressure telescopic lance

Like WFP but it blasts out !

- do you treat roof after cleaning ? What do you apply Algoclear with ? I have used Wet and Forget ( not cheap )

Do not I repeat do not buy one off them extendable lances there ridiculous when extended and under pressure you can not physically keep the end down

We use a omnipole and roof crawler attachment it's the only way

Yeah i treat with biocide, similar to algoclear pro but stronger and way cheaper, less than half the price of algoclear. I have a proper chemical injector to add the chems to water and apply with a darlac 5 mtr pole with a sprinkler end on it, works great from the gutter unless the roof is very long, if it is i use a booster pump to get more pressure

Is this DDAC you use? Mistral chemicals have stopped selling so I had to go back to algoclear at much higher price! Can you get DDAC anywhere else?! Or what you use? Thanks
