Nice job /emoticons/wink.png

Do you cover windows etc first in plastic as using that brick acid can cause etching/streaks to glass also could damage plastic & painted surfaces too?

What dilution rate do you use for the walls?

What product did you use to clean the roof?

What paint did you use for the roof tiles?

What with all the painting comments lads??? I don't paint I clean things /emoticons/biggrin.png

So why would a customer want their white plastic guttering a green fascia painted when all it needed was a good clean?

The pics show how clean the gutteing and fascia came up after I cleaned them. No paint or brush was ever harmed/used on that job. /emoticons/wink.png

Yep always cover the windows when i use CW20, I use heavy duty wrapping film, ( youll see it wrapped round pallets etc) sticks to the window real good, i normally use a 20 litre backpack sprayer and tend to put 5 litres in it so 1 to 4 , i find any thinner and it aint that effectiveI very rarely use product on roofs, on that roof just stuck on the turbo nozzle and washed the roof down, if tiles look dodgy i have used Hydrochloric in the past sprayed on a day or two before washing, roofs up here tend to be very sturdy you have too sheet the roof then felt then nail and clip every tile to pass building regs so i havent had a leak into a house yet in 7 years of doing em, that roof got 1 coat off tile sealer and a top coat of Dulux Weathershield Masonary Paint

 

[mark m]

you painted the roof with masonary paint ?

Yank roof cleaners don't rate them H so will give that pitchwitch a miss /emoticons/wink.png

 

[M.K Cleaners.co.uk]

Not far wrong rc,... Just preparing a quote for £285 (same day discount price) which is cheap by my standards
Same day discount saves the customer £40 so if I have to call back on another day to do the pressure washing job will cost a total of £325

600 for a conservatory but 285 for a house?
You should switch those figures about

Oops! They Call Me M /emoticons/biggrin.png

Going by their terrible website the pitchwitch comes with fibreglass poles. Anyhow I could see it only working on really flat surfaces what the yanks call shingle roofs as shown in the vid. So would be very difficult to move up/down on any other types of raised thicker tiles. Not only that but could see that the jets would clean uneven with raised shaped tiles as some of the jets would be closer to area of the tiles than others. Therefor my conclusion is using a pitchwitch would be very difficult to use, could damage the surface of the tiles and leave a visual streaking effect to boot.

you painted the roof with masonary paint ?

Yep!! use it a lot!! Masonary Tiles so why not masonary paint, served my time in an oil rig yard in the paint shop so used to handling sprayers an aw.Its Weathershield Endurance Masonary, water based top quality paint about 25 quid for 5 litres also has an anti fungal additive, why pay 50 quid a gallon for roof coating that is also just a water based paint and all, only use acryilc roof coatings on old glazed tiles, but water based is the best stuff for masonary tiles as it dont peel after a few years.
