Poles and roof scrapers

[Shane Neblett]

Good afternoon,

I keep getting asked to clean roofs whilst I’m cleaning carpets. So I’m diversifying into roof cleaning also, with zero experience

My question is what type of goose neck can I get that will fit / with Gardiner SLX 27 that’s compatible with skyscrapers?

Regards.

If the roofs safe enough to walk on then get yourself a electric drill and add a wire brush attachment onto the end of it. It's the easiest way.

Don't underestimate how hard work roof scraping is. It will take you 2 to 3 times as long as you think and your arms will be killing.
As well as a pole and scraper blades you will need something to apply biocide with and PPE (biocide not good for your lungs), a way to empty the gutters of all the moss scraped off, brushes and shovels to clean up the ground afterwards, a tarpaulin helps. Hire a tower as working off ladders is way too dangerous. Don't underestimate how difficult it is swinging a 30ft pole about from a tower.

Have a look at Gutter Vacuum Systems I'm sure @GVS Julia Martin would help you with all the kit you need to scrape roofs.

I'm not trying to put you off but its quite an outlay and lots of physical effort but it can be lucrative.
