Cheers buddy wishing you big success this year mate
Amazing results! And congratulations on getting 100 subscribers!! 😄 xx
Thank you xxx
Great video lad👍👍
GREAT HELP thank you sid
Cheers mate glad to help!
Sound complete job that mate, you make it look easy :D
:D harder than it looks isnt it :D
Hey mate. Was wondering if you can do a comparing video of a roof you done a year ago. Would be good to see the results of both algo and gk. Cheers fella
Just hit 100 subs :-) if you only knew then that you would be on 184,000 subs about 3 years later - well done Sid
Good video mate, i don’t like the soft wash at all as you need to trust the chemicals and wait for days for results but I like the tools introduction 👍
Great video, please could you send me links to each item? Need to order, just want to make sure definitely ordering correct equipment. Thanks Sid
Now you’ve progressed more and using a dose demon, do you prefer to brush the GK on the roof or does it just depend on each job
I use similar set but with gardiner back pack I use a univalve in my pole great when I’m adjusting the pole no waste of chemical 👍👍
Would of went for Gardiner myself it I was ever in stock!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I hear ya add the univalve thou way easier manoeuvre on ladder when fluid is off great videos bud 🍻🍻🇮🇪🇮🇪
@@cororegan121 yeah man univalve definitely helps. i switch this pole around multiple times though so more hassle than its worth to me at the moment. Cheers matey
Is there any courses available for learning this? It seems very specialist or is it as straight forward as you explained? And by that I mean just careful and correct application of the correct product is enough
Hi Sid, do you just the chemical drain away via the gutter.
Good job m8
crunchynut0258 thanks mate appreciate that 👍
Jesus bud 100 subscribers, now your on 69000. I've got 27 subscribers since March. Well done buddy
Hi what sort of coverage would you get with the 1litre of algoclear pro and 20 litre water mix. Keep the vids coming very useful 👍
Probably 20m2 if saturating 👍
Hello..Is the GOPRO dilution rate 1L in 20L of water? TIA
quick...??....been using hypoclorite bleach as a weed killer.....50/50........have noticed areas of slabs are clean and spotless....after scrape and brushing could this be used on tiles........my own house....??.. cheers...
Hi, do you use the same backpack for the soft wash chemicals and then rinse out and use for gutters with fairy liquid etc? Or do I need to use a separate backpack for the soft wash? I’m thinking about getting the gk pro
Hi mate I only use one set of chemical per backpack, I rinse everything out anyway but just Incase I don’t risk it.
Nice job buddy a lot of guys start from the bottom and work up they say you get less steaks but personally I think if you start at the top on. Low pressure and apply it evenly you won't get that much run off well I don't seem to anyway
Agreed mate never had an issue starting from the top, find it easier to manage to be honest, as long as it’s on there and soaking in it’s all good if you’re using top quality products 👍 cheers for the comment mate
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning yep and those Da components spray nozzles are Epic please feel free to check out my channel
Starting from the bottom is good of you have a low flow as as you work upwards you re coat the stuff below
With a decent flow rate it doesn’t really matter
More so if using hypo as it makes a bigger difference
Great video. Can you give me some advice on how you charge for this service please when quoting. Do you estimate a time for labour while scraping and cleaning up etc.... and a price by the M2 for the biocide process. I’d like to offer this service next year to my customers as some north facing roofs are really bad. Thanks ja
Hi jason, I have a video about how to quote for roof cleaning on my channel, czcams.com/video/UjP8p_GAnTs/video.html&ab_channel=PartridgeExteriorCleaning
Check that out for detailed quoting. I personally quote for how long it will take me + materials. but it takes some experience before you can estimate that so in the video i linked i go over charging my m2. If thats not how you want to do it i'd recommend a full roof clean to charge a day rate, most roofs will take you two days if youre inexperienced so day rate x2 + chemicals.
Another great video bud and always great to watch!! I’ve a slate roof to clean it’s not bad more green than anything else and will be using the algo clear pro and customer has said what guarantee do you give so just wondering what’s a fair guarantee to offer with the biocide application ?
Cheers buddy
Hi mate thanks a lot!
Always worth giving a 12 monther in my opinion 👍
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning cheers buddy 👍🏻
Marathon Watching 9/27/21 Yeah, you have to be careful with any liquids like that... good tips!
Great video, very informative. When applying the biocide, could you use a brush on the wfp too, just to give it a but of a scrub as the chemical is sprayed on?
Hi David, thanks very much.
That’s exactly how I do it now, find it easier to scrub it In as it’s coming out through the wfp. Either way you’ll get the same results it’s just a bit easier on the back and shoulders when you’re brushing 👍
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Thanks for the reply. Yeah I thought it might he an easier way and is the way I'll go about it I think. Keep up the good work. The videos are very good and helpful. Dave. 😊👍
@@daveerickson4585 Cheers dave all the best mate.
Do you have to remove the moss first or can you just treat the roof with the biocide
Does it work on asbestos slate roofs?
nice
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does your camera steam up aswell bud
Hi bud, Does it matter if the chemical gets into the guttering and down pipes?
Hi mate there is mixed reviews on this but i choose to be safe not sorry. I collect all chemical waste from the job and do not let it reach the drainage system. For more details i'd recommend reading up on this, www.gov.uk/guidance/pollution-prevention-for-businesses
from reading that it mentions foul drains being okay but im still wary so I don't risk it just incase what i think may be a foul drain, isn't. Unlimited fines doesn't sound nice.
How does the big boy backpack cope with ‘harsh’ chemicals going through it? Cheers
I use a 12v pump the same as the backpack ones and the chemical one I use does a good couple of years if washed out properly after each job
25 quid for a new one
Every 2 years is a bargain
If you didnt use biocide how long is it before there is noticeable moss grow back? I ask as I use the rain water for plants and I'm worried I would be collecting a diluted biocide solution in my water butt
The moss would grow back quickly if not treated with biocide. Really you should disconnect the downpipes when biociding a roof so that you're not polluting local water sources
@@benjak02t In my area there is only a single pipe into the road. The new builds they separate rain water pipe. Locally everyone just dumps it into ground
hi nice video what biocide do you use
Hi mate I use Algoclear Pro but trying out GKPRO in february so i'll do a video on if its any good or not.
So is the biocide the softwash?
What do you do about runoff into the gutters as it shouldn’t go into the watercourse??
Im not sure if i mentioned it in this video but disconnect the downpipes and catch the run off, if you cant disconnect them for some reason I usually plug them up and mop up the run off once the roof has settled. I pour any run off into an empty 10L barrel and take it to the local waste site when it starts getting full.
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thanks for that. I have been wondering how people do it. I was thinking of blocking the gutters with say a heavy rubber ball and then when you’re done with the bio treatment sucking it out with a gutter vacuum. Do you think that would work??
@@jasonb4915 You could do, a ball may still let some through though so wouldnt be perfect, 99% of the time you can just disconnect at the top and pop a bucket at the bottom where itll be dripping but theres always a way. I do use a towel stuffed in the downpipe a lot
I’m in the USA. What is the active ingredient in biocide?
DDAC, don’t ask me how to spell out what it stands for, too long :D
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thank you!
Ha 7:13 into video - "I've just hit 100 subs, I didn't think I'd get there that quickly" How quicky things can change ay Sid!? 👍😄
Haha too right mark! Didn’t think I’d ever get this far!
pukka video mate, im someone who's thinking of doing this for myself
Ever used a 12v chemical pump to apply biocide?
No mate what’s the extra benefit do you know?
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning higher rate of flow have a look at everflo pumps. Can run them off a car battery.
Hi friend what bio do you use
Hi mate I used Algoclear pro in this but trying out some GKPRO if it warms up this week
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning
Algo clear is very expensive
All the main ones are around the same price mate, they’re approved for roof work so no worries with insurance if anything goes wrong. If a 5L of biocide is under £90 be wary of it because it’s probably extremely weaker or it won’t last as long as the main 3 companies. Algoclear, Benz, GKPRO
I wouldn’t risk shopping anywhere else
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning
I get the algo clear pro 140euro 10 liters . Algo clear has a new one out now is called 50/50
It's twice as strong talking to the rep yesterday . Mosgo has a new and improved formula it's meant to be 70% stronger than the old one. It's 25euro a gallon I never found it to be any good that was the old one it was only 4 per cent where algo clear was 40per cent .if the new mogo is 70% stronger????
It's called mosgo green remover . God blesd
@@mazman8343 No idea mate havn't heard of the mosgo, might be worth a look, i'll read up on the data for it when i get chance :D
What biocide do you use?
Hi Liam I use Algoclear pro, costs around £100 with vat and postage for 5L.
Do you ever use a 50/50 SHC mix
So how much you charge..?
Hi Spence I have a video on how to quote and price these sort of jobs here czcams.com/video/UjP8p_GAnTs/video.html&ab_channel=PartridgeExteriorCleaning
Can't really give you a flat rate as every job is different and the postcode affects prices too.
Cheers.
What bio do u use ??
GK PRO mate
