I used to put a small bricklayers trowel in the gap of slabs if they were slippy when I was a window cleaner, and put the foot of my ladder against it.
Great video mate.
Ha, that's actually a really good idea :D
OMG I cant believe you used to do it like this! Come a long way!
Thank you for these videos Sid. They help me relax.
Great Results and professional work ethic yet again Sid amazing results
Cheers buddy 👍👍
This is fascinating! I live in Colorado where our humidity is around 20% most days. I had no idea that people had to clean moss and other growth off of so many surfaces. Very satisfying to watch!
Ditto! I have never encountered moss like this on any roof in Colorado.
Great job. As always love watching your vids!
Brilliant transformation mate great to watch 👍🏼
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
I like seeing the roof get all lathered up at the end lol. Great video 💖💖
Surely a leaf blower mainly moves the bits over to the rear roof? Spinaclean''s Atom gutter vac has a blow function too that let's you blow down rather than up from the top of the tubes. Works a treat, then it's handy to vac the gutters to complete the job.
Marathon Watching 3/17/22 Excellent work! Looks so much better after you were done ✅!
So satisfying! Wicked job!😄 xx
Woo thank you! xx
Good video I do the odd Bungalow and garage roof but getting to old for the big stuff lol
Excellent video 📹
:D Cheers mate, yeah it is tiring work so I don't blame you!
Great work sid.well done and keep up the good work mate 😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁👍🏻😁
wow. that roof was really something!
Yeah it nearly killed me !
Brilliant job! 😊
Cheer for the info mate and thanks for the reply
You're welcome mate
My ocd is killing me when he didn’t remove the moss up until the line/ chimney. Great job though!
Sorry xD! thank you
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning no need to apologise, I love your vids!
Thank you so much for watching :D
I love your extender pole.
Quality job as usual mate 👍👍
Cheers buddy!! 👍
I look at this and think "there's got to be an easier way to do this"
Looks great, I hope you put a flyer through next door, saying 'I recently cleaned your neighbours roof and wondered if you would like a quite?' :-)
I did go and ask them but it’s rented damn it :D
Cheers mate 👍
Nice job buddy I personally wouldn't put the stand off on the tiles like that buddy looks a bit risky.
Satisfying job I like doing roof cleans even though it's hard work
Cheers mate! Yeah I never usually do but the overhanging guttering was too far out to get a good position on the roof, bit of an awkward angle really. Think I’m going to hire a tower in future, done too many off ladders now feel like it gets harder every time 😆
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning yeah I've had a few like that and you end up twisting your back I've considered buying a tower and of course you can put it down on your quote tower hire £30 to cover your costs
Your no old school window cleaner, i didn't see a bicycle, wooden ladder over the shoulder and bucket hanging of the handle bars in you're vids ;)
@@englishgrandad3298 I'm a new old school window cleaner buddy modern day man and all that 🤣🤣🤣
Friend what do you think of the mobile aluminium platform the single one. I just thing is safe and looks really professional looking
An off the wall question…you often say at a break that you’ll get a cup of tea. I’d be curious to know what your favorite brand and type of tea? And do you add anything to it? Just being a wee bit nosey here in the states. 😊 ❤
I stumbled across your channel and find what you do to be quite fascinating. We don’t have roof cleaners in the states because the majority of buildings are very young and modern. Even on the old buildings we see fatter rooflines and stone being used. It amazes me the amount of different materials used for roofs and patios, as well as the amount of poor drainage because of the runoffs being so small that sludge plugs them up quickly.
How long does the biocide usually last once applied before moss starts to grow back?
Can take up to 18 months for full results then you’re usually good for years but I’d depends on the weather, amount of trees by the roof, if it gets much sun etc. But roofs I’ve done 3 years ago are still great.
There’s a rough estimate of 5 years but too many factors to promise anything, either way it will take years for a roof to get as bad as an average one you’ll get called up to clean
That’s amazing of how much was on there
Hi sid
Your channel is really great and informative 👍🏻
I have got all the tools to complete roof clearance jobs but haven’t done one yet and I’m slightly worried about how well the bioside will work having not done one yet . Is it just a case of give it a go and see what happens? I suppose you just have to trust the manufacturers products do what them say
Thanks as always
Hi mate thanks a lot and best of luck to you. Explain to the customer and to yourself :D that the biocide is a slow process and full results can take up to 18 months. However within that 18 month period as long as you've applied correctly ad the mix is good that the roof will only get better, nothing new will grow and it will just slowly die off. Do the best scraping job you can for peace of mind also :)
That’s great advice mate
Thanks so much 👍🏻
Can you tell me if there are air borne spores coming off the moss during scraping. I live in Central Texas so I only what I have learned here watching your videos. Beautiful job always 👏
A trick for you have you ever put a wet towel on concreate if you run up too it and jump on it it sticks like glue I yous a wet towel on the bottom of my ladders it's great.
Nice work bud, it’s killer on the shoulders though 😂😬
thanks buddy, you're telling me , had to have a few days off after that :D
Great job mate 👍🏻
Cheers Neil appreciate the support 👍👍👍
i noticed you don't put any sheets out to catch the moss, is that not a nightmare when trying to tidy up at the end? particularly when moss it damp .
Sometimes it’s a pain in the butt, it is easier with tarp but I was running limited space mainly, I’ve just bought a nice van so will finally have space for little benefits like a huge sheet of tarp :D
Amazing job as always! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Why can't it be pressure washed? Would it damage the roof? I've seen other channels do it so I'm a bit confused about the whole situation lol. Anyway, I LOVE this channel. You always do above satisfactory work!!
I choose not to for most jobs as with older roofs there can be a decent risk of water damage leaking into the property, I also work alone so it can be a safety issue not having a man on the ground incase something goes wrong with the machine.
I find the majority of my customers don't want pressure used on the roof too.
Thank you missy for all the support :D
awesome.
Thanks!
This channel is how I learned that they don't really use shingles over there. This is cool to watch but was VERY confusing at first because you do NOT want to do all this stuff with a shingled roof.
I knew ceramic ones were common in some places (and in some parts of the u.s.) but I never really considered how you would need to clean them in wetter climates.
Great job 👌🏻
Thanks Craig 👍👍
Hello great video, I'm wondering how long it took you to scrap the moss off the whole front of the house just say with the scraper ? I have ordered the exact set up you have. Just trying to get an idea how long this took you, even just for the front of the house. I'm guessing four to five hours ?
was a while ago so cant full remember but yeah roughly 5 hours, with a scaffolding tower nowdays i'd get that front done in 2 or 3 hours
Love your channel mate and love your videos! I'm from Leicester and know which church you were at. Well done for holding your ground and not standing for his shit! Leicester isn't as bad as your experience today- honest haha
hahah thanks dilan, in all honesty every city centre is the same really, you just get a big mix of rush, anger and bitterness :D I grew up 10 mins from birmingham city centre so im used to it :D
Just wondering how difficult to walk on this tiles. Do you think this will easily break?
Hi Sid, quick question, would you apply the biocide if the roof is wet/damp? rarely this time of year do roofs dry so i'm assuming the biocide wouldn't dry either.
yeah its okay if its damp theres no harm done with that as your solution is diluted heavily anyway, as long as it sits on the roof and has time to soak in all is well. The only problem is it being too cold or if it rains within the same day it can overdilute it/wash it away. sometimes it cant be helped and the weather comes out of nowhere so just keep an eye on it and same ill be back in 3-6 months to see how its getting on. If its not doing well ill retreat.
Your videos are really helpful 👍🏼. What size are your ladders?
Hi Bobby, thanks mate I’m glad I can help! It’s a 6m double extension 👍
Would you mind letting me know the rough cost for a job like this please?
Also what scraper and pole do you have there? Looks like gucci gear
Would you say the freeman scrapers are better than the spinaclean ones ?
I havnt really used the other ones to be honest but id buy the flexi scraper just for the customer support and its very easy to get in touch with steve who invented it. It's a great tool.
Why not work off a roof ladder, i cant see how you get it all off using the pole at the ridge. Pressure/angle etc
Quality 👌🏻
Thank you buddy!
Can I ask why have you chosen to scrap rather than the v tuf and steam you used in a previous video? Is it condition of roof or just personal choice?
Fabberoony result sid xx
Thank you Emma :D!
Cant believe you do it off a ladder....id never use one again..fell off one..knee cap.😢😢😢
Is half nine 830 or 930?
Hi Sid...how do you get most of your jobs...internet,flyers,word of mouth etc ?
internet mainly mate, secondly to that is worth of mouth. I still have never posted a leaflet for roof cleaning, I will start soon tohugh im jsut having some made
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning ok,thanks.
Hi, I’m not from your area, or else I’d get you to give me a quote! Can you tell me what you use to spray on the roof and where I could purchase it from please? Many thanks.
GKPRO DDAC Biocide from gkpro.co.uk, code 10566 - For 10% off your first order (:
Say m8 how much algo do you use on a 3 bed semi like the one your doing liters
Usually 2-3 litres mate
Great just adding roof cleaning to my window cleaning as add on vids are good m8
@@babs202020 Good luck mate, need any advice just ask.
Will do m8 your not to far from us dont get as far as mansfield area do find you more roof jobs in spring
@@babs202020 sorry mate only just saw this. weirdly enough ive had more roof jobs from november - january than i did in spring. harder in the winter but the markets there so crack on. if you ever need a hand for a day give me a shout and ill pop down and smash out a day with you !
What size scaffolding tower would you say I need for my roof cleans you know more than me ?
Hi mate you want roughly a 6m one, that should be 6m working height. Or as close to as possible, some are 5.7 which is fine. The average gutter line is around 6m so you want to be as close to that as possible and factor in your height and it’s easy work. Or so I’ve heard ;)
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thanks for your help mate your a top bloke I was looking at the 7m ones which should be more than enough which ones are recommended as I’m guessing there will be a lot of crap out there
Any time mate let me know how it goes and where you end up getting yours from 👍
Aww why is the camera far away
I'm at work, watching other people work.
Times nowadays are weird. =P
thank you!
Did the neighbours with the mossy roof on the left have you back to do theirs?
Great vid man, do you do solar panels ?
yeah man!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning What's the process ?
Chemicals ?
no it's not the last not until snow comes.
You need a tool that is electric that has brushes on it and you can remote control it. A sort of rotating brush with an attached hose that can go to the ground and fill a large garbage can with the moss. Just a though from a 75 year old who would like to make your work a little easier. That long pole doesn't look like any fun to use and your arms must kill you by the end of the day. You do a great job.
Hi,what pole are you using?
Renegade 30ft!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thanks
why dont you hose it down after scraping would'nt that be easy
Hi where do you get the roof scrapers from ?
Flexi scraper, sky scraper. Google either of those :)
Cheers I'll have a look now.
Can you any telescopic pole? I'm planning on using one that connects to a jet wash and wash down afterwards?
They ain't cheap lol.
???? Any clue ????
Hi mate I can’t give any advice of pressure washing conversions for poles but I use the renegade 30ft for scraping and now an ova8 40 ft for softwashing
genuine question, not criticism. in this type of scenario where you need to put the blade at and angle to dig into the edge of the tiles, is it not easier to attack the roof from the gable end? i need to do my roof and its the same setup so appreciate your thoughts
Yes mate much easier if there’s room, it can feel very awkward being at a slant off ladders though, you’ll know what I mean if you try it! Easier if you have a scaffold tower at the end 👍
🌹✌♣#roofcleaning How long did it take this man to clean the rooftop?? Does anyone know?? That's a big job...#Tooshies #iRoam #Queensland #Australia 🌹✌♠
Two days altogether!
very nice..what biocide do you use.
Cheers Allan, using Algoclear PRO at the moment 👍
Разительная разница конечно… это же надо так дом запустить((
You must get a load of new customers from doing one house in a road like that.
Makes the neighbour look doubly bad!
Use a pressure washer.
collect the moss. make gas from the moss.
You need a cherry picker on a trailer. What you are doing with a ladder is dangerous and crazy. The first accident will be your last. Where is the safety gear? If you want a preview of coming attractions go to any hospital. Think family, stay safe.
