Great bit of kit
Smashing transformation Ash. Who knew black could turn orange. Bet the customer was happy. That new kit looks great.
Thanks for your comments. Sometimes you just don’t know what colour the tiles will be until you start cleaning them.😃👍🏼
With a cup of tea!! ☕
🫖😃👍🏼
Good video Ashley those pump boxes look really good from WCW 👍That music at the start sounds like the old Grange Hill theme tune 🤣!!!
😆👍🏼
Umm the GK Pro mix you used sounds light if i heard you right. 100ml in 25l or 20l container is imo light. I use 1:25 ratio normally and that gives just under a 2 percent DDAC solution. That would be about 1 liter of concentrate DDAC@50% into 25l container. Could just be a mispeak on the video. Kudos on the effort and doing the video. Quality content!
Thanks. Yes it was a weak mix, got my calculations a bit wrong there!🤦🏻♂️ But still, can’t believe how well it foamed up. There is a theory that you don’t need such a strong mix of the surface you are treating isn’t so dirty. But yes, 1:25 is the usual suggested strength for roofs, to make things simpler.😃👍🏼
Quality as always, really enjoy your videos.👍🏻
Great. Thanks.😃👍🏼
So satisfying 👍🏻
Yes indeed.😃👍🏼
great job, and very intresting is the explaining part !
keep on making good en nice work
Thanks. I’m glad you found it useful.😃👍🏼
Great video Ashley, I'm looking at getting into render cleaning using tap water pressure through a dosatron, rather than a backpack, this would be ideal to boost the pressure if need be.
Thanks.😃👍🏼
Hello. I follow you and like your clips. How difficult is it to work with such a long resume? And can the pressure damage the tile?
Hi ash,
When you get a chance, can you possibly show a video of how the clean up goes. I’m looking into getting a mossmatic something similar but I know there will be a big clean up operation.
Is a case of having to wash the whole building down then scoop all the debris off the floor?
At least when scraping it’s usually quite dry to pick up!
Cheers
Yes, exactly, the clean up is a large part of the job. We use sheeting to catch the worst of the debris but also the gutters need cleaning out and everything needs rinsing down.😃👍🏼
Awesome results mate. Typically how many times did you have to fill the barrel on a roof of this size please. **just read the comments, 2 barrels*
😎👍🏼
Hi Ahsley, can you send me the link to brushs suitable for roof cleaning ? Thank you.
How long does the battery last on this box p,ease Ashley? Thanks
This or the gkpro , gkpro seems the way to go thinking of getting it would you recommend the gkpro
Hi Ashley good job but personally I think it's too messy it's all gone down the walls and windows and your going to have to clean up all that saturated moss rather than scrape it and clean it up dry and easy.
GKpro is 1 litre to 25 litres of water similar to Algo clear which is 1 litre to 20 litres of water but the DDAC on also clear is 40% where as GKpro is 50% plus its slightly thicker so it goes on the surfaces better and clings on much better.
It's also Acid free Bleach free and non Cuastic.👍
Yes, sounds like you have got all the info. This method gets great results, but yes, a lot of the work is in the clean up. The price allows for this and the job is far less tedious than scraping. Also, the strength of biocide mix required is also dependent on the amount of organic matter on the surface as well as atmospheric temperature. They often give a standard dilution rate on the packet to make it easier for us, but since I got it so clean, less biocide would actually be required. Maybe I could have done with a slightly stronger mix, but actually I was very impressed with how well it foamed up and covered the surface.👌🏼😃
@@aemackintosh Good Good it dont matter how clean the roof is the mix ratio is same always we only scrape or jet wash the moss to give the fluid more of a helping hand and it's easier to apply to the roof or What ever surface your applying to.
If you don't have many weeds in your garden you don't dilute the mixture so weaken it.
Not being funny just my thoughts on the matter 👍
Hi, can ask where did you buy the barrel/Jerry can from?
Hi
How much is the black box unit pictured above.? please send me the details
Thanks
It’s from Window Cleaning Warehouse
Why not a softwash system? Be done in a couple hours with much better results.
Not sure exactly what you mean? I don’t use hypo on roofs if that’s what you mean?
Hi Ashley, have you thought about where these chemicals go, once they have come off the roofs and driveways and into the surface water sewers?
This is something on conscious about, and really thinking of not using chemicals. It’s a personal decision and each to their own but spraying chemicals doesn’t sit well with me.
How do you mix the chemical ?
Half water, add chemical, add the rest of water ?
Does it mix if left or do you need to agitate the container for consistent mix?
Cheers & Thanks
Yeah, add it to half a barrel of water and then top it up.👍🏼
Very helpful video Ash, going to get into roofs in March and am just trying to get my set up just now. Thank you the information.
How much do these boxes cost?
Thanks
Steve
Think it’s about £400? Check it out at Window Cleaning Warehouse.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thank you, will check out the website. 👍
Hi Ashley, what about using the X line brush, the one with the long rinse bar that you featured in a video recently? Anyway thanks for the video! I was about to get a backpack to apply biocide but now it's a no brainer to get this awesome bit of kit!
Yeah, this is next level from a backpack. Could do with a little set of wheels for it or something. The Xline brush is not a bad idea either.😉👍🏼
Great job ! Can you out acid through the pump ?
Like brick acid? I’m not entirely sure about that one. The pump is resistant to hypo, but acid might be a bit of a different ball game?
Thanks for the video....thinking of buying an all in one box from WCW but can I ask please......1) with the battery not being charged while you're working, roughly how long would it last for? I'm guessing you didn't need to charge it during this job, for example? 2) you briefly showed a charging point on the box....does that allow the battery to plug straight into a mains supply to charge it? Lastly, I see you can get a decent flow through a water fed pole, but if it was attached to a spray gun instead, would it give a decent spray/ jet, for example anywhere near to a standard flow from a tap? Hope you don't mind the questions but wanted to check before I buy! Much appreciated
It comes with a charger, and it should last all day. The pressure is similar to a water fed pole window cleaning setup. You can also buy a spray nozzle from the same place that would suit it.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thank you so much 👍
Hi Ash , do you know anyone who sells just the 25litre lid connection with the pipe to get the chemical out the drum , I can’t seem to find one anywhere ? Thanks
Don’t think so, it’s their own little modification. It’s not difficult to do, just drill a hole in the lid basically.😉👍🏼
Love the videos Ashley great advice , with that roof can you just scrape it rather than use the surface cleaner if you didn’t have a surface cleaner and also do you use a DIY scaffolding for 2 storeys properties or just a normal ladder ?
Yeah you can scrape and biocide. You won’t get the instant results, but it’s a good option. I have my own scaffolding.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks for the tips Ashley , what meter scaffolding do you recommend for 2 storey properties ?
6meter.👍🏼
Hey Ash hope your well mate? Great video really enjoyed it, packed with info!
Is this now your constant go too for chemical application or are you using something else these days?
I’m weighing up either this, the dosatron or the bio chemical box from gvs.
Even though you have to mix yourself I like that you can run hypo through so feels more versatile than the other 2 options
Thanks for your comments. I’ve been trying a couple of Dosatron boxes but I don’t get on with them very well actually. I am preferring a pump system for chemical applications.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh pleasure mate this was one of your best, what pumps systems are you trialing out or have you decided on one to use for all your chemical needs?
What's the circle fitting called on your pole when you was cleaning the tiles mate ,??
It’s a 12 inch mosmatic fsc. There is a link in the description to a video about the tool I am using.😃👍🏼
Hi ash, what’s the connections your using from box to pole?
The box has series 26 connectors so I use a short length of garden hose from the box with a garden hose connector on the other end, the I have a neat little adapter for that which will then allow me to connect my usual pole hose to it.👍🏼
Hi mate. Another great video. Question. What type of pole hose do you use/recommend? I'm on the hunt as I currently use streamline blue 6mm on the poles but it's not durable enough. Thanks
I tend to use any hose I can get my hands on. A lot of those hoses are quite rigid at first but they wear in over time. I actually quite like the Gardiner pole hose. But I bought 50m of cheap clear pole hose one time and I love it. Just goes to show that it’s not always the expensive accessories that are the best.😆👍🏼
awesome job, where did you get the pole and turbo devil?
I put a link in the description to a video that explains about the pressure washing tool I am using.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks I will check it out
Hi I’m just starting out & some advice I’m going to be ordering my pump from Darren a DA components more than likely using Algo clear! I’ve brought a 120L blue barrel to feed my water from as it’s my understanding is a 1 to 20 mix so nice and easy 29l of biocide 100l of water? Would this work or am I way off
Thanks George
(Thank you for the great content)
Sounds good. But I think that container might be a bit large. This roof was about 100m2 and I used just two 25litre barrels of mixed solution.👍🏼
Can I ask what scaffold do you use? 😁 btw great videos keep it up 😄
Thanks. I’m using an Mi tower.😃👍🏼
Thank you very much 😁😁
Hi Ashley, would it be possible to use sodium hypochlorite with this pump box?
Yes. But I would recommend flushing it through with water afterwards.👍🏼
1 25 litre barrel covered the whole roof?
2 barrels of mixed solution. The roof was about 100m2.😃👍🏼
How many times did you have to fill the 25L barrel?
This job was about 100m2 and I used two full barrels of mixed solution.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh so the total amount of solution would of been slightly over 200ml? Thanks 🤙🏼
I was using a very weak mix here since I had cleaned the vast majority of the dirt away. The normal recommended dose is more like 1000ml per 25 litre drum of water.😃👍🏼
How we're the shoulders after that?
Not too bad. This was a fairly straightforward roof with no awkward angles, and I love to use the brush for the biocide application because it takes the weight of the pole.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley I thought gk Pro was 1 part to 25 parts so shouldnt that have been 1000ml of Gk Pro not 100ml?
Yes, you are right!🤦🏻♂️ My first time using it. I realised after. I will get it right next time. It still foamed up pretty well!😆👍🏼
That Cool was just checking thought I was using too much for a sec 😂
Did you say 100ml? You need 500ml in 25ltr to get a 1% solution
Yes, you should follow the directions on the label. But since I’ve cleaned away most of the bio film I’ve only done a weak mix.😉👍🏼
I'd give your pressure washer a good clean and polish
Yeah, I know what you mean, after seeing Squeeky Dave’s nice new one! It’s been a very reliable machine for me. Seen a bit of hard work in it’s time.😆👍🏼

Jesus some moneys worth there 🙌 🙏
😎👍🏼
Ah... So the roof tiles are Orange colored?
😎👍🏼

Paying at least £200 just for that fancy box…..
Try just short of £500 inc VAT
@@will1947 box alone
