Here we jet wash the flat concrete tiles on this roof using around 100 bar through a turbo nozzle.
Then we soft washed to kill off any remaining algae, moss or lichen and also to brighten up the tiles.
This roof ended up looking almost new, with one very happy customer once the whole roof was completed.

Thanks so much Sandi, always love to read your comments, Ben and I are good friends, he's a top bloke, and good at his job too. We both think highly of you too 🤗
Such kind words Nick, needed that smile!! Have a wonderful day, and look forward to many more amazing videos!!😊
Amazing job well done 👏🏼 I’ve just ordered myself a wfp conversion kit tonight.. usually I scrape and biocide at the end but actually hated doing roofs because it’s so bloody hard work- this should change the game and customers should be a lot happier with instant results 😜
Many thanks Chris. 👍
30+ years of muck of in o e go. Great work. Looks great
Many thanks criartoros 👍

Yay! 50th Like from Me! 😁❤️
Hi S.J. , wow, thanks a lot. I really appreciate your support for my channel, your likes really help my channel grow. Huge thank you and thumbs up from me 👍🙂.
09/5 23, Sodium Hypochlorite - isn't that Bleach ? Is there a final coating for concrete roof tiles ? How long does a good clean last ? If the roof is'nt too bad can it be done with a hose pipe & pressured water ?
Hi mate results look brilliant, just wondering why you would hypo after pressure washing? its already achieved perfect results by the looks of it. wouldnt it be more worth the time to bio instead if youre hoping to prevent anything growing back.
Hi, thanks for your comment! I hypo to brighten the tiles and "polish" them off so they look near perfect (the camera doesn't show the darker, patchy appearance of the tiles) plus it kills off any tiny bits of moss, algae or lichen left behind, insuring the roof stays looking better for much longer. Technically hypo can also be classed a biocide. I've got nothing against using bio like Algoclear Pro or Bac50, they're great products, I use them when I need to. The issue I have with them is that most biocides need 12-24 hours to be fully effective, and with our good old English weather, the risk of rain diluting the bio can be a real problem. It's extremely difficult to clean and bio a roof in winter without the bio getting diluted or even washed off, effecting the results or having to re-apply it.
Neither hypo or bio stop anything growing back, they just kill what's there dead, so it has to re-grow from scratch, which takes many, many years, but of course can vary depending on the environment.
To cut a long story short, I favour hypo over bio because hypo kills all organic matter dead and burns itself out within a hour or two, so it doesn't matter if it rains after that. Bio, while it's a great product, doesn't give quick results (which most of my customers want) and can be risky, due to being caught out by the rain, especially in winter.
Hi guys just buttin in here, regarding Hypo, can you give me more info on this Matthew please thank you very much, yes on going and I’m still learning, thank you very much
@@grondheise Hi grondheise, hypo is sodium hypochlorite (SH) (bleach), it's commonly used to kill organic matter on exterior hard surfaces like roof tiles or patios and driveways.
Hi, loving the videos. Is this one just cold water at a low pressure?
Hi Steve, thanks a lot. Yeah, cold water on low pressure on this one, that's how I clean most of the roofs I do. 🙂👍.
So once you have the power pole does that just simply connect to a standard outside tap? Silly question I know but was wondering if you connect it to any backpack kits etc? Thanks & great vid 😬
Hi Charlie. The power pole needs to be attached to a pressure washer. Something like this www.rutlandpumps.com/watertek-pro-honda-gx390-15-lpm-250-bar-mazzoni-pressure-washer.html
Hi, I love your company. Great videos! Are there any types of roofs in the UK where you wouldn’t use sodium hypo to avoid damaging the tiles? Just curious
Cheers Tom, using hypo on slate can be risky
Great video mate really satisfying watching the muck just get washed away so easily, sorry if you have been asked this before but what kit was used in this video to get them results?
Cheers bud. I used a Honda GX390 running on low pressure, and I used this power pole www.rutlandpumps.com/power-pole-extending-lance.html with this turbo nozzle attached www.rutlandpumps.com/ur25-turbo-nozzle-250-bar-29-lpm.html
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning thanks very much for the reply and info, the channel is great mate enjoy every single one u put out
@@csutton140784 Thanks mate, I really appreciate that 👍👍
What’s the tool you used?
Good Video, which nozzle did you use for pressure wash
Thanks, I used a turbo nozzle 👍
Hi man so with this pole you do not need a soft washer skid nor pressure washer?
You still need something to pump the chemical onto the roof through the pole, using something like this is the cheapest way to get into it.

Hi I’m looking to buy the new unger wfp when released this month also I have a slipstream pro 21GT pressure washer. Can I pair them together to clean the roof like you have here? What attachment is that? Sorry new business venture just educating myself. Thanks for your help and time
Hi Buddy, no problem at all, happy to help. It's the conversion kit that fits to any wfp, that then pairs your pressure washer to the pole. This is the kit you need www.acpressurewashers.co.uk/product/full-wfp-high-pressure-conversion-kit-35ft/?v=79cba1185463 👍
Thank you. What pole do you find best for the mosmatic cleaner? Is it easy to switch between Lance, mosmatic head and brush?
@@buddybrown2965 I don’t think it really matters what brand is used, but would recommend it being carbon fibre. I would advise having two separate poles, one for the pressure washing and one for soft washing, as it would take too long swapping them over as it’s not a quick easy thing to do. I use a 35 ft Facelift phantom for the pressure washing and a 35ft Gardiner SLX for the soft wash
Hi does applying Hypochlorite with power washer damage pump (cat pump )
Hi, yeah it does, I wouldn't recommend it.
I have a honda gp200. Do you think it would have the same effect?
Yep
Hi can I ask the length of that pole? I’ve just ordered a 30ft power pole setup from Rutland, it’s a facelift the one I’ve ordered
Hi Dean, What you've just ordered is exactly what i've got, although i've added another section to mine, as i found that on occasion, 30 foot wasn't quite long enough 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning thanks for the reply, currently watching another one of your videos. Can I ask how long this job in the video took you to complete? I know how much I want to be charging a day but I’ve got a bit to learn on job timeframes and don’t want to be under valueing the trade
Good job ma man !! What is the name of your carbon pole, please and thank you 🙏
Hiya mate, thanks your comment, the carbon fibre pole is a Facelift Phantom with a 35 foot reach.
Prestige External Cleaning it’s heavy this equipment ?
@@Carvalhol10 Hi, no it's not that heavy, the pole is made of carbon fibre and the pressure of the water coming from the nozzle counter balances the weight of the pole when it's at length. I hope that helps!
@PrestigeExternalCleaning hi there, thanks for the video! Very satisfying to watch ! What PSI do you use for roofs ? Thanks
Hey, I would like to find out if you are using a pressure washer or an electrical agricultural sprayer? if you used a pressure washer, is it not unsafe to use Sodium hypochlorite with your pressure washer?
Hi, the SH was applied using a battery powered backpack sprayer, we don't apply it using a pressure washer.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning how much that backpower got PSI, to do that job with pool
@@slavencvijic4846 Hi Slaven, the backpack has a 60psi pump attached. Sorry, i'm not sure what " to do that job with pool" means.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning lol..sory my english. can work with a 10 m (35ft) telescope without any problems, achieve sufficient pressure
@@slavencvijic4846 Please don't apologise, I cannot speak another language, so I have a lot respect for anyone who can. Yes, the pressure is not a problem, I have never experienced any issues.
Do you rinse the hypo off after a certain amount of time or is it just left on?
Just leave it on, it burns out after a few hours.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Thanks for your help, sorry to ask so much but what ratio would you use?
@@TonyBecks1969 3 or 4 to 1 👍
one roof cleaner has told me you should not use sodium hypochlorite on roof tiles... is this true?
Lol 😂, no it’s definitely not true. Ask that roof cleaner to explain exactly why he says you can’t use hypo on a roof, I bet you a million quid he won’t come back with a credible answer. The “roof cleaner” that told you that hasn’t got a clue what he’s talking about.🤦🏻♂️
What pole was you using mate
This one bud www.rutlandpumps.com/watertek-one-man-carbon-power-pole-30ft-m22-inout.html
Hi friend what chemical do you use on the roof
Hi maz man, It's Sodium Hypochlorite (SH) (Bleach) (hypo)
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning great video . The
water fed pole is very useful . Sh doesn't work great. In ireland it's our climate .
@@mazman8343 Thanks mate, yeah it works pretty well here, this roof clean was literally round the corner from where I live, so I go past it a lot. Even a year later, I still get comments from friends and family that say it looks like a new roof.
The moss will soon grow back as it's still between the tiles
