Thanks for the video again Ashley. This roof tile is a hell of job just using roof scraper. I lost money on a roof like this scrapping a one day job ended up being a day and 1/4 over.. so low pressure washing and chems is definitely the way forward.. top man Ashley 😁👍👍
Many opinions on this subject. Very balanced view of roof cleaning and completely agree with your cleaning method. 👍
Really satisfying to watch this and you did an excellent job 👏
Thanks! Glad you liked it.🤩👍🏼
Fantastic job as always, just so satisfying to watch. Thank you for sharing. 💯%👍🤗
Thanks!🤩👍🏼
wow what a difference your cleaning has made. Fabulous.
Thanks for your comment.🤩👍🏼
Great job Ashley, love the jobs where you can uncover so much colour on the tiles. We have a similar bungalow roof coming up on our channel that is a similar transformation
So satisfying!😉👍🏼
Lovely job I really enjoyed watching it
That’s great! Thanks.🤩👍🏼
the best instructor A.E.!
You’re too kind.🤩👍🏼
Looking great m8❤
Great vid Ash, like most will say every roof/situation/customer different. As long as job is well done and all are happy we get paid 👍
There are people trying to get into roof cleaning who are not even familiar with what a pressure washer can do, but I think it’s good to get some experience using one on the ground first.
Great video Ashley the pressure for that It may be is lower one is that correct ...!!! It doesn't matter what the people say as long as the costumer are happier the method that you using on that It's the best for the treatment on that roof and others that's why the customers don't calling anymore well done ...!!
Thanks!🤩👍🏼
That’s a beauty 👌
Mighty job again ash...well done....what is the name of the brush you use on the end of the pole for applying the biocide?
beau boulot mon pote !!😀😀
Thanks!🤩👍🏼
Love these kind of jobs. Do u use 1503 or 1504 jets mate?
Can you go about how you go calculate the square meters and pricing?
What size jets & what size is your pressure washer ?
Another great vid Ash, can I ask please what do you use to power the biocide in the pole? Do you use a dostron? Or another method to power it up the pole?
Many thanks for any help, just about to start buying my roof cleaning kit and unsure which road to go for that? Thanks
Steve
I don’t like the Dosatron systems, the biocide solution is too thick for it. I prefer a pump trolley setup which will easily pump the solution from ready mixed barrels.👍🏼
Nice work Ash, best way to clean for me. What pressure are you running it at?
Using my 21litre per minute machine, I reduce the pressure down to about 2000psi.👍🏼
You said you detatch the down pipes so the bioside dos`nt get in the water course. Do you catch it and what do you do with that excess ???
Hi,been thinking of jumping on a set up as a bolt on service to my grounds maintenance business,but not sure between a hot box or cold pressure washing soft wash roof clean set up,but cost will differ,as looking for best results. Great content as always.
I think cold pressure is enough personally. Hot water is a lot of extra expense for very few actual benefits. You can start with cold pressure and add a hot box later if you want.
Hot water is just not enough. Totally my opinion. Unless you use some chemical to soften the mold, it's just a lot... This also depends on what the tiles are settled on. I must say that it really looks beautiful on the outcome... My opinion about such a work is that an acidic product is putted before the final cleaning. That roof looks like it's been over 20 years since it was installed and never was cleaned. I really would like to see that it's exactly like you say 😮.
Great results - what trigger do you have on your pole and what do you call the pressure gauge / release value on your pressure washer - looking to get one of those -
My kit is from Rutland Pumps. Give them a call and ask for the setup I have. They will help you out.👍🏼
Hi, I love watching your videos.I would also like to start a roof washing business in my country. may I ask where I can buy a telescopic pole for mos matic, the same set as you use?
All the details about the tool I’m using and the proper techniques are now in my training course:
www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/pressure-washing-tools-and-techniques
Are you using a hot water system or just cold ? Great video always watch 90% of your stuff 😂 and will be back listening to your podcast not listened in a while.
Cold water.👍🏼
Can you guide us through the wheelie bin setup please I'm looking to do do the same
Check out the pressure washing playlist on my channel.😉👍🏼
❤ wow I would love to work with you I'm from Ghana and I have cleaning company I'll be happy that you will talk more
Hi just want to know what psi do you use cleaning the roofs many thanks shaun
I have my 21 litre per minute machine turned down to about 2000psi.👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥
Hi. What nozzle size do you prefer for the smaller flat surface cleaner on roofs...especially for non flat roof tiles?
Thanks
I’m using 15degree nozzles.👍🏼
Where did you get the scaffolding tower from ?I was thinking of getting one, there no reputable roof cleaners near where I live so I would rather do it myself. Thank you for the video 👍🏻
Morning.
Do you ever have any issues with the surface cleaner on deep contour tiles? Would the rotating bar hit the tile and would you still get an equal clean?
Just bought a set up to use here in Ireland and going to do my first roof this week.
I’ve been just a scrape and biocide operator until now.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. Matthew
You have to be really careful with the fsc on these tiles. It can depend on how stubborn the moss is. Sometimes it can really cling on in the bottom of those grooves. I might increase the pressure slightly on these. But I always treat with biocide afterwards to make sure anything that might be left behind is killed off.
Biocide! That's a fantastic name for an acid product. Make it look bio and it's basically an acid! Otherwise it wouldn't be there doing nothing!
Good results Ash, how'd you get on with the biocide if it's a on/off drizzly day?
I find this so hard just to clean it with water. I'm really sorry but just water with no solution on it is very tough for me to believe in this.
Any tips how best to get a straight clean line between customers and neighbours roof on a semi detached? Thanks.
Follow the line of the tile down the roof.
It’s nice you are helping other guys. Keep up the good work :) . Ecc. 3:12,13
Thanks!🤩👍🏼
Thx for the info, you use here 8 inch the other video Roof tools you use 12 inch?
I use a 12 inch mosmatic for roofs.👍🏼
Would you use the same set up and pressures on painted concrete roof tiles?
All concrete tiles are painted
Hi Ashley what sort of pressure you runnning your machine at for roof cleans ??
I’ve just found my answers in the comments 😅
Brother i dont speak english but you can Tell me where you you this machine i need to buy
What do you do with all the moss after removal? Do you take it away or is it left for the customer to depose of?
Great channel btw
I will ask the customer, and put the mess on a compost heap, or discreetly under a bush, or even on a flower bed, it’s good for the soil.👍🏼
Hi Ashley,
I'm in the process of cleaning a garage roof at the moment.
When applying the biocide what shall I do about it running off into the Gutters? I heard you mention about detaching the downpipes, can you explain the process please 🙏
Also how does it work with using the pressure washer on the tiles and changing the pressure?
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks for the great videos
If you detach the top of the down pipe at the gooseneck, that’s usually the easiest place to disconnect the gutter. You can adjust the pressure of your machine by twisting the unloader valve.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh what do you do with the collected run off mate?
What equipment are you using here for the roof cleaning and what’s the chemical used as an added extra value at the end thanks
I’m using a flat surface cleaner.👍🏼
Is it hard or the back with this extension pole? I always get on the roof and clean it with turbo nozzle’s
It can be hard on your back, you don’t want to twist it, but it’s harder on your arms and shoulders I suppose. I’m not keen on using a turbo nozzle. This method is more gentle and the pressure balances the weight of the tool.
Hello , just question what sort of psi if that roof surface cleaner on please 😊
I turn it down to about 2000psi.
What would you consider to be the most effective biocide ?.
Hi , Can you recommend some good anti-vibration gloves for working with the lance for many hours?
Good idea. I get gloves from Mstore.👍🏼
Hey Ashley, I'm considering starting up my own pure water fed pole window cleaning and I have a couple of questions.
Whilst water fed pole cleaning does not require a squeegee or cloths for detailing, would you say it's necessary to use or can one use these for better detailing?
I would really appreciate your feedback.
Love the great work you do.
No need whatsoever
@@benndarnbrough6422 got you! Would you say it's a waste of time wiping down sills etc and just not necessary?
The whole idea is that the pure water dries without leaving any residue. If you start wiping thing’s before it dries you will introduce contamination that will leave spotting.
@@aemackintosh thank you so much.
@@aemackintosh can you make a video of your sprinter van, cost for each equipment including all electrical works. Abd installation process with the large water tank and how you filter the water.
I meant to ask you yesterday Ash and forgot...does the suction hose and return hose just sit in the wheelie bin...cheers martin
Ah yes, in all the excitement it’s easy to miss these things. The suction and return hoses sit in the bin with the hose from the tap, then we close the lid to keep them in place and stop debris getting into the water. Rutland pumps do supply a kit with hose fittings and a float valve (a bit like what’s in your toilet) so the water will automatically shut off if it gets to the top. 👍🏼
@@aemackintosh cheers Ash
what biocide are you using, I find a lot of them send the tiles yellow
? Not sure if you’re using biocide?
Could you make a video about the gear you use in the video?
Check this out:
th-cam.com/video/vZ-Yz545P7Y/w-d-xo.html
Thx for the grrat advice in tbe videi. Ive found out that they ship worldwide. Is there anyway you can help me out getting the same version as you have? Or can i contact you in any way? Thx alot mate!
If you get in touch with Rutland Pumps and say you want the same setup as me, they will sort you out. Just give them a call.😉👍🏼
Do you use the same pole for Biocide treatment Asley or do you have separate pole. obviously you have to change the fittings.
Thanks.
You can use the same pole I suppose, but it’s easier and quicker to have different poles setup for different things.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Iv only just brought my setup from rutland pumps and wondering what biocide pack i need.
Could you advise please.
And thank you for reply Ashly Appreciate it.

Hi ash
What is a safe psi to put through the surface cleaner here without damaging the roof
Every roof is different. I start at around 2000psi.
Thanks for the reply appreciate it and I really like your content very informative your killing it wish you continued success👍🏼
Hi mate, what pressure would you advise for the surface cleaner on roof tiles?? Thankyou
It’s not as simple as that. You need the right pressure, litres per minute, accessory/tool, and fan jets.
www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/pressure-washing-tools-and-techniques
@aemackintosh yes I'm aware of that I have everything and have been cleaning roofs with this system with great results,but just wondered was there a maximum pressure that keeps it safe for the tiles but still gives a good clean
@@scottmclean6416 each job is different and it depends totally on the type of tile and how bad the moss is.
Do you use high temp or just your presure from mini surface cleaner?
Just low pressure, cold water.
@aemackintosh and you dont have any issuse with cleaning or damage? As ive seen stuff about saying dont pressure wash roofs? Or is this just americans asfalt roofs? And concrete/slate roofing tiles are ok for it?
I use a specialist setup.
Hi Ash...
Do you still use the Dose Demon when applying the Biocide.?
If so , are they worth the expense..?
Cheers mate...
Noooo! Hate those things! Dosatron systems just don’t work, the biocide is too think and it ends up just clogging up the Dosatron. Get yourself a good pump setup.👍🏼
I have the Big Boy backpack..
It's just a lot of messing about .
I have lots of moss cleaning on roofs to do after Easter.
I thought it might be easier....
But thank you for your reply.....
Any suggestions for a good pump set up..?
I love the Pure Freedom trolley.👍🏼
Last question Ash..!
Can Algoclear Pro go through the Pure FreedomTrolley.?
Do you own your own tower or do you hire it?
I have my own scaffolding.👍🏼
Keep doing what you're doing. Every roof is different, every cleaner and customer has a preference as to what method to use.
The yanks haven't a clue about anything beyond bleach because they don't have to deal with the moss that we do 🤷
Thanks! Yeah, we have such a wide variety of situations to deal with, every job is a new challenge.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Hi, can you please send me a the link to the brush you used to apply chemical ? Thanks
@@aemackintosh how much do you clean a square meter for my friend?
Toothbrush is the best method.
I can’t believe I used to use those tiny scrapers and wire brushes!😆 I did one the other day because the customer insisted and I wish I had never agreed to it.🥵
