Hello sir if you are in Australia 🇦🇺 please meet me for beer 🍺 and bbq 🍖 plz
Thanks! I’m based in the UK but thanks for the offer I really appreciate it. I will have to let you know if I ever visit Australia.😎👍🏼
Hello sir you are really handsome gentlemen 😉
Thanks!😆👍🏼
Should this only be done in the summer as I’ve heard the rain will wash away the treatment
I’ve heard that if the treatment has at least 24/48h it should be fine
There is a maximum and minimum temperature for the chemical to work. So basically, as long as it’s not scorching hot or freezing cold, and it’s a dry day, you’re good to go.👍🏼
what poles do u use
You need a high-mod carbon pole. I’m using the Unger pole.👍🏼
When does the lichen disappear?
Great vid, whag product did you use?
Algoclear.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thank you, I'm having scaffolding put up for a solar install so might as well clean it and apply some.
Stunning results mate I find it a bit of a hard sell with the Algo clear to say to customers it will brighten up over the next few months where as with Hypo its instant I try to combine the 2 and Hypo first rinse off then spray Algo Clear on and leave it at least this way the customer sees an instant result although it's more Labour intensive.
I Think it helps with an instant result rather than a customer thinking I've paid x amount and it don't look much better
It depends on how you pitch it to the customer I suppose. Hypo can be damaging to the felt under the tiles. The moss removal is the instant bit and the AlgoClear is preventative as well as giving that improvement over time. I should have said this on the video, but it’s great maintenance to treat the roof every 2-3years to keep it in great condition.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh that's very true maybe you could do a video on cleaning chemicals and explain the pros and cons for rof and patio cleaning when using a certain chemical that would be great thanks Ash
So many videos, so little time!😆👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I know I keep meaning to videos but flat out just can't keep up lol
Great video. I’ve had a quote for roof cleaning and am tempted to go with the moss and biocide as it’s more in budget than steam cleaning… if I’m patient will I get similar results in time?
Yes, it will depend on the original colour of your tiles, but as long as the biocide has been applied well you should see a good transformation within a year.👍🏼
Hi mate, What are you insured under for roof cleaning ?? Do you do under property maintenance? My window cleaning insurance company don’t cover it ?!
I am insured for roof cleaning. You may want to increase the level of cover from the minimum £1m to £5m.😃👍🏼
Three lichens didn't like the video
How do you price roof cleans I really do struggle pricing jobs I’m a lot better at pricing windows now I have around 600 customers a month but when it comes to roof cleans power washing and gutters I really struggle at how to go about it!
Any help if very much appreciated. Also loving your TH-cam channel I’ve been watching every night for the last 3 nights now trying to digest all of your tips and tricks haha keep up the good work!
There is a video about how to price roof cleans on my channel. Check out the roof cleaning playlist.😃👍🏼
Looks 100% better m8 question 4 you. I use a Ettore boab with 14 inch brass Ettore squeeze always get a nick on the blade the same area. Don't think Ettore do a rubber insert . Maybe I should have a different make of boab . Any ideas on this ?
I am using the Unger Ninja boab which now comes with a little rubber insert to stop your squeegee blade rubbing.😃👍🏼
The biocide you use is a little expensive, can you recommend any cheaper ones please
There are lots of similar products out there. I use a professional strength product which covers a larger area. So always check the strength of the product you are buying and the dilution rates. You may find a cheaper version but if it doesn’t cover such a large area then you are ultimately losing out.👍🏼
Hi buddy your starting to become a bit of a legend :-)
Can I ask what method you prefer to use if not upto the customer ?
Soft wash biocide or 12inch mosmatic
Thanks, you are too kind. I prefer to use the pressure washing method for instant gratification. But I think there is no single method that is good to use on every roof, they are all slightly different and you need to be adaptable.😃👍🏼
Do you follow up with the customer? Making sure roof has actually cleaned? From the bio?
This was actually a customer who’s windows I also clean every month. I’m confident that it works, but I wanted to make the video also to go on my website.😃👍🏼
Thanks for the video great editing! I own a company in south florida been in business for 4 years cleaning roofs. What keeps you from actually cleaning the roof? Why do you customers not want it clean before you leave? Thanks my friend cheers!
Richard Clair It’s up to you how you approach it. Pressure washing can be damaging to the roof if it’s not done correctly. The biocide treatment also acts as a preventative for up to 2years.😃👍🏼
Hi mate, sorry to bother you on an old vid. How do you know when a customers roof is okay to walk on!😂 ?
Were you using a chemical? It looked like you are just scraping it off
That was a clip of the biocide being applied at the start of the video. There are links in the description to videos of the whole scraping and treatment process being carried out.😃👍🏼
How do you go about scheduling all these other jobs around your window cleaning round ?
I usually keep a day a week free to book in these jobs. Well, two days a week now. There is an episode on the podcast about it.🎙😃👍🏼
nice vid. impressive after 1 year looking like new
It’s tricky with the customer because there can seem to be very little effect a couple of weeks after it’s treated, but it just takes a little time to see the results.😃👍🏼
Brilliant video! That stuff really works well. How do you price up a job like this?
I charge per square meter. The video about how I quote is in the Roof Cleaning playlist on my channel.😃👍🏼
I have a softwash algaeside from VTuf i assume it will have similar results? Great video as always 👌👌
I expect so.😃👍🏼
Wow we use pressure washer here in australia this method is better and safe than high pressure on roof
There is always more than one way to do things. This method is more labour intensive, but more gentle on the roof.😃👍🏼
Ash where can I get the Scraper tools from ?please?
Marshall Pro are the ones I use. You can find him on Facebook, but he can be a bit unreliable. You might also want to try Flexi Scraper.😃👍🏼
Hey mate nice job. What pole are you using?
I use my hi-mod Unger pole for scraping because it is just so rigid.😃👍🏼
How does this work on slate roof? Also, my copper gutters have a lovely brown patina....how does it affect gutters as such?
Same process for slate roofs, but you may need to use a more delicate blade(plastic). The biocide doesn’t harm any surface at all so the gutters will be fine.👍🏼
what type of bioside do u use for roofs
DDAC. GK Pro is very good.👍🏼
Ay up mate. What is that company name that you buy or the bits to turn your wfp in to and extendable jet wash for the roofs. Can’t remember the name. Something pumps I think.
Rutland Pumps, or you could try AC power washers, or I think streamline do it too.😃👍🏼
Rutland pumps that the one. Thanks mate. Hope your keeping well. 👍
Another great video how long in your opinion would a second treatment Of biocide Chemical be required on a roof thanks
Kev Brown If you treated the roof with biocide every 2-3 years it would keep it well maintained. It depends a little on the aspect and surrounding greenery etc.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services cheers Ashley much appreciated 👍
Got my Marshall pro delivered just now first job next week, sad but buzzing lol
It’s hard work. I hope it goes well.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services
Cheers Ash not afraid of hard work that’s what keeps us fit lol
Are you allowed to use SH?
Sodium Hypochlorite can damage the felt lining under the tiles. Once the moss has been removed you can treat it with AlgoClear every couple of years or so without causing any damage.😃👍🏼
Diamond geezer 👌🏽
Thanks😃👍🏼
Ready to eat off😋😂
😆👍🏼
Where can u get telescopic pole cleaner n wat is biocide dat u use
Like it Ashley 🤟
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Very good job 💪
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Totally off roof subject, Ashley were have you ordered for new unger green rubber from?? I am after a length of it compared to what I've seen just set sizes
Window Cleaning Warehouse has it, but yeah, it’s only available in a couple of set sizes at the moment.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks Ashley, I was going to replace all the rubber's including my 22" unger ninja, do you know if unger will bring it out in lengths where we can cut ourselves??
I also want to put it in my 22inch ninja. I think Unger will gauge the response and possibly continue to produce it in a bigger variety of sizes based on the response. I have it in all my other squeegees at the moment and I’m loving it!😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I've only had the black series 2 day's. How does it work in the moerman?
The green rubber seems to work best in a straight channel.😃👍🏼
Can I ask a question? Why are you on the roof with any harness or straps? Surely health and safety comes first at all times.. great work by the way 👍
Yes indeed. Definitely consider health and safety as a top priority when working on a roof. I use a scaffold tower these days.👍🏼
