any guys on here could help me out with telling me what ratio of tfr to water if im using a 5 litre spray bottle , to spray on conny roofs , also i was going to use this on gutters and fascias cleaning using a ladder not me pole or does anyone could tell me a better way much appreciated

Usually 100:1

There are different strengths.... the neater you use it the better it will work... obviously depends which ratio tfr you bought.
I use Viro-sol (citrus cleaner)
heavy dirt - neat
general - 1:50 - 1:100
light - 1:200
I use mine 1:23 + half a bottle of washing liquid (shaken, not stirred). This works well for me even on the greenest conny roof's and fascia as you can see

Vikan sill brush - great for cleaning up the finals (i have the red & green one) - http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/brush-heads/vikan-hi-lo-brush.html (http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/shop/brush-heads/vikan-hi-lo-brush.html)
Am going to get a multipurpose ladder like this one http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Multi_Purpose_Scaffold_Ladder_System-168-0.html (http://www.midlandladders.com/products/Multi_Purpose_Scaffold_Ladder_System-168-0.html) to give me height - step ladders i use can wobble quite a bit.
Am going to convert another sprayer to a pole for fascias
