Never got the job, their gardeners said they could do it cheaper, if you want to email me the clients name or address, I check through my records and tell you what we put in as a cost, so you'll know not what to charge!!!
And no not poaching your work, we're flat out here, just trying to help, and stop the add-on merchants with jobs like this that need a proper approach.

Hypo will eliminate and zebra stripes(trams bla bla whatever they're called this week)

Yes mate. See this page http://www.blast-away.co.uk/Pages/CladdingCleaning.aspx

The Bolton Indians one, we sprayed the mix on through downstream injector and it just slowly ran down carrying the algae. Then a quick rinse. That front with the signage took about 15 minutes start, dwell to rinse.
