I can autograph your one!
The manufacturer is issueing the cert and doing the training...not me.
No its not worth the paper it's written on...lead generation for approved contractors is worth it.

Brussels say all reference to "moss " killing products are basically to be removed from the market. So shortly the homeowner will not be able to purchase a product from anywhere that says on the label .. "killing moss" etc
Hence the name change....you will learn all about this when you show up ;D
The sites full of "dodgy " stood on roof pics...this is all changing. Hence the look into safe ways for application etc.

mainly just its effectiveness on different surfaces and what sort of thickness of moss it can reliably deal with along with expected time before results are seen. Subject was covered a bit at the building cleaning academy but cant say I was convinced by what was shown on the day

Not necessarily for k-rend but it is one application. Work is starting to pick up for soft washing the more i look for it..
How else would you clean this...cockle shell render.

Heavy deposits definitely need to be removed...otherwise if not completely saturated regrowth occur .Moss is a bit like a sponge.When a sponge is dry it repels water. When damp it accepts liquid to the point of saturation. There are too many variables in between .
Best remove the heavy stuff and be left with the root system and apply the quats to that. It then becomes very effective.
Time scales vary on the surface and type of algae /moss colonization. Algae covered cladding,sandstone building 12/24hrs.
It is not the answer to every situation but i believe there are many ways to clean some more effective than others.
Hitting oxidised cladding with 3000psi will do very little...soap and a brush is better.The render in the picture needs careful consideration as even soft brushing you end up with a pile of shells at you feet! Similary I think 3000psi and a flat surface cleaner is the way to go for block paving...you would be wasting with quats (although it would clean it)
I also think there is a lot of milage as a general maintenance product after an initial clean up...spray and walk away.

Post by: G O Cleaning on January 11, 2014, 05:14:11 pm
I still don't see any real mileage with soft washings a roof - UK market, without the hard sell.

Majority of customers are after instant results, Out of all the roofs we cleaned last year only 2 were suitable for soft wash. By using this method we lost out on the profit, plus initial results ltd as an op hated it as far less rewarding than p washing. We would of earned far more by using p washing method plus option to upsell coatings etc.
It gives another method for cleaning renderings but thats it, as far as I can see.

As for the Mossgo 'label' they have tried to push it to contractors, yet as you have said their site was full of 'dodgy ' roof pics, anyone who is serious about HS can see that, by HS I dont mean the usual red tape crap we have to deal with.... Real simple basic fundamental Safety.

This post confuses me... If its not you providing the training.... Why are you plugging it and not the manufacturer  ??? 
Title: Re: Any body interested in learning about algoclear/mossgo
Post by: chris scott on January 11, 2014, 07:09:00 pm
I was just talking to the manufacturer about training in general. I thought local/regional training was better as the cost can be kept to a min. People don't need to travel long distances and stay in hotels etc.
We spoke about group sizes..large groups pay well but something gets lost in the presentation.
So for anybody that might find it interesting( soft washing)... £45 is affordable to everybody,travelling expenses will not amount to much,and the quality of the coarse due to the small groups should be good.
If you do the maths there is no money to be made 6/8 attendees at about £45 =£270 just enough to hire the venue, travel/accom for the presenter and dinner.
If it turns out I can run it for £20 I will! 
I just thought if there was enough interest ...i would arrange something. I like courses ...you always learn something ,even if you know everything like me ;D

I don't get this! Earlier in the post you said  if the group got too large it would affect the delivery of the course which I understand. Trying to run a course at that price in a day with lunch included would indicate to me that either the instructor is salaried from the manufacturers or  it is a sales course.  I may be wrong but I know I could not run a course like that for even double that cost and coverinstructor , eelectricity, gas, water, rates, rent, lunch and refreshments.

I can do this coarse ( ;D ) for this price because of the following:
The instructor is the manufacturer /distributor. So I incur no cost other than his acc /travel.
I have been given the venue for a small donation ...due to services rendered to the owner in the past.
The pub next door will do me a decent dinner for £15.
It,s not profit making.
We will have to make our own tea  ;D.
It more just to try and promote different types of cleaning methods and products for anybody that is interested... a bit of a social also.
I suppose it could be "classed" as sales course ...as there is only one product...algoclear/mossgo.
I just think that people seeing "soft" wash equipment and a different way of doing things they might be inspired somehow. Maybe people will integrate the methods and techniques into the own business with other chemicals.
There will definatly no pressure to buy anything....

OK so it is as I said in my post! " The manufacturer is running it therefore all the costs are absorbed."

Now! You say "you can afford to run it" Does that mean you are administrating it or teaching it?

You also mention that you may make my tea!  I am seriously considering coming although that particular week I am in Prague until late Friday Night and flying back into Manchester so the location would not be too far I just need to take two cars to Manchester instead of one.

Do you think it would be worth me coming?  I do love courses ;D ;D ;D

Just checked this and their latest check in is 9pm.  I don't land until 9.30pm then got to do the normal like go through customs, collect bags and then go and get car so earliest I can see me getting there is 11.30pm.  Is there a hotel a bit bigger in easy reach of the venue?  How far is Southport?

hi chris

Do you know what the course will include yet?
Some of the suggestions you put above about application methods, working at height and safety equipment sounds good if they could be included.

Some of the time doing courses they don't include anything about risk assessments or do a very basic level 1 standard so if it could include something along them lines such as cleaning roofs using the equipment off towers, cherry pickers or working off roof ladders and the safety equipment that includes would be of interest.

How would I go about booking and paying, would I just email them at info@algoclear.com?


Thanks
Ashley

Although the coarse will include some  safety/risk assesments etc. Each form of access presents it's own sets of risk and qualifications to operate/erect.
I would advise  you to go and do a separate coarse on working off cherry pickers etc ,working at height etc.

There is no way everything could be covered in "our" course. Nor are we qualified to instruct in such fields .

Just email them at info@algoclear.com to book.

Hi Chris

sorry yes I did mean to put that I understood not all of it would be covered just the equipment used for that job. Such as using a long pole and spraying the roof would require the area to be sheeted on the floor and any risks that the chemicals may pose to animals or next doors flower bed!

It would just a few of the courses I have attended they included almost no safety aspect to the course and as this course would be dealing with roof cleaning it would be quite a good part to it. We all know there are many cow boys out there cleaning roofs with little or no training and no safety equipment.

I will email them now to see about a place

Thanks
Ashley

Thats me ..no training on roof cleaning . I race dirt bikes and Kitesurf...write a risk assessment on that.

I also patched up the internals of a nuclear reactor with concrete...otherwise It was going to be decommissioned.
I signed an official secrets act about that.
Let me say that the water that southern England is experiencing is really the least of their problems !!

Carl without hi-jacking this thread to much , floods are abating at the moment, back fields are going down very quickly, but coming out somewhere else I guess, roads are beginning to be pumped clear so home -owners can get back into their properties to start clean up. Hopefully we have got away without being flooded, but let me tell you watching the flood water move closer to your house at 10-15 metres per hour is no fun.

I am glad you asked because I have been trying to get hold of Francois as well.

I was going over my course notes last night in bed and have to admit after reading them through several times since the course that I am now I am beginning to understand the development and growth theories better!   Anyway it occurred to me that given that some algae becomes parasitic and by definition a heterotroph it got me thinking that this type of algae would bloom and develop faster after something like a housefire because it thrives on carbon?  What do you think?

Most things on this planet are heterotrophic....and i understand what you are saying ,it seems plausable. Given that mosses/algae grow were the conditions are idea ie damp/shaded areas.You would take it that it would follow suit...ie a higher Carbon content.
Saying that tho' We should have rainforests at the side of the motorways.
What we do have is the biologist Dr Pamela E Simpson...we shall ask her...when we recover the missing Frenchman
