i have got a job cleaning these gutters fascia including dormers using wfp.

anybody had any experience of this kind of job?

any issues ?

I'm thinking 35ft pole should be long enough.

35ft should do it mate. Maybe dip the brush head in Virosol or similar as the fascias look fairly dirty!

Yes mate done one last Friday with very green dormas! The sides were very green indeed. I used a 30ft six and TFR.  The 30ft was plenty long enough but i did keep dreaming about buying an extreme  ;D

Title: Re: gutter fascia clean

if you have a backpack then do your tar mix in there if not then tar mix in a bucket and dip your brush head in and that will do the trick, you will need at least a 35ft though due to the angle your going to have to stand at

i have a backpack and 35ft extreme arriving today , backpack ordered for that reason .

not all the blocks have dormers only a couple of them , the rest are similar blocks but just the gutters/fascia.

Give your brush a good wash out afterwards, putting tar on the glass won't do no harm its just that it will annoy you as it foams up a bit. you will be surprised how easy it comes up clean though

i have done plenty of gutters/fascias just not at this height thats all.

i have a separate brush for gutters/fascia etc , an old sill brush .

i use virosol but its the only one i have tried , can't say i notice a huge difference over just water .

I can't see the pics, but I have a spray bottle with neat Virosol in it . Spray up the brush with Virosol, rub on worst looking area first, then turn your water on half a turn ( I use Gardener tap) then go over rest of dorma as it suds up. Do another next to it the same way. Then go back to first one and give those shoulders a good burn up, rinse off. Next.   ;D

35ft not long enough for those. You want at least a 40ft pole for that job

I wouldn't put tar on them!
