Good video ;). Tell me about that green nozzle you used to blast the finial with?
-
Yes mate u seem to have a few different end prices for different bits, good job mate
-
Nozzels are from quick fit pressure washing accessories.
All fitted with Gardiner clip on fitting, so one pole can convert into many things with your imagination.
All I am doing is trying out my gopro camera,
As for cleaning a conservatory roof it seems I am the slowest cleaner, as been suggested on here before when I have posted, But my results for me are good.
Hope you like and maybe learn from it, I am still learning

The bottom line is you are happy with the out come.
Do you have a link to the green nozzle. I like the look of that.

Not bad, good job.

Nice one 👍
How much you charge for that??
I did one the same size Thursday morning and she mental over the price £45 for a 2 hour clean and cancelled monthly cleans aswell.
-
I be honest with ya avo, by the time u get chemical get ladders off work on them for 2 hours, and do the job, and she had the audacity to say £45 was to much, I would of politely pulled me trousers down, positioned my self in a sitting position with me back against her door, and took a smelly dump on her step and said " you can have that for free"
Omg I wouldnt do a conny roof for £45, I would say, crack on love, ya ladders will cost you more and I hope one of the ladder feet don't sink in the grass or ya might find ya self in next doors garden.
What do they want it for, FREE
-
Brilliant job. If it were me I'd have said I doubt I could get rid of the stain & charged £50 and be hacked off if it took me more than 45 - 50 minutes. I'd have done probably 90% of the job done on the video not including the stain.

Hi David
Nozzels are from quick fit pressure washing accessories.
Do you have a photo of this? and a link where we can buy it?
-
Good job....I would have had it done in an hour though ;)
-
What TFR do you use in the bottle?

same here I offer different levels of con clean from a general wash down to a more
time intensive clean and charge accordingly.

funny thing was I've been cleaning her windows for at least 2 years and the first ever job I did for her was the con roof "weird" just don't get some people 😧
-
Awesome job done. Very thorough.
-
on the nozzle front did you use the water pressure from your w.f.p or tap pressure its a great idea for detail work as the brush sometimes cannot get into the small spaces and tight angle joints and looks like it works great on the finial's
great idea keep em coming.
-
What TFR do you use in the bottle?
I've always used a TFR from a local company that I really like, Damo.
But I needed a drum the week before last and the supplier was out of stock.
I too, a punt on an ebay and was pleasantly surprised to find it comparable.
In price and quality.
As long as the ratio is 400:1+, it looks like (from my tiny experiment) they're much of a muchness.
The stuff I got looks like Ribena. And was about £39 inc next day delivery.

i usually take this long myself for this size conservatory i like doing them but find it hard to get my desired hourly rate on thm

If you know how long it's gonna take you, price accordingly.
You might not get it. But do you want it at less?
-
Fair enough with price accordingly.
I don't do domestics but have done some conny roofs, now the one in the video at the top done to the spec the guy has done which is a very good job, I would want 60-80 pounds. It's ok saying oh ye I will put me ladder up against your guttering until it brakes, now with the ladder up and your quite high on it, learning forward as you use the brush, when 💩, the ladder kicks................ Ok you alrite ur quick thinking and you jumped to the side.
However the top of the ladder has damaged part of the gutter and the end of one of the roof sections.
Mmmmmmmmmm
Is the custard guna say oh don't worry about it or is there a big bill coming your way.
I respect you guys that do them and am not criticising in any way, am just saying, the custard had no other options but to ask the windy to do it and let's be honest lucky if they get them done once every 2 years.
I would find a point where you are paid for the risk you take to achieve this.
Dazmond recently broke a finial on a conny, not sure how he got on replacing but you get my point, these are fragile and easily brake.

Priced at £70
Spaying and pressure was from the van pump 100psi
Only tap water used when rinsing
Green pressure washing item is

Great mate, but can we see some photos of how exactly you have made it ?
-
Cleaning chemicals used was
Selden Maxima
Virosol
But i have tried all different types, I believe scrubbing hard with any cleaning chemicals the conservatory will come up clean, even just water, but the customers seem to like foam/suds.
As for the diy tooling, i was only showing cleaning the conservatory in video.
But when got time i will put head cam back on and show you some of my ideas,
But my son uses no gimmicks and gets the job done with his brush, these diy bits can just slow your job down, But i like my diy crap.
So yes i will do a video of my diy bits and put it on my Youtube channel and on here

Look forward to it mate :)

looks like you do a good proper job david.good video.
i do similar but i dont hang around and will use either my pole attached to customers outside tap with 20m of extension hose that i keep in the van specifically for add ons or just pure from my tank on full blast for the rinse.
that stubborn mark looked like a right pain to clean!slowed down the job for you.
i try and earn £50-£60 an hour on add on jobs as their harder work,messy and (IMO) specialist cleaning which takes you away from your nice and easy maintenance window cleaning work.

Nice video pal. Couple of questions
1) what ratio do you mix your virosol and how long did you leave it before rinsing?
2) what do you think of the go pro headcam as I'm thinking of getting one.
