I think all that chemical could of been applied through a wfp much safer, a lot less over spray and direct onto the surface, and after the clock has spun round a bit use the brush it agitate.

For a service like that on that house you would be talking a few thousands of pounds, so plenty of money in the job to allow you to put up tower scaffolding up to work off properly.

Am not looking to get into this type of work, well not just yet but I will be setting another tank up with one of them 12v pumps and using it to apply chemicals were required, this will be hypo if pressure washing  virosol, hd degreaser, al even put fairy liquid through it  ;D

All Smatseals biowash set up is a battery box, a couple of 12 volt pumps on a washer trolley
I would have posted a pic of the set up from the email they sent but can't upload it as is the wrong format for the forum

Here is another one on the band wagon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtcLeOd2RBU

Interesting the chap mentions only using a 1% hypo mix 

Wfp would be better than spraying from the ground to minimise overspray for sure. Downside would take longer and more effort to do surely?

Smartseal system and suggested use looks rather dangerous to me...

The home owner in the top vid must have money to burn having his shrubs cleaned aswell as the house.

Apparently using 1% hypo does not damage plants or grass. Well that's what the chap in the vid says anyway.
Still best not to get it on someones washing hanging out to dry. Oops!  ;D
