I told them I will be using wfp to clean the roofs but I am worry it wont do a good job.

I very keen to do the job well as it a good earner

To do it the trad way I won't be able to reach all the conservatory roof glass.

What shall I do guys  ???

Thanks

David

Did one the other week which hadn't been cleaned for over 3 years.

I just gave it a good soak with pure water then went and sat in the van for 5 mins to have a fAg and a coffee whilst it soaked in.

The muck came off really easy and it didn't take that long at all.

You could always give it a spray with TFR and leave it for a couple of minutes,  then give it a scrub.

How long does it take you to do a typical size and do you do gutters and all uPVC??

Thanks

Make sure you use TFR it will save you ages,as said the non caustic one.Halfords don`t sell it but you can get it from car part outlets like lencos etc.

What would the average price for just the roof. ( No gutters)

I've done a couple now at £45 + £50 Quoted one the other day at £65 as it was 4 sided roof. Hasn't got back to me on this just wondering if I'm going too high with price.

The roof’s I’ve cleaned so far have taken around 1- 1 ½ hours. This is just the Roof. Polycarb/Glass, Finals and all the support/cross beams. If there’s a lot of build up in the gutters I would swill it away.

If the custy wanted a full Con Clean I would do the gutters inside and out and all the upvc frames, doors and glass.

The one I quoted for £65 (Roof Only) I estimated 1 ½ hrs to clean. I’m still trying to find a good workflow so I would imagine I will get quicker the more I do.
