Neighbours will certainly notice that and will be asking who did it, so now you priced well they will only ask if they really are willing to pay those prices so you could do well out of this one matey....

Awesome job...

Nice Job fieldsy.  :)

I love doing these type has they look really bad and most are quite easy to bring back to new again. Custy's are always over the moon when they come out and see what you have done.

Priced right as well, IMO.

My first con roof took about the same but if access is good you will get them down to about an 1 hr for roof & gutters and about 2 hrs for a full clean including all frames etc.

Why anyone would go out and charge £20 & £25 for this type of work is beyond me.  ???

Did you dilute the tfr down ? if so what did you mix it to. Have read that the deepclean tfr can be effective to 100:1, but wondered how you did it

 Where did you buy the deepclean TFR from and how much did it cost.
Title: Re: How green is your......
Post by: Fieldsy on November 01, 2009, 01:25:35 pm
@windowwipers,

yh, diluted the TFR down, and used it at 40:1   Label says, 20:1 to 50:1, so took a happy medium and seems to work fine.

@wizard

get it here m8y  ;)

ive just gone water fed. i gave my customers a leaflet explaining that i now do conservatory roof's, i have had loads of people asking for qoutes but i told them i had to get the chemicals first before i could qoute. How long does the standard roof take? i was thinkin around 2 hours for the whole c onsrevatory. and charging around £50. also did you do it in stages? like half of it at a time on the roof?
oh and doe it help to use a different brush head for this job than the one you usually use for the windows?

Hi,

Sprayed the whole roof with tfr including framework, let it soak in for about 10-15 mins, then it was a breeze to just rub and rinse off each panel at a time. Didn't even need hard scrubbing as the tfr had done all the work  ;)

  Hi guy's, have you  not thought about using  a dedicated  Uvpc  cleaner  for the conservatory job, Fenwick's have been  making plastic cleaners  for years they  must be worth asking.

Post by: michael papworth on November 03, 2009, 06:29:00 pm
Fenwick's stuff is good, but a bit pricey. Easy to get hold of small quantities too, at Halfords. Good if you only do a few every so often.

Once, when I didn't have any TFR, I used Flash! It worked OK and smelt lovely.
