Matt put some useful stuff on here a short while back about trad connie roofs and pricing. He's the bloke with his picture showing.

charge about £60 if its avarage size , get some trafic film remover like autosmart or active 8 , wet the hole roof first them spray on this stuff rub in well then rins off.
do not let it dry on ,in some that i have done you have to wash the lot down sides gutter everything ,if so charge £80 .
the decaretive mouldings on top can be very fragile so take care with the brush on them . the spike thing needs careful brushing .
if you go to your local car wash they might let you have some, autosmart is the name of the out let for this.
never use power washers they nacker the seals on the roof so all you need is pole with good stiff brush ,not bass broom .
good luck ;) oh and stick by the price you give i know it sounds a lot but they do pay this sort of price to me. in some cases even more if they are big ones.

I charge +- 5 Pound a roof panel min 50 Quid.I would say it not a good idea trad unless you have special conny ladders.
-
make yourself a harris waterfed pole and use that to clean the roofs, thats what i used
-
1.wfp on custys outside tap
2.tfr/water in bucket
3.apply to roof and scrub( using ladder with stand off if needed)
4.wfp it clean!
5.windows/frames/outside gutters cleaned as well
6.£50 min charge
you might as well not bother if you just plan on using t mop on trad pole and hosepipe.too much hassle!get a brush kit for your trad pole or cheap wfp its a whole lot easier!! ;) ;D ;D
-
I dilute the TFR in my shurflo backpack. Very easy to use then. Spray and agitate with brush. Let it work in for a couple of minutes. Connect wfp to customers tap. Scrub all of conservatory. Then rinse off with pure water from tank or whichever.

cheers for all your help on that gonna give it a go this week ;D

Did a cons roof today. 8 panels, 3 of which could only be reached from the neighbours garden (he was in). Charged £50...and slung in the rest of the house too...oh and also did the insides of the house while I was there.
All trad and took 2 hrs.
Cons roof so-so ::)
Rest of house the dogs bollox... ;D
Why are some of you so hung up about cons roofs? Splish-splosh-give-me-the-dosh. Most of the time they have blinds anyway ;D
