Great  pics and ideas guys.

I am just started in the business and have just tackled a bleeding great house and conservatory about 8m x 10m with a shallow pitched roof. Bought loads of poles and bits etc from Unger but obviously found from this experience loads of snags that I need to iron out.

1) Getting a large volume of an ECO friendly product applied to the really grungy algae roof and finials etc via the Unger pole ( I have the 6m extending pole) but this can be a bit unwieldly on a Conservatory of this size.
2) Being able to control and stop the flow whilst also being able to extend and shorten the pole without haveing to get down from the ladder all the time.
3) Being able to the scrub the algae to bits and then go over with clean water  with the same pole as the application of the TFR.
4) Being able to combine the ECO TFR with clean water in one pole would be good or do you use two adapted poles>
4) Squeege the roof panels down, do you bother? I am not Pure water. again issues here with the size of the roof and shallow roof pitch.
5) I am now considering  buying the Unger Hiflo kit for about £100 but not sure if this will give me the results I will obviously need as I was not really proud of the job that I achieved but hey they want me back to do the inside. which again will be a nightmare as the inside of the roof has blinds with guide wires at approx 200mm centres.
The problem that I see with the Unger kit is that the shampoo reservoir and tap will be out of convenient reach when up the ladder.

Some great idea's in this post for me to investigate though.
