Personally i prefer to do this rather than just pure/tap, i just mix up in bucket and brush on but I've been thinking there must be an easier way like maybe using a spare di vessel mixed with tfr to get it up there? Or is there something else?

Have a look at the 'tips on conny roofs' thread, Fin.

Cheers mate, i actually bought the sprayer last night but i need to work a way of reaching guttering easier..

[robert mitchell]

I just use a backpack , connect to pole and spray .

I use a sill brush with fan jets for gutters

Is that just a backpack mixed with tfr? Then onto tap/pure to rinse?

[Smudger]

We use backpacks spray on and minimal scrubbing, then swap over to van mounted pure water to rinse off - very quick way to do it

I just spray from the ground (ground and first floor gutters) Adjust the lance so it is a jet and it will reach.

Not so good in the wind though.

I dipped the brush in the bucket for years, what a pain in the arris and the chemical dripping on you.

If put the right fitting onto the sprayer you can connect ya pole to it to apply the chemical.

The pressure does drop but not as quick as you would think.

I use g101 mixed in the backpack .

Go round spray it all then connect pole to van mount to scrub/rinse with pure .

Comes off very easy .

We had some gutters on a 4 storey apartment block to clean that were proper green.

I bought a backpack pump from Red Hat Diving £25 and wired it up to a small 12v battery, fitted them into a small plastic toolbox.

25ltr tub with mixture of TFR and pure water, pump it up as high as you need.

Good idea 👍👍👍👍

I haven't tried it yet but the pump sprayer that I linked earlier in thread.
The wand on that has a similar diameter to some clear hose in B&Q.
I'm gonna substitute the rod that links the trigger to the nozzle with hose, cable tie it to a pole and see if that'll work.

Anyone understand that? Anyone done it?

Where's the link


Tbh we used to spray the gutters from pump sprayer, even when giving them a good hit then using WFP has no comparison to having it ready mixed and sprayed on with back pack and brush

On average we are getting a time saving of 20% more on the hard to reach SFG's over conny's and extensions

What he says. I have a backpack especially for tfr, and also a brush just for tfr. I rinse the pole hose out for about a min with pure from van mount just to sterelise the pole hose after I finish

[PoleKing]

Yes that would work

Darran

I'll give that a go then.
I'll post how I get on

Lol. I really do lead where others follow.

[Fin Clearview]

cheers for the advice lads  , looks like im in the market for a backpack then. Also I've always used pencil jets but have a new brush with fans so will give that a try on guttering.

I just spray g101 neat onto the brush and run it over the gutters with a slow trickle of water. On an average 3 bed I only need to lower the brush once per side to reapply. If I targeted fascias I would buy a backpack.
