that sounds like a tricky job, never done it myself, just make sure you quote well for it as it may be harder than it looks. wfp without the goosneck may be a good idea to toy with.

Never come across this problem before but i'd think that maybe you should alter the pressure on the pump or pole so you just have enough or you'll end up getting drenched cause your working directly above yourself.

I think i'm right anyway!

Generally aluminium sheet so you'd have to find out how easy the grime comes off that! maybe thats why you could get away with a pressure washer

I would double that plus the cost of a tower and jet washer!

Make sure the Ali' sheet is sound or you might bring it down with a high pressure jet

you will need to use some tfr i recon, and jet wash it. I have removed petrol from a drive before using this method. Not easy!
I think you are looking at £50 an hour minimum on this one. I assume you would have to do it at night when it is not busy , so you could double your fee.
