Hi all,

Anyone used chemicals to pressure clean rendered/painted walls, it needs to be enviromently friendly and bio-degradable as the work is in a city centre on a large block of flats.

Cheers guys

hi alan sorry i cant help you but how do you get this type of work coming in??

[drive surgeon]

heat?

[BDCS]

Use bleach and plenty of it - the hair dressers might moan about you taking their trade though

[Alan McTernan]

Cheers Guys,

Bleach is a big no no as it runs off in to a river!! Thats why it needs to be envior friendly other wise i would use it!!!

Heat is an idea!!! Have just put the price in so see how it pans out

I have to price to clean a water mill with the same problem - have you ever dealt with the enviroment agency about these sort of problems ?

[Alan McTernan]

Not yet but i can know that bleach will be out of the question!! As it takes the oxygen out of water!!!

If you want to give me a call to discuss directly then you are more than welcome to

Have a little look on google for oxygen bleach,when you turn up on the job tell em its Sodium Percarbonate 
God i hate giving my secrets away

I use about 2kg in 25 litres.
Its best to mix it with hot water and even then it takes up to 15 minutes to dissolve properly. Only mix what you will use within an hour as it does degrade completely within 4 - 6 hours.

As always, do some research on proper handling & wear the correct PPE.

After waiting several days for a reply from the Enviroment agency without reply we phoned them today. They really are the most unhelpful bunch of ******* with their heads rammed up their own ******. They want me to clean the building with no chemicals which was to be expected but they don't want the water to go into the stream because its too hot ! They want it collected and taken away - - obviously I must fully comply. It makes you feel like you'd be better sat at home and claim dole

[Alan McTernan]

That is why i am more than happy to stick with many domestics!!! F@#king pen pushers!!!

[BDCS]

This is a domestic house - its an old water mill

[Alan McTernan]

I will just take my size 8 out of my mouth then

[BDCS]

I should have just carried on and not given a ***** if the fish float  :

[James Gregory]

By using heat you will also not require so much pressure thus not damaging the surface. Low pressure high heat is the best way to clean rendered walls. Also there are a number of steam cleaners that are now DEFRA approved. You will have no probs with the enviroment angency!!!!!

Read the post - I cannot use any heat as they are concerned the hot water will harm the fish - obviously I will follow their wishes to the letter as I need to eat so the job will be done
