conservatory roof cleaning
« on: January 04, 2006, 08:11:18 pm »
hi folkes
got all my w.f.p equipment now,just need to put it all togeather with the trolly thats arrived today. Been looking on my round and
im certain that there is a lot of work to be got cleaning con roofs,and p.v.c facier boards.
my question is what are the best and safest products to
remove the build up of the green slime that is mainly on roofs, and also what is best for bringing up u.p.v.c. Im
hoping that these sort of jobs can be done using w.f.p
 CHEERS JEFF.

The best way to remove the green slime is with your water fed pole!
Pure water really shifts algae.
For an even better finnish a company called fenwicks do a product called bobby dazzler.
Spray this on first then rinse with wfp.

All the ones i have done i just used pure water. Soaked it first, left it for five minutes then used the brush. Came off a treat.

Remember theres a fine line between well priced work and over priced work.
Alot of con roof cleans will be word of mouth so get it right.

just the same advice as craig-- spray just pure water and let it soak for a few mins. ive never needed any chemical even on 100year old algae!
comes up a treat. usually charge £35-£50 including the outside of the gutter and its only ever taken me 1/2 hr-45 mins but after everyone saying that they charge ****loads more i might revise my prices.
gutters come up good too...

one thing i will say is to have a brush dediacted for con roofs - some of them can really muck up a brush.
