What TFR do you use in the bottle?

I've always used a TFR from a local company that I really like, Damo.
But I needed a drum the week before last and the supplier was out of stock.
I too, a punt on an ebay and was pleasantly surprised to find it comparable.
In price and quality.
As long as the ratio is 400:1+, it looks like (from my tiny experiment) they're much of a muchness.

The stuff I got looks like Ribena. And was about £39 inc next day delivery.

If you know how long it's gonna take you, price accordingly.
You might not get it. But do you want it at less?

Fair enough with price accordingly.

I don't do domestics but have done some conny roofs, now the one in the video at the top done to the spec the guy has done which is a very good job, I would want 60-80 pounds. It's ok saying oh ye I will put me ladder up against your guttering until it brakes, now with the ladder up and your quite high on it, learning forward as you use the brush, when 💩, the ladder kicks................ Ok you alrite ur quick thinking and you jumped to the side.

However the top of the ladder has damaged part of the gutter and the end of one of the roof sections.

Mmmmmmmmmm

Is the custard guna say oh don't worry about it or is there a big bill coming your way.

I respect you guys that do them and am not criticising in any way, am just saying, the custard had no other options but to ask the windy to do it and let's be honest lucky if they get them done once every 2 years.

I would find a point where you are paid for the risk you take to achieve this.

Dazmond recently broke a finial on a conny, not sure how he got on replacing but you get my point, these are fragile and easily brake.

david      how have you attached thequick release coupling to your pole end ,  how have you attached your pole hose to get the water going to it,

you will have to put your procam on again and make another video    showing a step by step guide to setting thes up onto a pole ,
great accesory to have in your arsenal of bits

Cleaning chemicals used was

Selden Maxima
Virosol

But i have tried all different types, I believe scrubbing hard with any cleaning chemicals the conservatory will come up clean, even just water, but the customers seem to like foam/suds.

As for the diy tooling, i was only showing cleaning the conservatory in video.
But when got time i will put head cam back on and show you some of my ideas,

But my son uses no gimmicks and gets the job done with his brush, these diy bits can just slow your job down, But i like my diy crap.

So yes i will do a video of my diy bits and put it on my Youtube channel and on here

looks like you do a good proper job david.good video.

i do similar but i dont hang around and will use either my pole attached to customers outside tap with 20m of extension hose that i keep in the van specifically for add ons or just pure from my tank on full blast for the rinse.

that stubborn mark looked like a right pain to clean!slowed down the job for you.

i try and earn £50-£60 an hour on add on jobs as their harder work,messy and (IMO) specialist cleaning which takes you away from your nice and easy maintenance window cleaning work.
price higher/work harder!

Nice video pal. Couple of questions

1) what ratio do you mix your virosol and how long did you leave it before rinsing?
2) what do you think of the go pro headcam as I'm thinking of getting one.
