Hi all. I've done a couple of roof moss removals lately but by hand scrubbing, which gets the job done but is time consuming  and tiresome, I've been asked by two neighbours to do theirs and they are fairly substantial sizes.....can someone advise me on the best method for speed and safety (and don't say 'call a professional')

Did you use a cherry picker for this Darren and extendable pole?

[Blackadder]

Really? Every website I look at, it tells you that under no circumstances should you jet wash a roof, but it seems the most obvious and quickest way.

[Blackadder]

How much would you quote for this? Just the side that's in the picture and the garage?

[Smudger]

Ohhh pan tiles - need  a bit more care but can be done


No cherry picker for this one,
Fsc on clx poles

What's the access like ?

Not into quoting over the forum but it will have four digits in front of the decimal point

Darran

[Blackadder]

Yep, I knew I'd severely under quoted this job

Access is ok for ladders but not for anything else.

Pricing is subjective and dependant on circumstances, sometimes you can get better prices, other times the customer thinks your way to expensive.

If you feel you got a fair price for the time and effort involved then the price is right - no matter what others say.

If however you know it's underpriced then return to the customer and let them know you can't do it for the priced quoted or estimated and the price will now be xxxx .

The reason I quoted the certain price at the time (couple of months ago) was because I was going to  invest in that round pressure washer on wheels that you feed down from the top of the roof, so the price was fair, but since hearing bad reports about it, decided against buying the kit, now doing it by hand doesn't seem a fair price at all!

Cheers for your advice Darran, much appreciated.

Poor quality pic but I use these..

How much did this set up cost you Darran?

[Smudger]

Had a couple of clx poles knocking about (27's) the fsc are £90 off eBay, a few bits and bobs £20 odd quid
