Great job the both of you. I have just down my first roof clean from Mi tower and FSC then Bio brushed in. Quite a big roof for the first one and I am over the moon with the results. Expensive buying all the gear but bought now and quite a few roofs booked in. Doing that customers lockblock driveway next week as well. Been quite the journey in the last year. You helped a lot with excellent advice which I can’t thank you enough for.

Great video boys. Nice to hear details of pricing and the effort you put in. Also nice to see someone who cares about the finish and not just the cleaning if that makes sense. I see some people blast away at higher pressure to get all the lichen off as if the immediate finish is most important. You show it's more important for the long term finish by letting the biocide do the finishing touches. Great work. Thanks for sharing. Dave.

@andrewleidner8142 Год назад

Hi from Florida USA - I would love it if you did a whole video on the scaffold and the long pole (w/surface cleaner) set up - you would end up influencing an entire industry here that does it wrong (apparently, after watching you). I figure you charged 8 x 110 = 880 - good price for a roof SO mucked up. (and you included gutters and windows). Also, consider having people apprentice with you for a day (for roofs) if they can make it to england (for $1,000) per day - would be worth it! 🙂

@aemackintosh Год назад

Yeah, I get some strange comments from the USA from people who think I’m cleaning shingles. I wouldn’t recommend doing it like this on shingle roofs.

@andrewleidner8142 Год назад

@@aemackintosh Oh no - not shingles - ceramic tile - no one uses your scaffold and pole method, they do soft wash (bleach spray the roof) Your method is a game changer 🙂

@aemackintosh Год назад

I’ve tried every method. The key to it is understanding how the pressure is applied to the surface and reducing the power coming from the machine to suit the surface you’re cleaning, as well as using the right tool for the job.😉👍🏼

Have you re uploaded this 😉🤭

Yes, sorry, I had to edit out a mistake in something I said.😬

@shaunflack7303 Год назад

Does the £8 cover everything or is that for each stage of the clean scraping pressure washing and then treatment?

@aemackintosh Год назад

I include the clean up and biocide treatment as part of the job. Added value.😉👍🏼

How do you ask a client can you use there water?

@aemackintosh 3 месяца назад

I say: “would it be ok to use your outside tap?”

What machine are you using?

@aemackintosh 9 месяцев назад

I’m using a 21 lpm machine with the pressure turned down. There’s more details about the setup I’m using in my online training course: www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/pressure-washing-tools-and-techniques

Ash, where did you get the pole set up? And are you using heat ?

@aemackintosh Год назад

No heat, just cold water.

@@aemackintoshwhere did you get this pole set up? Like the rod? And do you have to buy a smaller separate pressure head then your normal surface head? Cheers in advanced.
