- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2021
- Everything you need to start up roof cleaning, this is a fairly budget setup which will get you far. I'm constantly upgrading as I go and as roof cleaning has quickly become my main source of income I will keep re-investing back into it. Will update you all in a years time with how the setup has changed.
Thanks!

Hi Folks please note this is dedicated towards a starter setup not a fully efficient roof cleaning setup. The biggest upgrades you should spend your money on is on the soft washing side of things, Rutland pumps do an awesome soft washing system that comes highly recommended which is a future investment once the new van is sorted! Hope you enjoy (:
Awesome video. Lots of really useful info. Thank you!
Another great video! Great set up, will be interesting to see how your equipment changes over time 😊 keep the videos coming 👍xx
Its going to be expensive :D Thank you xx
A great insight into your kit. As always a nice simple explanation, thanks.
Cheers Ched!
Great set up video Sid that's going to help a lot of people in knowing what they need to get started 👍
Cheers Lee! 👍🙏
The ladder mate and the microlite are awesome bits of kit i worked for sky tv fitting dishes and they are 2 of the bits they use. I would highly recommend the ladder mate to any one who uses ladders every day
Great video, I’d love to see more of the educational content!
Look forward to seeing your business growth over the next few months, this will be my first full season so its good to get any tips. I love roof cleaning but looking into doing driveway cleaning and patio too. 👍
Yeah mate good luck to you. Hard work will pay off :)
Really useful video mate as always - thanks! 👍🏻
Cheers mate 👍🙏
Hi mate thanks for the video with the 3m mask you can get clips and pre filters (p3) for the mask to prolong the life of the filter just change the pre filters 5 to 1 set of main filters 👍 keep up the good work.
Excellent informative video again sid
Cheers Justin 👍✊
Fantastic video Sid. very useful 👍
Cheers Dave!
Thank you for sharing what you use on the job.
You are so welcome!
Another brilliant video Sid 👌
I've been roof cleaning for a while, using a pressure washer with a flat surface cleaner and been planning moving to scrape and biocide for a few.
Your videos have been extremely helpful.
Thanks 👍
Could you point me towards a decent harness please?
Good stuff mark I’m glad I can help 👍 harness wise I would recommend heading to arco.co.uk and searching in their fall arrest kit section. Anything on there is good stuff
Brilliant stuff mate👍👍👍
Thanks man good luck!
Cheers for the tip on the sealed bag for the mask.. will be doing that to extend the life. I think I’ve had my filters around 2-3 weeks and been great for Carpet chems and Hypo so far. Haven’t used any bio to test them, crazy how much kit you own being an exterior cleaner!
Yeah it's a good shout, When someone told me i was like.. ohhh yeah :D The masks don't last long at all without it.
Thanks for the video
Cheers mate!
Great insight !! I’m not ladder competent enough to be doing what you do ! So I will keep my feet on the ground!! Lol
haha I'd advise that too. they're a last resort for me now
Them wolf brushes are Realy good buddy! Great tip
Yeah I genuinely love their tools, really great quality.
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning yep I’ve bought nearly every single attachment there is for it and more polls! 😂
I wish they did a longer pole! It’s super rigid and lightweight
Excellent stay 👌safe.
Cheers Geoff, I'll try!
Brilliant Sid, another detailed packed video, you could be a roof cleaning equipment salesman 🤣👍🏼
Really looking forward to see you new softwash kit, is it from Rutland Pumps?
I’ve been on a big clean last two days and my new Marshall Pro kit arrived today ready for two monster cleans I’ve got booked for next three days so I’ll be putting it to the test.
Going to start my own channel at some point once I can think of something you haven’t! 🤪👍🏼
cheers mate! yeah it'll be a bit of a longer wait for that as im getting a van sorted first!
ah awesome let me know how you find it! and haha good man i look forward to the vids
Hi sid where can I get the ladder step from… and also the metal attachments for the scrapper to fit my poles as I keep braking the plastic ones thanks 🙏 and the channel is brilliant keep up the good work 😉
Great video Sid👍I love the basic tesco black heavy duty gloves. Your filters should last you 3 months with daily use. Otherwise your throwing money away
I thought you can get away with it for a while but I’ve heard conflicting thoughts so I’d rather be safe than sorry, never know until it’s too late! The jobs are priced so well anyway so it’s genuinely no bother for me.
Thank you mate 👍
Hi Sid, the fall arrest lanyard would do you no good, you need a 1 metre fall restraint, you would hit the floor before the fall arrest activated. Great videos by the way.
Oh really? It’s mainly for roof ladder work and this one was recommended to me. Hopefully I never have to find out but I’ll look at getting a 1m one instead thank you for that!
Nice little office table at the front of the garage for the old paper work 😂
Hahaha! It hurts my back having to sit at that all day for sure
Nice vid could you do something with regards to the legal side of this for example the permits you need etc ??
did you find the chemical suit any good? What do you use now? Cheers. Big fan of your videos, find the roof cleaning ones very therapeutic.
What did you say hooked onto the bottom of the ladders, to stop it going anywhere?
Do you agree with pressure washing roofs.watched a few now and some people are for it and some against.new subscriber and I’ve watched 3 or your videos so far.saw the one about your anxiety.keep the mind active mate.all the best to you .great videos 👍🏼
Hi mate I agree with it in some roofs in some instances, I think if done properly and correct aftercare is taken then it is a fine way to clean a roof. However with steam cleaning getting more popular I think it may be more worth while to steam rather than pressure as it’s much lower pressure hitting the roof.
For now I’m happy to scrape and bio but in future I will upgrade some jobs to steam and bio.
Cheers for subscribing and watching mate 😜
what is the price for cleaning a roof? normal 3bed house terrace.cheers.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍
Wat kind of battery do u use to pump water 4 window cleaning
Hi mate I don't really do any WFP window cleaning anymore, if i do it's the odd job so just use a backpack.
Do you just have 1 backpack for the chemicals? Or a separate one for washing gutters? I can only afford 1 wfp atm so will have to make do with change between using chemicals and attaching scrappers not ideal 🤦🏻♂️
I only use 1 backpack for each chemical but I use a watering can for hypo on driveways.
If you rinse out extremely thoroughly it’ll be fine just be careful! And yeah I used to switch out the same pole it was quite annoying :D just every time you complete a job, reinvest some of it into a new thing, that’s all I do :)
can i use SH over biocide?
Hi mate
Top vid as usual fella 👌👍👍
Where do you get your hypo 👍
Hi mate that one there is from Pureseal.
Cheers mate!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning cheers mate been buying off ebay a lot of it's been shit 👍👍
Yeah I’m not really a hypo man but pure seal came highly recommended but I think Benz do some that I might try out
Hi Sid, loving your channel mate👍 I’ve got a really old house to price and clean with a lot of wall hung tiles ( exterior) just wondered if you’ve ever cleaned these and how you do it?? Would you use hypo??
Really would appreciate your advise
Hi mate, I must admit I haven't cleaned those vertical tiles before, however i would steam clean those or pressure wash as they are not a barrier into the house as there will be some brick behind it most likely. (Double check as im not completely sure) I'd probably pressure wash i'd start low, see how theyre coming up and adjust pressure if needed.
I'm not an expert on that sort of thing though so you may want to double check on a pressure washing / soft washing forum just incase I'm giving horrible advice!
And thanks for the support appreciate it!
Ok thanks mate .. I hadn’t thought of pressure washing them! I’ve had a rough measure up and there is at least 180m2 of roof and at least 150m2 of wall tiles.. I’ve only done one small roof before so struggling to price it.. I’m thinking around £2.5k?? Does that sound a fair price to you??
Thanks for your help and keep up the good work mate.
@@charliealder4794 Yeah me personally I don't pressure wash roofs but if done correctly it's fine. The main reason I don't do it is working alone there's no one to man the machine so id rather clean roofs a solo way (:
Yeah that price sounds fine mate, sounds like you'd be there half the week ish or more so all in all even if it takes a week it's still a good wage!
If you needed a more accurate price you can message me the address and i'll have a look on google and let you know my thoughts.
Cheers mate!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thanks so much for your help Sid, I know the house but not the address ! I will try and get it if you don’t mind having a look
@@charliealder4794 Yeah any time mate, may take me a while to get back to you but I will eventually!
does this make the tiles porous
Hi Sid have you tried out any of the other scraper brands?
Marshall, Benz, Skyvac? Are the similar products made by the same manufacturer and just rebranded. Any thoughts? Thanks as always, Paudie
Hi mate I haven't used any of them personally, I know people that have that said they're fine, others said the blades are too small or don't match up but I couldn't comment on it myself. Would be happy to try them out and see if there's any extra benefits if I get a chance but it's pointless me spending money on them when I've got two of these flexi's and all the blades.
Thanks for the comment mate, hope you're doing well (:
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning thanks for the reply. 👍
Hello Sid, just in the process of buying some roof scraping equipment and come across the Marshall pro, have you seen these and what's your opinion?
Hi mate I’ve definitely seen and heard about them but havnt used them so I can’t give you any advice on it really, I own a different brand so there’s been no reason for me to switch as they all do the same job really.
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning ok, thanks Sid
where can I buy the scraper from thanks
Hi mate google freeman's flexi scraper, that's the one i use currently :D
I seemed to be blocked from leaving comments on your videos, I just wanted to say I bought the original ladder microlite recently and there a great bit of kit.
Hi Mate I was getting notifications for them, youtube is bugging out like mad at the moment there's tons of spam comments. Yeah im gonna order a microlite asap!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Sorry about that.
@@Josh-fk8ml Nah it's not you mate it's scammers posting links to virus's so i think its auto flagging comments down !
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Might be better not to post links from now on, if your are thinking of buying a ladder microlite buy the original as the patent has expired on the original ladder microlite and other suppliers have copied the microlite and are selling them as well.
Good shout mate thank you. Wouldn’t trust a knock off one
How do you clean the ridge tiles?
Wire brush attachment on the pole!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning cheers mate,most appreciated
Do you work as a team or on your own ?
i like see your vidio 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
u welcome😊😊😊
My ex prefered switching poles.
I’ve been roofing for 21 years never have I seen moss compromise a roof block gutters yes destroy concrete or clay tiles or slate definitely not is biocide safe for rivers and the sea I personally just use a broom when a customer wants rid of moss
You are a pompous .......?
... thanks for your opinion... lol
