i like the scraper you have there , i did a roof 2 years ago by hand with a scraper . took me a full day on the roof , my back was killing me for days after , knocked lots of them jobs back since then . might start again with that tool though . nice vid
Hi Ashley another great video I've just completed my first roof cleaning job and today I've applied the biocide treatment does it matter that it's now lightly raining will it affect the chemical thanks for all your video's they really help
video's are great keep up the good work, When you quote for the job do you also quote for clearing there gutters as you have scrapped the moss off the roof into the gutter. thanks all the best :-)
Lukasz Kaminiecki I spoke to the manufacturer of Algo Clear about this. They said there is no risk of damaging the pressure washer. I flushed it through with fresh water afterwards anyway.💦😃👍🏼
Thomas Darcy Spina Clean sell the tool and call it the Skyscraper. There are links in the description including one to a video about the pole I am using.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash I’ve just got into exterior cleaning business and all set up with the right equipment from spinaclean so I’ve full confidence in the products I’m using so I thought I would be good idea to practice on my bungalow roof today and found the moss removal quit difficult not sure if it’s because it’s very damp at the moment but it just seemed to really clingy to the concrete tiles and although the bulk is coming off there is still lots of scruffy bits left behind which looks unsightly so it best to scrape when it’s more drier and crispier ? Im applying algoclear pro when I’ve finished also using the elite poles with the sky scraper. Thanks Ash 👍
It seems strange but some moss is more stubborn than others, and some tiles are easier to clean than others. You never really know until you actually start trying to clean it. But yeah, it can be more difficult when it’s wet and sticky too.😃👍🏼
May I ask, the chemical you use is rather expensive so how long does it last. Also are there any cheaper chemicals you would recommend that do just as good job
Whatever product you buy should have the coverage rate on the label. Although you may pay a cheaper price you are not saving money if it doesn’t go as far.
Mowtown NI The application of the biocide will kill any organic growth to the area it is applied. It can also last up to 2years. You can’t help if moss falls from a neighbouring roof that isn’t treated.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash how much algoclear pro would you use on that size roof. I know you mix the 1 litre with 20 litre of water but how many times. Keep the videos coming 👍
It can depend on the method of application. When I was using the pressure washer like this I found that I would use much more than I really needed to. Now I prefer to use a pump system through a brush with fan jets.😃👍🏼
Do you guys every use hypo treatment instead of biocide? If not why? I’ve seen a lot people do it and say it does it quicker and better. I know that if done wrong can go wrong as it is bleach. Cheers
James pryer-freeman It’s not generally a great idea to splash bleach around like that. What I like about a biocide is that it is far more longer lasting, preventing re-growth for up to 2years.😃👍🏼
Question Why Scrap it off not jet it off at low pressure or high or use 10 or 14 inch whirlaway also why biocide not hypo sodium hypochlorite kill moss and much cleaner results It is price or am I missing something Thanks Anthony
I used to scrape before I tried pressure washing a roof. Now I mostly pressure wash them, but I think there are still certain situations where it would be better to scrape like if the roof tiles are quite delicate. Hypo can be damaging to the felt lining under the tiles, as well as the tiles themselves. I always use biocide as it doesn’t damage the roof in any way.😃👍🏼
Hi buddy thanks for this, very useful! Can I ask, what makes your pressure washed able to draw from the container? I have one although it requires a hose connection at the inlet. Many thanks 👍
It has a small chemical inlet valve and a small pipe to connect to it that came with it, but it can be temperamental really. You can mix a barrel of the chemical at the right strength and let the pressure washer such that up instead of plain water. But to be honest, I prefer to use a pump system to apply chemicals these days.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh ah thanks a lot for that, much appreciated 👍 I've been looking into making a pump system myself. Do you know if they can also be 'dipped' into a container of the mix? I once worked for a bloke who had a custom made electric pump which could do that but I can't for the life of me find out what kind it actually was 😂
Jettaway Cleaning Services No. You could be there forever getting every last crumb of moss off. That is why I like to combine it with the biocide application. This will kill off anything remaining and also improve the colour over time. You could spray it every couple of years or so and it would be a great way to maintain the roof.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh reason I ask is that I have done a lot of roof scraping. If I dont brush or leaf blower the roof afterwards then I can see a lot of the loose moss streaming down the roof while i apply the biocide. Then have to go back a few days later and clear out the gutters again
Zoltán Nagy The manufacturers of Algo Clear assure me that it won’t do any harm to the machine. I do flush it through with clean water afterwards. I always include a window clean after doing these jobs.😃👍🏼
No it is not bleach. The effect is not so instant. It will kill off any organic growth and prevents it returning for up to 2years. So a gradual improvement will be seen on the roof in the coming weeks and months.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley, will the biocide kill off weeds on the roof? I have a garage roof to clean and there are these plant or weeds growing upwards from the tiles. Not sure if a scraper will be able to get them out so hoping the biocide will kill them off. Great videos thanks for the information. Danny
Biocide will kill off ANY organic growth. What I’ve found though is that the growth may start to grow back before it’s had a chance to drop off the surface, so it will need scraping or removing in some way.😉👍🏼
domispanek The Marshall Pro scraper is what I’m using in the video. Spina Clean also sell one called Skyscraper, but there are also other similar roof scrapers out there. I hope that helps.😃👍🏼
Yeah, spraying from the bottom and working up to the top definitely helps reduce run off. But it seems so unnatural, sometimes I still can’t resist the urge to start at the top.😆👍🏼
Hi I did clean customer roof with jet wash very clean But to move the lader and to stand on the roof some of the tills brook , tiles were very old and moss was badly stuck , is that my pholt or not ? I do t had choise I should move the lader posh and stand there to clean it with her wash ? Please give my your thought .
domispanek Pressure washing a roof can be a bit harsh on the roof sometimes. It can damage the tiles and water can get under the tiles into the roof itself. Scraping and biocide treatment is a much better approach.😃👍🏼
Barry Shanks I have a Hi-Mod pole from Unger that I love to use with the scraper because it has very little flex in the pole, even when fully extended. It’s a 30m, and I have an 11m extension for it. If you are doing a four storey building though, I would assume you are going to use some kind of platform.😃👍🏼
Poopsy1970 I use an Evolution 2 machine from Dual Pumps with a Honda 320 engine, 3000psi. There are some other similar machines out there, but this is solid and reliable.😃👍🏼
No. I just make sure I am thorough with the scraper, then spray with biocide. I showed the results of this roof one year later in a video recently, it looked great!😃👍🏼
The BASS2DARK 187 It was about 2 barrels each side, four on the large area at the back. You just leave the solution on there, you don’t wash it off.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash. I saw in one of the comments that you charged around £3/hr. is that for scrap and biocides or just scrap. I have been asked to price a job. I’ve got the Marshall Pro already but not sure on pricing the job
Squeaky Clean Dave I would charge around £3 per square meter. Like measuring up for pressure washing, it might be more for a smaller area and less for a larger area. Also depends how bad it is, how hard it is to access etc. Also keep in mind a minimum charge for a days scraping.😃👍🏼
Good evening Ashley, I hope you're well. I've learned a lot watching your channel over the last year or so, so thank you for that. I have a commercial car garage and small showroom to quote. (I'm their gardener but they've asked me to quote for their roof clean ( I have 90% if the equipment required for the job) I'm sure its been asked alot but is is £3 per m2 give or take for scraping and applying the bio then do you add the cost of the bio on top or does the £3 per m2 include the cost of the materials. Thanks for you help kind sir.
Christian Hack I usually charge around £4 per square meter for scraping and biocide application, but it’s up to you what you charge I suppose depending on the size of the job and how bad it is. I did a video on quoting roofs if you take a look at the Roof Cleaning playlist on my channel.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks Ash, I have seen all your videos and find them very informative, I was just trying to get a rough idea of the price. I know I'm at the low end because it's really just a service I will be adding to my current clients. Thank again for your help.

@@aemackintosh thanks for the response ash, my Honda gx390 is practically brand new. Only had it since October it’s probably done 5 cleans but I wanna low the pressure and tried reducing the revs but cuts out when it gets set too low and when I reduce the unloader I’m not seeing much reduction in the pressure
@@aemackintosh thanks Ash just so I have this right turn off the engineer and turn in the minus direction all the way? Then get it going under half revs? Hope that works mate 👍🏼
Joseph Kelly Yes. The roof will gradually improve over the next few months. See my video called Great Results From Softwashing Roofs. The link is in the description. 😃👍🏼
Can’t remember now. It will depend partly on how you apply it. I started out applying it through my pressure washer, but I realise now that I used much more than I needed to. Now I use a pump system.😃👍🏼
zcitzo 070 I have pressure washed some roofs, but I found it can be quite harsh on the tiles, possibly damage them. This is better on the roof and safer to access this way.💦😃👍🏼
Dangerous approach on many levels. No harness on the roof. Ladder on the apex. Spraying with no hands on ladder. Jet spraying biocide and wind drift. No face mask in the drift. You teach some dangerous practices and chemicals through the pumps is not good for them. Shame really because good video otherwise.
Very thorough job done there. Always find these kinds of videos very therapeutic ......

Hi Ashley another great video I've just completed my first roof cleaning job and today I've applied the biocide treatment does it matter that it's now lightly raining will it affect the chemical thanks for all your video's they really help
Paul Stokes As long as it didn’t rain the day that you applied it. The weather actually helps to wash away the dead moss and algae.😃👍🏼
video's are great keep up the good work, When you quote for the job do you also quote for clearing there gutters as you have scrapped the moss off the roof into the gutter. thanks all the best :-)
Yes, the clean up is included in the price of the job. A big part of the work in cleaning the roof is actually in the clean up afterwards.😃👍🏼
Great job well explained. It is any risk to damage pump jet wash when you put the chemical in?
Lukasz Kaminiecki I spoke to the manufacturer of Algo Clear about this. They said there is no risk of damaging the pressure washer. I flushed it through with fresh water afterwards anyway.💦😃👍🏼
Where did you get your scrapers and what size pole would you recommend
Thomas Darcy Spina Clean sell the tool and call it the Skyscraper. There are links in the description including one to a video about the pole I am using.😃👍🏼
A telescopic pneumatic or electric rotating nylon brush will be most appropriate for such jobs..cut down downtime..
Sounds like a good idea.😎👍🏼
Great video . Do you leave on the biocide or do you rinse it off ?
You leave the biocide on. Once applied it also acts as a preventative.😃👍🏼
Great video as usual
I do normally 1/3 cup to a gallon of water...

Good job Mate, excellent video but you should use a mask and a harness .
Good idea. I did this job quite a while ago now. I do things a bit more safely these days.😃👍🏼

Do you brush the roof after scraping to remove the little bits of moss that gets left behind?
Jettaway Cleaning Services No. You could be there forever getting every last crumb of moss off. That is why I like to combine it with the biocide application.

I’ve never found it’s that bad. I can get most of the moss off with this tool, it gets great results.😃👍🏼
Do you wet the roof first before scraping? I see others wet the roof first what’s your opinion ?
No. The moss is usually heavier and harder to move around if it’s wet.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley! Is this AlgoClear safe to use with the pressure washer without causing any damage for the brass pieces? And do you do special clean after?

Very nice job Ashley! Well done! May I ask how much you charged for scraping and bio washing per square meter for this bungalo please? Thanks
