How to make your own roof scraping blade for less than £20

I made my own roof scraping blade to fit a water fed pole attachment
Angle Iron from Selco
Contour tool from Screwfix

Fair play Lee, that’s quality mate and very helpful!

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Cheers Ben I do and will end up with a proper new kit but to tide me over for now to get by this will do nicely

[@squeakycleandave1]

Great job Lee. I love a good DIY

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Cheers Dave not as good as a spinaclean or freeman's kit but will get the job done for now

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Great idea Lee! 👍👍👍

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks Big K 😁👍

Great idea mate
Being a former metalworker for 30 years I wouldn't use a metal masonry blade to cut metal
Obviously did the job though 👍👍

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Yeah it's one of those multi purpose discs but just go slow and steady 👍

Nice work. The only change I'd make is to use wingnuts. With DIY it's important to show your work. I once tried to copy Mark Munro's roof scraper but he didn't actually show how some of it fit together and as it turns out when I retraced his steps I began to suspect he'd just crunched a tapered screwthread which was a screwy pole connection. At least I learned to remove rivets from floor scrapers I guess.

Thanks buddy thanks for watching and commenting

[@CHR15Y-BoY]

Nice idea will try this for my own roof.👌🏻

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks Chris it's a nice cheap stop gap I admit it's going to be as good as the proper ones

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Good stuff mate!

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Cheers Sid 👍

The profile you are using looks like 25x25x2mm
The only issue i see with yours is that your angle of attack is shallow due to the back edge fouling the maximum angle

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks it's quite good not too bad at all but I agree it could do with being a bit deeper

[@davidkearin3622]

Thank you! much cheaper than the £300 set

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks David for watching and supporting the channel glad it was helpful

[@ched999uk]

Looks good. It might make it easier if the bottom edge of the tile is flat is to only cut out the high points. If that makes sense? Great tips though, especially if you arrive at a job and don't have the correct blade. Tanking a spare 'blank', your drill and angle grinder could save you a lost day, especially if you already hired a tower. Great job.

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks Ched yeah it's not a permanent fix but will get you roof scraping till you can get a full set of blades

[@CrookStarGaming]

Great vid! The end fitting that attaches to the blade where do you get them?

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Thanks buddy I removed it from an old water fed pole brush

[@philiporr3844]

Where can I buy the pole from?

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Speak to Julia or Mark at Gutter vac Systems tell them Lee from old school window cleaners LTD sent you they will look after you buddy

[@dogbowlify]

Hi Lee, what's the metal called please? Would like to do the same thing but couldn't hear what type of metal etc. Thanks

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

I got your Email Danny thanks I've responded

[@Eonednb]

I done the exact same thing about 9 month ago pal

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Nice one it don't take long either does it

[@Eonednb]

@@completeexteriorcleaningse750 nope 1 hour, better than paying the silly price their priced at

[@spwaverley]

Hi - where did you get the end fitting from please? ( the one you bolt the blade to) - thanks

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

That's an old fitting of an old Water fed pole Brush

Thanks buddy I've purchased a new spinaclean set now but you can make your own if your on a budget

[@normantonproject9894]

Hello where do I get the template from?

[@completeexteriorcleaningse750]

Hi buddy I used a shape tool same as what carpenters and Tilers use and took a mould of the roof tile shape with that
