normal trash tv.. From what i saw expert quoted £700 to clean repair and coat roof lol. Plus mocked any thermal properties yet they didnt name product wonder why? We offer thermal coatings which are validated just not 25% lower heating bills lol. Same old problem when sales guys are commision based. But it did demonstrate how some companies clean roofs:)

I could not believe that it took only 2 1/2 hours to P/W  the roof front and back...

lee cant see how you could use that in the uk , the way we construct our roofs. In the past we have created similar anchor point for a hip using 4ropes suitable stops / grabs using 2  ground anchor points

I agree partially mate. For example the roof in my sig it wouldn't work on but the houses on my Facebook page that you've seen they would.

But surely it applies force to the soffit boards (most are thin hardboard or cladding - hence damage) and also the tiles it sits on - breakages ?
Assume states are designed differently i.e. the soffits + shingle tiles over wood no problems with breakages.

I liked the episode a few weeks ago with the drain unblockers. £65 for getting the pressure washer out! I might try that with the rotary scrubber.  ;D
