Hi
When the roofs appear really green, is that a job for a pressure washer or can pure water and wfp deal with this as thinking if it does it must take ages, do you price consevatorys as one or price it separate from the house, also do you do the roof? And does roof need doing once per month if you do. Cheers guys

NEVER take a pressure washer to a conny roof EVER - you'll blow the seals

WFP can deal with it - applying viro-sol / tfr / ecover will make the job so much easier.

When you start out cleaning connys, its going to take you a little longer until you get up to speed / know the best way of cleaning.

A dirty conny roof is a seperate price on its own and usually a one off unless the customer wants regular cleaning 99% of people only want it cleaning when its bad.

My conny cleans start from £40 (thats the roof, pointy bits and the external guttering). If they want the inside of the gutters cleaning, then thats extra.

Take a look at the conservatory page on my website to see the difference - i use
wfp with a vikan sill brush and a 5L garden sprayer with viro-sol

Thanks, what's viro sol then some king of pre cleaner ? I will have to look into this one, did I conserv today, but I did not price for roof, I just do the side windows.

Lee - charged extra for the internal gutters to be cleaned out like that (£30 and took me about 35 mins to do)

All i did was clear the crap out by hand. Then i got the hose out with a pointy hoselock end that came out like a jet and scrubbed with a brush from my kitchen dustpan and brush set (must remember to replace it )

[lee_dewing]

what is the point hozlelock bit? any pics cheers lee

Yeah nice one frog thanks for the info mate anything to make life easier on connies... Will the sprayer spray right to the back of the roofs or am i best making an extenion pole like yours.. I looked at buying a pre soaker before but i thought maybe the flow would be to weak but i will be buying one now cheers!!!

[Blue Frog Systems]

The sprayer will spray right up... i have one with an adjustable head that can go from mist to jet (jet is really handy when its a little on the windy side)

The pole sprayer i use for fascias

[Blue Frog Systems]
