Is there a fire hydrant nearby?

[mark bowditch]

Hi Andy
No hydrant as far as I know just looked on Google maps Street view
Two houses with outside taps opposite the gate and it is a cul-de-sac might be worth offering a £50 drink
but need to know how to clean the stuff low-pressure normal fan

If there are houses then there must be a hydrant not too far away but using locals and offering a few quid is easier if they are up for it.

Either flat surface cleaner or normal fanned lance would be ok dependant on area you need to cover (if its massive then lance will take forever).

Is it the older type then? goodluck.
 I would not pressure wash the new stuff; which the makers say  soapy water wash mop and bucket only. Remove the moss with a scraper and brush and a few buckets should do it.  Anychems is abig no no as they dont break down , get stuck in the crevices and then the sun hardens  the rubber.
Find out if there is a landscape service looking after any gardens in the area and have a word; they will be trailering in water for plant purposes at the moment.

Update to the above:
Finally got to look at it today.
Alan thats for the chat it was very helpful but they still say they do not want any chemicals used I am tempted to use just water and see how it goes.
See the pictures below the green looks ok but the grey stuff looks a bit iffy as it has got mastic all around the sides.
Also got to do the castle thinking just TFT and a brush on this.
Also still no water supply available.
All advice much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

In those images it was just 17 litres per min pressure through a Whirl-a-way.

Had others with heavier build up and just use Hypo pre clean to prevent stripes during clean. The hypo lifts it well.

Pressure Washed them on the Saturday
some areas could of done with sodium hypochlorite no way did they want chemicals used
the purple with the swing's flat surface cleaner and turbo to rinse
the Green one Turbo only
funny stuff to clean as the water goes straight through came up all okay one area looked worse after cleaning as it looked like someone had used a pencil jet before once cleaned it looked worse
many thanks
