How high do you need to scrub with it?

I know you can buy a horse hair brush that it spcifically made to fit on the end of a lance. You could use it with a telescopic?

 I use one of these http://www.spraytech.uk.com/027-hp-mc8-viton-6126010100-563-p.asp on a 5hp  "pressure washer" we use it with a brush and brodex pole for cleaning roofs. You can use hose pipe as there is no real pressure...it does expand a bit tho'.

Hi chris, sorry, ipad is slw responding tonight!

Is this with normal pole hose and window cleaning type minibore hose?
I'm guessing you are cleaning slate & tile roofs like the americans do? If so 8) what chemicals do you use?  ;)
