That nice old guy can easily turn into that old numpty. I wouldn't pressure wash slate or rosemary tiles, you'll only cause yourself problems. What are rosemary tiles?Clay, slippy as poope to walk onI would have thought you'd want a crawler ladders, soft brush to get the general crap off, and then spray the algo clear and let it do its thing (from what i gather, you wont get instant results using algoclear this way but it will come good in a few weeks when it takes effect)Personally mate, i know you trying to do a good deed but slate tiles are an arse, slippy and fragile.

You need to get off any detritus (dirt) then treat with algoclear (chemical name quaternary ammonium) at a dilution rate of 30/1 (stronger if you want it will work quicker but is a waste of chemical really).Your main problem is access and how to spray, you would need to post pics to solve this. I know plenty of companies that claim that they clean roofs, they get up there, pressure wash it off by taking off the top layer of the tile and the dirt with it (marley (a massive tile producer) actually advise against it).

Quote from: Danny F on October 17, 2014, 08:42:27 pmget yourself a fall protection system (rope grab , rope and a harness), learn how to use it and go up and powerhose it if the slates are thick enoughHave you ever walked on a slate roof? Never mind a slate roof that is p**s wet through Algoclear is the stuff you need but you will need access equipment, whether it be a scaffold tower or an extendable boom. Depending on the size and pitch of the roof you can apply it with a decent pump sprayer or a modified wfp with a nozzle.Danny

Can the op post before and after pics if using algoclear. Intrigued by the results

That was aimed at Slap Bash mate. His alter-ego is Wizard from a few months back.
He loves you too. He's got a picture of you on the ceiling above his bed.
