Been out of the loop for a while living and cleaning in my own little world for the past 8 years since I stopped frequenting this beautiful place.

I see more talk about jet washing, roof scraping and gutter vaccing. Back in the day it was window cleaning, wfp v trad and conny ladders .

I've bought a gutter vac and am looking at roof scraping and jet washing. However there are two things that I'm not up to date with and I was wondering if you lovely lovely people could dish out your advise and point me in the right direction

Hypo

Soft Wash

Hypo = sodium hypochlorite ( bleach)
Softwash = a way of Cleaning a building of surface using a bleach solution usually applied by spraying the mix onto the surface

Any recommendations for hypo to use and what to use it on ? Or not to use it on

Hypo and tarmac is definite no as can lighten the colour of the tarmac. So same goes if you are softwashing walls with hypo need to be wary of run offs etc. Personally I use it on walls, roofs and fsg cleans . Need to be careful if using it with plastics so weak mix maybe 1%ish as can turn pvc yellow/pink. Also need to be careful on windy day as With spray drift you dont want Mary next door getting a fright when she brings in her washing. Im no expert Darran and Splash and  few of the lads way better versed on it than me but even if you type hypo or sodium hypochlorite into search box there is some great information. And only recently one of the lads put up ratios to use hypo at on different surfaces etc. But no need to be afraid of using it I find it brilliant and has made my life much easier since I started using it

It’s ideal for killing and removing black , green , red algi from walls  , but it’s not something to use without knowing what you are doing as you can cause damage to the property , yourself and the environment if you arnt careful, the pictures below give you an idear of what can be accomplished .

That is a great result what would that cost someone to get a job like the one done.

Iffy wiring. The connections are not great but are easy to fix in field. So start at battery and check connections, take one at a time off battery and check they are not corroded and are a tight fit. Then look at each connector in turn and check connections are all good and not corroded. Does it have same issue in switch position 1 and 2? If so then it's probably a battery connection or pump connection issue. Also check fuse connections are clean and tight.
Hopefully that gives you some clues?

I can see the point in putting up pictures with the results that helps a lot but you could let everyone know a rough price for a job like that,I was meaning just a guide price not an exact one.

[Slacky]

It’s a mornings work Nigel. No more. With 15 squid in chemicals and all associated equipment, which if you’re tight is just a Gardiners backpack and an 18’ CLX.

Talk about going round the houses 🏡 **** me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Slacky]

No he only cleaned the front; no pics of the rear elevations.

[robbo333]

As Slacky said, that is a very relaxing and satisfying mornings work.

What's it worth to the homeowner? Perhaps £250 or £400, I don't know.
