That looks good did you use just water or did you use tfr on it first

Nice.

I did a roof this week and didn't get paid for it.
We agreed a price, I cleaned it, then found she'd gone out. >:(

Hi Mick.

Try using tfr, makes the job so much easier.

Tried some tfr, didnt make any difference. it just literally ran off the muck!!

If you can imagine baked on bird s**t, thats what it was like, i never had one like this before. Also had the tree sap "spots" under it!!

I agree.
I tried many times it when valeting.

It's a waste of time, you're better off with a detergent like flash or jif.

Hi Mick,
You guys must be in the south - in the North I am luck to get £30.00
for the roof and maybe another £10.00 for the sides. Even lost a few quotes at these prices, but refused to go lower.

same here
the most ive charged for a con roof is £80, but that was a big roof. do you clean it with conservatory roof ladders too, or is it just with the pole?

I just use the pole these days.
Used to do it with squeegee on a pole.

Most I've ever charged is about £10 or £15 I think.
