Does this scratch the roof and where can I get a scraped like thsi

[@angowT]

I don't think you're going to put anyone out of business. You just show how bloody hard it is! There's no way I'm doing this myself. Well done mate.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Haha I don’t blame you back. I’m back to it tomorrow and aching already

[@hauntedbywolves1980]

Absolute legend, nobody films 5 mins of scraping in real-time 🤣👍🏼 Tower, helmet, Hi-vis ✔️ No stopping you 🙏🏼

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

XD I was going to upload the the whole unedited job as a joke but I thought nah, 6 hours is a bit long for a video XD

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

Fairplay you are certainly a hard-working young man who will do well in business. 👍

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thanks a lot mate! I hope so 🤞🏻

[@FlawlessCleaningServices]

Get the ASMR fans In here they will love that scraping noise, Great video again

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

:D I'll tag it Cheers mate!

[@ChrisWalterAquaManiac]

Great cleaning job! To really solve your moss problem in the long run, though, install copper roof tape. The flexible self-adhesive copper tape moulds to any roof and releases ions that naturally prohibit moss growth.

[@annakeee]

Wow. That is a lot of hard work. You’re doing a fantastic job.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thank you!

[@robertthompson3868]

Had my step son on the roof this evening with a wire brush and scraper he brushed it down to gutter were I put moss into a bucket and then into a bag around just over a half of a wheelie bin four hours done but very hard work you are doing a good job

[@englishgrandad3298]

Had that nosy parker at the end been watching you all day.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

No idea! Nearly jumped out my skin he was so quiet, didn’t see him there 😆

[@Master-Blast]

You fully deserve that 1000 subs mate, your videos have been a big help to me as I recently added roof cleaning to my business 👍🏻

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate really appreciate that! Glad I can help!

[@BrumCraft]

Hi would you mind if I ask a few ques please? 1. What area are you in? 2. What blade and pole is this? 3. Can you use a scaff tower if the ground is graded from left to right? 4. What is a rough cost for this?

[@johnwilloughby9522]

Get Peter Marshall double header its a game changer as you just flip it over fir the wire bush and can get the edges 👌🏼👍

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

i have the flexi scraper doubler header mate just don't use it when I don't need it, saving weight and all :D

[@englishgrandad3298]

Found myself wondering what's worse, roof tile scraping or digging fence pole holes :D

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

i'd imagine digging fence pole holes purely for the back strain :D I'd rather my shoulders and arms crumbling than my back!

[@kaseym4033]

Oh man I wonder what was up with that one corner of the roof. It was bad. Always fascinating to watch 💖💖

[@hubristicmystic]

At last, problem solved, thanks so much

[@andrewjames9977]

excellent scraping, what do you think about the reagade threads? im always having issues with them, and iv had the scraper head fall off a few times on jobs, very frustrating! you have any tips or using anything in particular to fix this.? thanks. and another great vid.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate, im not sure if im just lucky or not but I've got 3 renegades and not ha an issue with any of them! I just make sure to pop an alan key in the clamps and tighten them when I buy it and they've always done me well. thanks a lot mate cheers

Good video bro been watching a few of your videos good info in them.

Excellent job sid and I loved your beautiful fan at the end what a beautiful boy

[@dj-markhartley3961]

Thanks for your videos very interesting channel

[@ReeceMCSORLEY-gf2go]

Great video. Would you have a rough quantity of how many m2 you'd get done in a day (8 hours)? I was thinking of starting a business doing this so I'm trying to work out if the figures would stack up. It's funny seeing you go from nearly 1k subs in this to 150k+ now. Just shows how good your videos are! Thanks in advance!

[@danswindowsandgutters7218]

Great video as always. Am i right in thinking the algo clear pro, that wont discolour the tiles will it? Just naturaly kill of any remaining moss?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah there’s no bleaches in it so whatever colour the tiles are underneath the moss and biofilm is the colour it will go :)

[@ched999uk]

Looks like the mi-tower was easier to put up and stable. I have seen vide where there are hooks that slide out of the platforms (the silver bits) that can be used to hang sections on so you can climb up and reach them for next level. Great to see real time as it does sometimes look like you fly through the job. In real time looks more like 5 mins per sqm! Great job, I bet your arms are getting huge :-)

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Ooh.. you might be right there, I was mucking around for a while trying to figure out how to get everything up easier. Everydays a school day :D It was definitely more straight forward than the previous towers I've used, felt a lot safer moving it around myself too, the other ones i feel like if i made a mistake and it started to tip when moving i'd have no chance in stopping it but with this one I think I could keep it from going due to how lightweight it is. Yeah man it is slow! And I wish they were but I just don't seem to change in weight ever :D I'll be jealous of now me in 20 years though I bet.

[@ched999uk]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning :-) 20 years try 25 more than you, that's nearer my age :-) No way my body is up to that much hard labour even though it's had an easy life :-) Great to see you doing the roofs though, keep up great work.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@ched999uk :D I love the job but I already know there's only so much a body can take so getting the tough stuff out the way in my prime so I can sit back and let another young buck do it when the time comes :D Cheers mate thanks for all the comments really appreciate it

[@colonynaut1627]

HI, I recommend you buy nylon blanks instead and cut them to the exact size using to a scribe to measure, a coping saw or a jigsaw. This is because the nylon blade will change to the ideal shape the more you use it.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate I use anylon blad frequently on flat tiles but do prefer the sharpness of the metal ones on more tricky tiles, tend to get many many jobs out of them too. Wouldn't be without my nylon ones on small flat concrete ones though!

[@colonynaut1627]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Yeah I would prefer metal myself on tiles that don't scratch up but I found there are too many variations for the 12 blade kit from Spinnaclean, skyscraper to cover everything.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah I think spinaclean need to up their arsenal a bit. The flexi scraper alone has about 6 different pantile variations on top of all the other ones. There’s still new ones being made constantly too. I havnt yet come across a tile I havnt got a blade for but I’m sure the day will come with some of these one off pan tiles that pop up every now and again.

[@alanmcgrady2513]

Hi Sid , great job as always. How do you contain run off?

[@andreiapostol9394]

Thanks for video ! If I spray chemicals only without any actual scrapping on my roof will moss go away eventually?

[@lydiaweeks8562]

Another great video! This really does show how hard you work!! Well done👍 xxx

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thank you:D that’s why I need to rest when I get home 😎

[@squeakycleandave1]

Great video Sid. you will soon be over that 1K subs🎉 Was that a 4.5m tower

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hopefully mate! I believe so, think the mitower is one size only, 4-4.5m platform height and 6m handrail height

[@squeakycleandave1]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I think they do one with a 6m platform

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

@@squeakycleandave1 yeah the place i hire from say its just one size but im sure ive seen bigger mi towers out there. I'd feel safer going with a boss tower for going any higher though personally as the outriggers are quite short on the mitower

[@StrangerRecords]

Do the blades not scratch the tiles, just wondering as about to buy a set....

[@rtoplass1985]

that scaffolding used in this video, what is it called or referred to - I need one for my gable end pointing!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

MITOWER 4M PLATFORM HEIGHT 6M WORKING HEIGHT you can get a bigger variant up to 8M working height which may be needed for working on the apex's of roofs

[@scottmclean6416]

What do you charge per sq metre for a moss removal via scraper mate?

[@andrewbirch3060]

Which would you personally recommend? The Marshall scraper or the Freeman scraper?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I can’t honestly say as I’ve never used the marshal. I use the freeman’s and have honestly never had an issue so they come highly recommended from me 👏🏻

[@Davez2023]

How do you adjust the analogue on the backpack for biocide?

[@liamk1990]

How much do you pay for blades? I know a guy who runs an engendering firm and I take the tile to him and he makes ma some with the holes in the right place. I’d say 5-8mm metal and be levels the ends so they scrape better

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate they are usually £15 a pop. I don’t really mind about the price of them as they last for multiple jobs so always make a good profit on them
