ROOF CLEANING Walkthrough From Start To Finish // Partridge Exterior Cleaning

[@larryfeeks6620]

You just get on the ladders and scaffolding like you were born doing it! Cheers!

[@johnseabrook1703]

Mate, you are a grafter, you will go far.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hope so mate! Feeling the urge to get more help on jobs lately though, getting too big for just me to handle 😆

[@blueboxexteriorcleaningser8014]

Your vids are just getting better and better mate. Getting loads more subscribers. 👍👍👍👍

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Thanks buddy, I did put some effort in on this one lol 😂

[@hauntedbywolves1980]

Brilliant video Sid, super detailed. I think another reason your video’s are so successful is you go into the intricate detail from start to finish. I think that’s what’s sets you apart from similar Y.T channels. Brilliant on the H&S too, the only thing I would suggest is would you consider wearing a helmet. I know your very confident & capable on ladders but you just never know also it’s a perception thing if you know what I mean 😉 I got a job last year and even though I put in a higher price than my competition I won it on the basis I wore a helmet & high vis vest! Another great job 😃👍🏼

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate I appreciate the feedback a lot. and you're so right, my helmet is in my work box sat there doing nothing, keep forgetting to put it on but I won't forget next time.. hopefully :D

Great video again Sid. Top work bud 👍

Thanks Dave appreciate that mate

[@neilbovey4945]

Great video mate. That’s really thorough. Like the fact that you’ve incorporated your thought process as to why you’ve approached things in the way that you’ve have. Also rocking some new graphics!!

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers Neil, Yeah thought it'd be worth a shot as I reckon a year ago I would of been scratching my head about a few of the sections on here. Cheers matey :D

[@stevencottrell3046]

Love these tiles, so nice/easy to scrape and make up for a lot of the other, more difficult ones 👍🏻 great job bud 👍🏻

That brush looks quality, does It perform a lot better with 4 jets on the gutter/fascia/soffit cleaning?

Very useful thanks

[@BigBadBarker]

Hey dude, any place there is a sky dish you should find an eye bolt about waist height to strap your ladders to.

[@mazman8343]

Great video. Is that scaffold tower smaller than the first one you used.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate it’s built up to the same height as last time I think but it is a meter smaller, other one was huge 😆

[@davidmurphy7731]

Great job Sid as usual can’t wait to hear what you think about the mi tower setting up and working

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers David, I’ll get one eventually 😆

[@karlcarrington9548]

Another great job! And video well done pal! What do you use to block the gutters when soft washing ?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

On gutters like these that go straight into the ground, anything thats handy, some times tape them up sometimes shove a few towels in there, I prefer popping a towel in there. But if you can disconnect them and hang a bucket underneath it its much better and cheers mate!

[@karlcarrington9548]

[@ljdjames142]

Great videos mate, just wondering do you use different biocides for roof cleaning and patio cleaning? If so can you recommend them

[@lovelyjubbly87]

what pole did you use to scrape the roof with? i dont want to use my wfp incase it breaks. many thanks

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate I use a facelift renegade 30ft pole

[@polznbladz3242]

Hi mate, this roof cleaning looks really hard dangerous work. Do you prefer doing it than window cleaning? For me nothing comes close to the earning potential of window cleaning compared to other offshoots of cleaning, gutters, conservatory roofs, driveways that I have tried. It's so more enjoyable whilst not having to work hard for it. People tell me that doing these bigger priced jobs makes them more money but when I figure out how long it takes them to do a job and how hard they have worked for it, I'm still making much more money than them per hr just cleaning windows with my feet on the ground. Although yesterday I was poling a window and ended up walking backwards into a fish pond. That's a one off thing though

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

The legendary Polzn Bladz, how's it going mate? Yeah the fish pond situation isn't ideal but better than stepping off scaffolding, long way down :D If I had a complete compact round and was working 7 days a week I wouldn't be able to earn what is possible with this type of work that I can do in 4 days, however, possible is the word there, Getting the amount of roofs in to do two decent sized ones a week isn't easy. I'm averaging two a week at the moment but I know that wont last forever. I have a small round for pocket money and can always advertise for gutters, driveways etc to fill up the month if it's a quiet one but it's definitely a lot more stress in the long run than a good window cleaning round. It's why it's always worth pricing these jobs well as they are only done once (: Thanks for the comment mate, watched your vids for years!

[@englishgrandad3298]

Admiring my work the other day walking backwards, ended up doing a backward gambol over a plant pot :D

[@polznbladz3242]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Thanks for getting back. I've always been on the cheaper side since I began window cleaning in comparison to other window cleaners. That helps build up a round and also hitting particular age groups, like older retired people. They are more reliable and more likely to be happy to see you instead of turn you away. Like with anything we do in our work, it takes one mistake and it can be all over. I admire your hard work ethic I am sure it pays off

[@polznbladz3242]

[@seanocallaghan1017]

Why did you get them ladder feet from mate nice job 👍 no point getting Tower next day lol

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

The yellow feet? They came with them, can’t get them anymore :(

[@markshaw2097]

Hi sid how much would a basic roof cleaning set up cost roughly?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Basic you can get everything you need to do a job for less than 600 but that’s not including costs for the first job upfront like scaffolding and chemicals. If you want a good setup you’re looking at a grand minimum for quality equipment and everything you need. I’m still upgrading things as I go every month 👍

[@robsmith2343]

Hi Sid, another great vid, you’ll be retiring soon with all this work 😁Anyway, what do you do with the down pipes, do you block them up, then give them a good flush through after? Cheers

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Haha still a few years of life in me before my arms fall off and I’ll have to hire someone to take over 😂 yeah I block them up and clear up the run off then leave it 👍

Well done mate, bit of a tricky one! What mask and filters are you using please? Cheers 👍🏻

Hi mate it’s respirator from screwfix, filters, on the filters section they are about £30 for 2 but we’ll worth it. Yellow and green stripe down the side 👍

Great job man , That was a shift that house 😉 Can u recommend a good mask for the bio side I always get a banging soar Head after it 😷😮

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers mate 👍 I just use one from screw fix but I’m going with a supplier that can get things specifically for biocide so I’ll let you know as soon as it arrives 👍

[@matthewschimneysweepexteri8806]

Could you tell me a link to the biocide that you use please?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi mate if you google GKPRO Biocide, their website will come up, either apply for a trade account or just head to the contact section and you can have a chat to one of the guys there and order

[@Secretcarpsociety]

How do you remove the run off out the gutters sid , do you use a wet vac and do you think that new biocide your using is more effective than the algo clear pro, great informative video again

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hey Justin, I’ll just pop them off wherever I can or if they can’t be removed I’ll just block them with tape or towels then mop up the run off in the guttering. A vac would be better but I have no room for one at the moment unfortunately. And I think it could be however I have upgraded my brush, I use a higher flow also now so the effects I’m seeing could be due to that too. But GKPRO certainly does it’s job so there’s no point me going elsewhere now unless I suddenly started having issues with it Cheers mate!

Hi Sid, loving your work mate, just wondering how long it took you to biocide the roof?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Cheers Dean! Im pretty sure i was done in less than 3 hours, more like two maybe but takes a while to wash everything down, all the equipment etc before it gets loaded up.

[@lucastoal8476]

Hi Sid! Been following for a while, love the channel. Did this one just take a day? Got my first scrape and bio this week! Channel has been so helpful. Seen you wanted some SEO help on FB. If you need anything let me know. Cheers Lucas.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Hi Lucas, Thanks man! This one took two days, I usually focus the first day on scraping and the second day on softwashing. yeah man any tips would be appreciated as im clueless about that stuff.

[@Secretcarpsociety]

You can rent slim towers to fit down that narrow section sid

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Yeah I’m using a mitower Monday so I’ll see how it goes!

[@onetruecharlatan]

Just imagine the first use of the new steam pressure washer Sid. Cleans and kills the moss spores all in one go. No more PPE or biocide to worry about.

Must take time to do up a price on these type roofs Sid!! Fair play, hard work.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

The main thing for me is access, it was all relatively easy on this despite the ladder work so rustled up a quote there and then when I went to view it. Same as the neighbour next door. It's funny though I had a walk up today and went to view it, half the size of this house and still can't figure out a price for it, super awkward one!

[@LancashireProClean]

great job Sid. But not sure you should be doing promotional material videoing yourself up a ladder with total disregard to health and safety rules. The HSE states if you must work from a ladder then you must have 3 points of contact at all times. You should be doing a risk assessment for every job

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

I did put a disclaimer on the screen mate, in my risk assessment that was the only way I could see fit to do get certain sections. It’s taken at your own risk as a sole trader, if I was sending an employee up there then I agree but I’ve spoken to a HS advisor about it and they’ve confirmed it’s fine as long as the customer or general public or any staff aren’t at risk.
