I moved in to my bungalow a short while ago and decided to clean my roof. I am against using any biocide treatment, that's just me, but I did do it in the height of the sun last year which was a mistake in itself, a beautiful sun tan on my head anyway. I found a wire brush and duct taped it to the end of a paint roller extending handle. It did a great job compared to the finish achieved in the video and it's been absolutely clear for the last 9 months but I do not suffer from any tree debris like this owner and with it being my own property and me being an idle layabout pensioner I could afford to take my time.

70% of the roof clean the others 30% MUST come with powerwashing.

The biocide treatment means that the roof will continue to improve, and it also acts as a preventative.😃👍🏼

You shouldn't jet wash a tiled roof pal it will damage it, the correct way to do it is exactly how this man is doing this one.

Yeah gotta agree with the video, the biocide is the key here, a far better approach than just pressure washing the roof. I used a product called Roof Clear on my Bungalow, it did an incredible job and nothing has grown back for 2 years since doing it (I had more lichen than moss)

Hi Ashley, just wondering if you have tried applying the Bioside with a old WFP brush head or has it always been easier with a nozzle..Thanks..

@aemackintosh 5 жыл бұрын
Ali Elder Yes, you could use a brush with fan jets is quite good, especially if you want to agitate the surface a bit. But the spray nozzle from DA Components that I use is especially designed to foam up the solution as you spray.😃👍🏼

mark eggleton I prefer using the Marshall Pro sprayer when spraying from the ground. It can be a bit awkward using it from the ladder, so I’m using the nozzle from DA Components. There is a link in the description to a video about this setup.😃👍🏼

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I can’t seem to find any info... what do you do with the moss once removed? Take it away with you? Hire a skip? Leave it in a pile and ask the customer to deal with it? Would appreciate any suggestions.

Mate I found your videos yesterday when I was searching for skyvac instructional videos, I have been binge watching since Great content I am considering starting a gutter clean business as I have been in roof treatment sales for 14 months now and see the need for someone to specialise in 2 story buildings, I have a sound grip of canvassing it being my primary sales medium and feel there is nobody out there canvassing door to door for gutter cleans in my region We spray roofs for moss lichen and mould but I don’t think we would get on those old style concrete tile roofs either them being so brittle, one service we do provide after the roof is clean is a silicone coating to help with porosity of those types of tiles Have you considered that service

I’m told that after cleaning, a length of copper wire should be fixed to each ridge then dropped vertically into a pit on the ground. The claim is that chemicals in the copper run down the roof when it is raining and in doing so prevents moss growth.
