Someone please nominate this man for an award. You're the real MVP mate.
Thanks! I hope you find the channel useful.😃👍🏼
I have nothing but respect for people who do this kind of work
Thanks! I appreciate your comments.👍🏼
The before and after difference is amazing.
Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼
Makes you wonder what falls out the sky in Britain. Filth apparently.
😆 A lot of damp weather with moisture absorbing building materials.🤦🏻♂️👍🏼
😅🤣
I know right? The whole video I’m asking myself, what the hell is that?!?
Organic material that grows on the roof due to the atmospheric conditions.
@@aemackintosh hi your videos have really helped over the last year thanks Im struggling finding the pole and the washer thanks jay
That WAS extremely satisfying. nice to see a good job done very safely!
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Good morning sir from your best admiring customer from Australia
Hey there!😃👋🏼
It was time to do it again last week and this time I had a flat surface cleaner for my Nilfisk. No custom extendable pole so I just strapped it to a window cleaning pole and a rope on the trigger. Sooooo much quicker and much more satisfying.
Nice.👍🏼
Enjoy watching things like this is therapeutic for me to watch
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoy it.😃👍🏼
Ashley, you're a real trailblazer buddy! Thanks much
Thanks!😎👍🏼
This channel helped me with my pressure washing setup.
Glad to hear that my videos have helped you out.👍🏼
New subscriber here from Canada after watching this video! Always nice to see someone using the right equipment for the job, but even better to see the professionalism in your use of those tools. Much success with your channel!
Thanks! I really appreciate your comments! Thanks for subscribing.😃👍🏼
Hello sir your cleaning 🧼 is phenomenal and we used to live in Northamptonshire
Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼
No se si seré, la única pero ami el ver estos videos, me relaja, saludos.. 🇪🇸
Nice video Ashley, I can't believe what a difference it makes once this has been done!
Thanks. It depends on the original colour of the tiles, but yeah, this was a good transformation.😃👍🏼
It takes only one video to subscribe to, and this is the one.
I could and would watch for hours.
I will try to get more like this soon.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh That would be cool :)
A fantastic job, the roof cleaning has revealed that a few roof tiles are broken and should soon be replaced with whole tiles.
Yes, sometimes the moss can be hiding the odd cracked tile and the cleaning process can reveal where they are.
Have u ever had issues with water getting inside the roof area and damaging the internal ceiling?
U make good videos and your advice is sound.
I cleaned hi rise windows for many a year. Had all the specialist gear for doing that and added pest control, window and door maintenance and pressure cleans, over time.
Good business to be in.
I’ve never had any issues with water getting in. I use a reduced pressure setup.
Love the video you get down to business without all the talking great work and the music is off the chain
Thanks! I appreciate your comments. Some people seem to like more explanation, others prefer it without, so I try to do a bit of both.😃👍🏼
Sorry for the silly question, but why must I clean my roof?
Is there a functional reason or it is only an esthetic and sanitary motivation?
Thank you.
Good job 👏👍
The moss can ultimately cause damage, and block the gutters. It holds moisture which will freeze in winter and can cause tiles to crack. Once the moss has been removed I recommend a regular treatment of biocide every 4/5 years to keep the roof well maintained.👍🏼
Wow what a complete transformation awesome job 👍👌
Thanks.😎👍🏼
Hi Ashley, do you ever have issues with pressure wash leaking to roofs ? How do you assess when to and when not to do a roof that you might think leak through? Thanks
Okay, this DEFINITELY satisfied my OCD with cleanliness.❤
😆👍🏼
I never would have guessed the the roof was that colour. New subscriber from Canada good job gentleman.
That’s great. Thanks!😎👍🏼
Sitting here with tea + 🍪🍪 ✔️
😅😂🤣
I’m worn out after watching you do that.
Great job ! 👍
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.😋👍🏼
Oh, I thought that the dirt was the actual roof. Very cool results!
😎👍🏼
What an amazing difference!!! If you don’t mind me asking where have you bought your equipment from?
Rutland pumps. There is a link in the description to more information about the kit I am using.😃👍🏼
Just wondering and still asking are iron sheets also cleaneable? Much love from Kenya , Africa. Loving what you do
Just shows how nature takes over, wow. How long would a house stand with no maintenance?
What a wonderful change.
Thanks! Yes it turned out pretty good.😃👍🏼
Wow! What a difference..
😎👍🏼
Good job, nice work, awesome. Perfect roof cleaning. Keep it up. I am from india (Raj.) Jodhpur. Here is sand stone roof, they wash in rainy season only.
Thanks.😃👍🏼
7 mins of my life I will never get back. It was very satisfying to be fair though🤝
😆 There are plenty more minutes you could use by watching my channel too.😉👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I have just subscribed👌🤗
Thanks! I hope you enjoy!😎👍🏼

Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you find the channel useful.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I do and I will be making same kind of videos
On a business channel
So people can see the work, know the business and know and see the hard work involved thanks again matey
That's some graft,and a lot of money..
Great video. 💯💯
Thanks! Yes, roof cleaning is always very hard work.🥵👍🏼
outstanding job. (Mississippi8 Gulf Coast, USA)
Thanks!😎👍🏼
Do you me asking how much would this job cost? Seriously considering going into this myself.
Wow very satisfying to watch
😎👍🏼
Hi Ashley, another great video mate! Can you do a video on your kit that you use for roof cleaning please?
The next video will explain.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh excellent can’t wait!
Awesome video as always, keep up the good work Ashley.
Thanks.😃👍🏼
Good video as always... I wonder what to use instead of ladder to operate. I see a bit of scalfolding. How you bring to the client? another van? trailer?
Yes, we hire the scaffold tower and line up a couple of jobs together to make it worthwhile. We did two smaller roofs a couple of days before this one.💪🏼😃👍🏼
Fantastic clean beautiful for earth
Thanks 😎👍🏼
Brilliant job! - Been following your channel for sometime now your content and knowledge has encouraged me to start my own pressure washing business. Cheers dude.
That’s great! Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you have found the channel useful!😎👍🏼
Great content..... do you use any kind of chemicals or just low pressure water for roof cleaning. Thanks a lot and keep the good work !
Thanks. I just use cold water to clean and then treat with biocide afterwards. Loads more of this to come.👍🏼
thats the tool i need for roof cleaning much easyer than by hand thanks davey
I will explain more in my next video.😃👍🏼
Another mega vid can yiu tell us what kit and equipment your using please 🙏
I will explain in the next video, but I have put a link in the description to a conversion kit for the pole.😃👍🏼
That is amazing 😮 I need to set up like this for myself
I think I need some advice 😊
🤩👍🏼 My kit came from Rutland Pumps. I’m sure they will help you out if you give them a call.
I wasn't expecting that colour
Sometimes you don’t realise how dirty things are until you start cleaning them.😎👍🏼
Lovely job ash well done and I’m getting into the roof cleaning this year with the same set up and looking forward to doing it 👍👍 excellent work as always.
Thanks. I wish you all the best with your plans.😃👍🏼
What is this kind of setup regards from holland
All the best and wish you all the success Jason.
how is it going for you? im thinking about starting the same type of business
Gorgeous job
Yeah, great house. Satisfying clean!😜👍🏼
Wow that’s an amazing job. What a transformation 👍
Thanks. Sometimes you don’t quite realise how dirty something is until you start cleaning it.😃👍🏼
beautiful professional job.
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Excellent work again! Do satisfying to watch as well 😊🤞
Thanks!😎👍🏼
What is this attachment called ? Also which would you say is more effective. this method in the video, or scraping the moss off then soft washing it ? Looking foward to your reply. Thanks
Great videos by the way
Roof tiles vary from roof to roof, so different techniques can suit different situations and different types of tiles. There is more information about the tool I am using here if you check out the roof cleaning playlist on my channel.😃👍🏼
Thank you for the reply. So which would you say is a more important first buy?
wow amazing and fast ... i'll have to try.
😎👍🏼
Is it just an attachment with your pole!? I want to get this could make a fortune!
Yeah, there is a link in the description for a video about it.👍🏼
You thought about adding a boiler mate for steam cleaning all them black spots would come off then or hypo instead of boiside i find the bio only really works for stoping the moss growing back takes a long time to see the results if u don’t power wash and only scrape the moss and use bio ,good job anyway I bet the clean up on that was a long one ☝️ all the best mate
Yeah, steam would be good. There is a lot of work in the clean up. We use plastic sheeting to catch the worst of it.😃👍🏼
I saw you Were using a surface cleaner at the end of the pole Can you show me how to attach that what attachments do you need to make it work
Thanks. There is a video of me explaining the tool I am using. Go direct to my channel and check out the roof cleaning playlist.😃👍🏼
Real happy I've found your channel mate! I've been investing in equipment ect for a few months now and hopefully be all good to go next year after more investment. Got alot off other stuff to keep me occupied until then but I'm really looking forward to getting up and running proper. Great videos! Really helpful and inspiring. Cheers 👍
Thanks for your comments! I’m glad you find the channel useful. I wish you all the best with your business plans.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks mate 👍
need some help:"i pressure washed my roof, it was wow! looked like new. however 1 year later got all black and ugly again. should i use some chemical to make it longlasting?
Yes! It’s the biocide treatment afterwards that prevents it getting dirty again so quickly. Try GK Pro. Once it’s been cleaned you should treat it with biocide every couple of years or so to keep it well maintained.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks a lot for your answer ❤️
How do you clean 100+ Year Old Tiles?
And what does the inside of the roof look like?
What about replacing the cement around the capping you've just cracked and blown out?
I wouldn’t use this method on very old or delicate tiles.
Hello mate
you doing a great job,
can I ask you, what the name of this kit? please let me know
thanks
There is a link in the description to a video of me explaining more about the roof cleaning equipment. Or you could check the playlist on my channel.😎👍🏼
Great video Ashley your shoulders must be feeling the burn 💪 . Do you block off the down pipes and what do you do with all the moss ?
Yes we block the down pipes. There is a lot of work in the clean up afterwards. We dumped the muck on the compost heap at the bottom of the garden.😃👍🏼
Would like to see how you set up the pole with the pressure washing tool , then i can see if i can find everything here in Belgium .
I didn’t think it looked that bad to begin with! One of the most incredible transformations I’ve ever seen!! Bet there were a few bags of sludge to get rid of after!
Thanks! Yes, the clean up afterwards is a big part of the job.😃👍🏼
Hi, I'm looking to get into this line of business so I can be independent, would you make a video on the tools and chemicals you use and what psi you set everything at? Thank you
Check out the links in the description and the roof cleaning playlist on my channel.👍🏼
hello
can i get i little help?
i got VS-HP-HX6-COMP streamline
Telescopic tube for high pressure 9.4 m
280 bar and i want to buy mosmatic FL-EG 300 roof cleaner.
Can you tell me witch nozzle fan angle, and witch nozzle orifice size do you have?
kind regards
Ivan
15mm fan.👍🏼 Give the supplier a ring if you’re not sure.
Wow, vast difference. Why is all the water run off orange though? It looks as if it’s taking the surface off the tiles during the cleaning??
hello good night, I'm in Brazil and would like to know what kind of machine are you using to clean this roof?
There is loads more information about the tools I am using on my channel if you check out the pressure washing playlist, or there are also links in the description of the video.😃👍🏼
If you don't mind me asking, what do you do about the guttering/waste that comes off the roof? Also, does a roof in poor condition (i.e. lots of broken/missing roof tiles) affect your decision to do the job or how you do it?
Every job is different and you have to decide what the best approach will be. I will block up the down pipes before we start cleaning. A lot of the work is in the clean up afterwards, clearing out the gutters and the debris below.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Hi Ashley, amazing job. I just wondered what you used to block the down pipes before cleaning?
We usually use a cloth or rag to block up the down pipes or sometimes something like a bit of chicken wire.👍🏼
Fantastic work
Thanks.😃👍🏼
great job, just curious tho, you stated it was low pressure, but dont you need at least 2000 psi to operate the surface cleaner?
It’s also to do with flow rate. My machine is 3000psi and 21litres per minute. I’m using it on reduced revs.👍🏼
Can you tell me what set up you got there and where to get it? I'm done using chemical to much risk
Link in the description.👍🏼
Which equipment are you using on this clean up please? Thank you.
There is a link in the description to a video about the tool I’m using.👍🏼
Wow what a great job you did
Grat job bother well done 🤝👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks.😃👍🏼
Could I please ask what surface cleaner and poles you are using please?
Link in the description.😉👍🏼
Awesome!! Can we get a video on your setup and your pump that you use to pump biocide on with please 😁
We are mainly just using a Gardiner backpack to apply the biocide for now. Simple but effective. I will explain the pressure washing tool in my next video.😃👍🏼
So is that a surface grinder, if so how are the shingles not coming off,,,sorry bro im a newbie
It’s not a grinder and they are not shingles. You might want to check out the playlists on my channel.😃👍🏼
Great video Ashley, wonder if you could help? Looking to get into roofs next year, started driveways and patios this year so slowly building equipment up. Could I ask wheee did you purchase the scaffolding and what hight/ size would you recommend for roof jobs?
Thanks in advance
Steve
The scaffold is an mi tower 6.5 meters. We hired it at first until we found one second hand.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks for the update on the scaffolding. Much appreciated. Second hand definitely the way to go.
Would be some great photos from this video for before and after use on a leaflet. Amazing job. What would you charge for a job as big as this?
I measure up and charge per square meter.😃👍🏼
Do you use chemicals or pressure only?
We treat every job with biocide after cleaning to help kill off any organic growth that may be left behind and to help prevent it coming back so quickly.👍🏼
Hi. After applying chemicals you leave it?
Yes.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thank you :)
How job! I'm curious, how much does a job like this cost? How much did you charge for it if you don't mind me asking
I price up per square meter.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh how many meters was that roof?
Not sure now, can’t remember, but it was a couple of days work for two of us.👍🏼
Do you also use the soft washing bleach on the roof or are these results without
Thanks
I don’t use bleach on roofs at all.
Fantastic job again 👍👍
Thanks.😃👍🏼
My main question, as a home insurance agent is, what type of roofing material is that? It looks like architectural shingles made from asphalt in fiberglass but it's still hard to tell.
No it’s not. We don’t have those in the UK. They’re concrete tiles.
Do you have to have a water tank in the van or can you use customers water
I use the customers water supply.😃👍🏼
Ficou bom.demais.Adoro.assistir 😊💓
Hi! What do you call the tool with a round head that you use for low pressure cleaning? Thx!
It’s a flat surface cleaner at the end of a power pole conversion kit.👍🏼
Buena limpieza de tejados,una pregunta qué productos le aplicais antes de limpiar con presión,he pensado en un producto cloro..
Saludos desde España 🇪🇸
How much PSI you did on this job.
Is it cold or hot water?
Cold water.
how many years it will be so clean?
what if spray some wax after cleaning?
Are you able to provide me the full links for those items? My dad would love those!
Looks fantastic...what psi did you run your pressure washer at?
Hello is that a MiTower scaffold you are using is it a 6M? Looks great
Cheers
Ross
Yes indeed, it’s very decent.😃👍🏼
Extremly satisfacty tottallll loveeeee ittttt😍😍😍
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Brilliant results Ashley how many days did that job take. A lot of hard work put in
Roof cleaning is always very hard work. This took two of us, with 2 machines, a day and a half.😃👍🏼
What power of pressure washer would you need for the moss matic to do a roof? Would it be the psi or the litres per minute
I’m using a 3000psi 21lpm machine but with the pressure turned down low.
