    Hi Lee, ive been watching your videos on and off for years now, one of the best examples of pressure washing ive came across, ive 2 vans at it in Ireland, ive always used Gx390s or yanmars at 21 litres a minute with spinners to wash tiles roofs, we often put biocide on after we clean them, recently got a mazzoni hot box...do you use the heat to get the job done faster and better or just to get off the white lichen completely...if your like me you probably wo t have time to answer this, regards Darragh from Spooners Cleaning Co. Tipperary

    • @BlastAway
      @BlastAway  7 місяців тому

      Hi Darragh, yes we definitely use heat on those lichens. Softened up first with SH.
      We apply biocide at end of roof cleaned to kill spores etc.

      @darraghspooner9824 We don't run the boilers on diesel. We use Kerosene. It burns cleaner and hotter. Better for the coil as doesn't soot up as fast.

    what do you tell a customer if a tile falls or breaks?

    • @BlastAway
      @BlastAway  Рік тому

      It's a very rare occasion. Mostly a tile will fall if it's already split and the moss was holding it in place then slides once washed.
      We inspect any damage to tiles, ridges, valley's and eaves before we start on the day or at quoting stage and most roofs require repairs anyway so it's organised either by us or the customer.
      We always ensure customer knows of broken tiles and we then send them photos or on the odd occasion have taken them up in our cherry picker.

      That's your opinion.

    Loose the music. You need to talk about what you are doing and why you are doing it the way you are doing it. The comment section is full of questions because you are not explaining your process. Are you here to teach, or to create music videos?

      I'm not here to teach. That's why my subs numbers are low.
      I'm not here to learn people how to take my work.
      Most of my videos are hosted on UA-cam for entertainment and for the purpose of showing the next potential customer what we can do for them.
      So if you're here to learn what we do you're very fuckin mistaken my friend.
