Test Patching With Biocide, Roof Cleaning Tips // Partridge Exterior Cleaning

- Fingers crossed the results begin quicker than I'm hoping, It's always hard to predict with the level on growth varying on every single roof you will clean. It's easy to imagine what it will look like in a year but the gradual change is hard to predict from weeks - months.
I'll do a follow up video in a month and let you all know how it's getting on and if we are proceeding with the job or not!
Would be a nice one for the portfolio that's for sure.
Thanks to the customer for letting me film at his beautiful home too.
Thanks for watching!

Great Video SID. 👍
Cheers mate! And I definitely agree.
Wow! That's a MASSIVE job. Got my fingers and toes crossed that you get it!!!
Worthwhile investing time to test patch that. I think your right that there comes a point with the size of a job where you need to invest time doing a test patch. Fingers crossed to get that job 🤞🏻 I will be looking forward to a trilogy video for that beast!!
Cheers mate!! And yeah it would turn into a series this job would 😆
Fantastic job to get Sid. Great idea showing them a test patch so they can see what a suit will make. 👍
Cheers Dave 👍👍
Hope you get job sid, good advice again. Also always good too show customers that you work safely. 👍👍
Absolutely mate 👍 I’m sure I will get it the customer is a stand up bloke and I’m pretty sure he trusts what I’m saying.
Oh my, love it when you get all sciencey on me. There you are impressing with the way you handle that very long pole, of yours. It looks like a very big job, butt I'm sure you can handle it with all your huge tools. Bye for now, anticipating your next video.
Great property you'll get it and it will look even more stunning great Video Sid looking forward to the update
Cheers bud this job if i get it will end up being a series probably lol
Can’t wait to see the results... you’ll get the job don’t worry about that you’re a top lad good at your craft 👊🏻
Ah I think my quote was too high, still not heard back xD
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning well fingers crossed for you regarding that job you never know, I’m thinking of starting the patio and driveway cleaning firstly but ideally would like to establish a full house clean option for customers, keep the vids coming bro 👊🏻 did you say you were from Birmingham in one video?
Beautiful house! Great video again😄 xx
Stunning isn't it! xx
Great video sid hope you get the job
me too! thanks a lot!
Great video. Liked & subscribed. God Bless you.
That is a real monster mate! Hope you get it, would love to see the end results.
Will keep you busy for weeks!
Yeah definitely mate! A job to take my time on and a lot of problem solving involved i think!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Would love to see how you get round some of the issues mate.
Always so useful to see other people’s solutions and get rounds when it comes to some of these roofs. I hate turning work down if I’m just not sure on any sections, and so often things crop up and I’m thinking “$hit!, this is harder than I expected!”
Nice job, hope you get it mate. 👍
Fingers crossed!
You wasn’t joking when you said you had a big Job to test patch, you’ll definitely get that Job. Any news on the cafe?
I Hope so! and not yet I think even the price we figured out may of been more than they expected, but for how bad that water pressure was I'm not really bothered if i don't get that job ha!
Forward thinking, I like your style when it comes to selling a service.
Has to be done mate, Unless the customer already knew how biocide works I think its worth offering this every time on bigger jobs or even jobs where there isn't much moss. It will save some worried messages over the first few weeks too for them being concerned it may not be working. I hear about issues like that all the time
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning like I say forward thinking and a great approach with the customer. Good vid as always Sid, love your work.
@@lesgradwell7262 Definitely mate, This line of work only gets more complicated the more experienced you get at it i think :D
Thank you mate im so glad you enjoy the vids
Hope you get it mate. I'd love to do that with a bit of heat and a FSC.
Hi Sid,
Don’t touch that roof with anything other than Algoclear Pro or GK Pro it’s not worth the risk.
As a roofer I know first hand those rosemary tiles literally break for fun so if you end up using your cat ladder then except to break some.
Measure the size on the roof (there’s a few different sizes including the hips) and go to your local roofing merchant and pick up a couple of packs of each.
There cheap as chips and they’ll always come in handy in the future.
And please try and get yourself a competent labourer for that job.
It’s an absolute monster so having someone help you out even if it’s just clean up duty takes some pressure off you so you can focus on the detailed stuff.
I’ve every confidence in you that you’ll get the job. Have a price in mind and then price a bit higher then haggle down to it.
If you bid cheap then you’ll end up resenting the job and your body certainly won’t thank you for it.
If they want it doing professionally then they will have to pay for it,
Good luck mate 😃👍🏼
Hi mate and yes completely agree, I explained to the customer that I would only confidently take it on with the method I know and love :D
I definitely won't be getting on any of the roofs, it is too tall for me ha!
Im thinking about taking the job solo and just doing it as a project for myself, as long as it takes type of thing. The customer is in no rush as far as im away and wants it done right. Cheers for the tips mate!
Is there a follow up video to this .
Hey cid thank you for your videos are really appreciate watching these , I’m learning a lot . I’m guessing the answer is yes , Are you okay with putting biocide in the big boy 2
Fingers crossed you get it pal!
Is jet washing the roof not something you would consider offering
Nah not for me personally, the tiles are only 15 years old too so they will come up nicely with soft washing after a while (: Thanks mate!
Great video... They look like clay tiles on the video, obviously can't be sure unless close up, just be aware that clay especially can suffer with carbon build up with bios will not remove and will require a HF treatment. Keep up the great work and videos
Hi mate I thought the same on first approach but when I realised that this house is the only house within a decent radius, opposite a not so very busy road I realised it's definitely black fungi and algae. There's basically nothing around that could cause any build up so quickly as the tiles are only 15 years old.
But thank you mate that is very valuable information to people that won't know about that for sure.
HF ?
Google 'HF' and 'roof cleaner' @@salsalocofrance1
Your jobs are getting bigger!!!
Skies the limit Kenneth 😜
Great video as always 💪👍i run my own exterior cleaning business and just wondered which biocide is best to use as im just getting into roof cleaning after watching your videos 😊👍 any advice would be very much appreciated
Hi Good video. We never touch any roof with Rosemary Tiles they break or crack and replacing them usually causes more to break. We also do not do test area's as 90% are a waste of time. Biocide is still the best but very expensive. Have you tried Fungicide first then Biocide?
Hi could you not use sh then good rinse then a biocide treatment would come up straight away
Hi John i try avoid using bleach wherever possible, and this roof is absolutely covered in edges and pointing's of lead on multiple sections, for the risk factor and worry I opted for a bio only treatment to be safe. There was multiple options I considered including steam too but after talks with the customer he is happy to opt for a slower process that involves practically zero risk and will ultimately end up the same anyway. It's a game of patience, if he wasn't happy to play that game I would opt for for steam cleaning over hypo but the cost would rise quite dramatically.
Cheers hope u get job👍
If they’re wise they’ll get you on board 👍you should charge to quote as well
I think i was too expensive xD never replied to the full quote. Im hoping in a few months when the bio results start really showing they will notice and go for it.
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I was always running about looking at stuff and earning nothing for it , so I’d charge a fee , because some people get three quotes first , just get them to send a video and give them a rough cost explaining it could be more thus not time wasting . 👌
Yeah not a bad idea mate! I lose so many quotes lately it’s crazy!
Hi, Very informative video - thank you. have you visited the site and seen how the roof cleaned over the period? I have similar tiles and would preferably clean them with biocide.
What’s thd best way to put this bio on watering can or sprayer
What would you say is better brushing on the chemical or spraying are there any differences in the result. Great vid tho hope you get that one would be good for the portfolio
Hi mate i definitely prefer brushing, I find it easier on the body and a more thorough clean. Spraying definitely has its place in certain scenario's though
Be very very careful of the fish pond and chemical spray!!!! It will be interesting to see how it goes and if custy come back to you. Fingers crossed they call you back.
Oh absolutely mate I was having a long hard look at it and another reason why I opt for brushing rather than spraying.
Slight bit of wind and I would leave that side that faces the fishes or try and see if covering it up is an option.
I love my animals so nothing gets hurt on my watch :D
Have you considered an organic cleaner like safewash or pure seal eco product( not sure of the name) for the area near the pond?
Did you get this job? It would be great to see the result of the test patch 👍🏻
I don’t think so mate, I think I was a bit out of his price range, I’m going to ask if I can go back In a couple months to see it regardless though!
Hi sid. Hope you get it 😁 you still interested in the Cheltenham job 😁
Yes mate you’ll have to ring me because your number has disappeared again 😞
Where's your number on FB?

Recently purchased a big boy back pack how much biocide do you recommend I use filling up the first time
Hi, if the customer is after some instant results, why don’t you soft wash it? It will clean up in minutes, and then go on working and getting better on a weekly to monthly basis, and it will be a spray and leave job with minimal prep work, biocide treatments are good but to slow for my liking. clients like to see a big difference on the day, that’s in my experience over the last 13 years, you could mix up in a wheelie bin half and half mix, pull from that with a pump and regulator on to your sprayer pole customer gets nice red tiles on the day you could get the job sooner as well because with in 5-10 mins that roof will be red, that’s how I started soft washing but over the years I have invested in a proper system that does it for me haha
Hi mate this is soft washing still just a longer process than hypo, with the amount of lead flashing on the property it’s practically a risk to do the job that way. 1 main water source so limited water access, I did genuinely really consider it but for a roof as high risk and as expensive as this one I opted for a biocide only option as the biocide I use is one of the only chemicals actually covered by insurance for cleaning roof tiles. Now you can imagine on a roof like this if there was an issue that happened I would be bankrupt if I used hypo as it’s not a licensed product for roofs. So basically my insurance say bye bye and I’m left to cost some of the most expensive roof tiles around. I’ve considered every option for this job and can only remain with the insurance covered and licensed method. Cheers for the comment mate and I really appreciate it 👍 it was an initial thought of mine.
hi mate. If they are red rosemary’s for the customers sake I would definitely clean them the original way that started 20 years ago, the colour would be throughout the tile, so soft washing them shouldnt be a problem. the ones I have done in the past have come up like new. Regarding the lead flushing a little tip for you, because it seems like your a bit worried over the hypo way of soft washing you can cover the lead with wd40 before you spray round and also if you can’t cover it up you can get a reverser, that product is called lead x pro, works well tbh, hope this helps you mate! Hope you get the job!
@@Lincsdrycarpets
You’ve still overlooked everything he’s replied with though. It’s not worth the risk with the hypo on a roof this big and expensive, plus good insurance doesn’t cover it, hence the biocide.
@@yesno9834 sorry mate, I’m struggling to understand what my conversation has got to do with you? I’m only saying my opinion in reply and actually just giving a tip with covering lead up for the future in case somebody would want the roof looking clean on the day. I don’t like the way you come across there mate, actually pretty rude if I’m honest
Please Sir what do you call soft washing ?
Is it biodegrable H2O2 or sodium percarbonate or agressive chloride derivate ?
I don’t know if it’s been asked in the comments but what ratio have you mixed it at for the roof?
What bicoide do you use?
Can i ask you what pump and brush you use yo apply the biocide please
what filters do you use for your mask
Hi Sid.....can you give us an Idea of the price......Im guessing £5,000 +
Hi mate I haven't priced it up yet so can't speculate, there's a few finer details to sort out but I will do an update once some things are finalised (:
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Thanks Sid
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Don't forget the roof of the swing for the kiddos!
I'm curious if heating the softwashing solution would speed up results.
What brush do you use for applying biocide bud?
Hi mate I think its a pheonix or a phatom something, 4 pencil jets anyway :D
Hello Dude, just seen your video. What part of the country are you based. Do you anyone local to Luton Bedfordshire? Really appreciate a few contacts. Thanks!
Wouldn't it be quicker and easier for you to wash the roofs and floors with pressurized water, just like you do the floors?
Is Biocide the same as bleach?
No mate almost the direct opposite. The bleach just bleaches whatever it touches, it doesnt acutally act as a deterrent for future growth, I always say its akin to painting over mould, it will look great for a while but the organic growth is still there and will grow back quickly. a popular method is using a bleach and then using a biocide, so you have the instant result and then the long lasting effect. But on a property with so much lead flashing that this one has im not personally comfortable risking it. There is limited water access around the property so rinsing as we go will be an issue.
So what did the test patch look like
We won’t know for a few weeks yet for some decent improvement 👍
Cool look forward to having a look hope you get the job pal keep safe budy
How can i get into roof cleaning too?
Hi mate just try and learn as much as you can and just start experimenting, it's not easy but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. Practise on family and friends houses etc.
Did you get the job?
I don't think so! I was too pricey xD
Does all biosides foam up or do u put sorftwash surfactant in it
The two I have used foam up great. They are a natural surfactant so tend to stick to the roof and foam up nicely. The foam means the chemical reaction is active but the foam is not the be all and end all, the main objective is just to make sure the chemical is thoroughly saturating the roof.
Hi sid, what softwash would you use on this job? Is it the GK PRO? Also can you tell me do you ever pressure wash a roof? Thanks
Sid check out Entrepreneur Army from Florida USA he does a lot of tile roofs and he is good at it
I'll check him out, thanks man!
Did you hear back yet ?
Nah i think i was too expensive!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I would imagine it's such a large job the price was always going to be eye watering .a bigger company would of still charged double . Oh well , The one that got away ....lol
Do a little less talking boring audience.
There wasn’t anything to show but what the point of a test patch is 😆 it’s a channel for information not just cleaning time lapses :)
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning well said sid !!!!!!
