Shingle as opposed to Tile any difference in the process?
Permalink  
 


A question I`ve been cleaning roofs down here for around 9 months now and my running total is around 40 and every single one has been a Tile roof and now someone has asked me to quote for a steep shingle roof around 2000sq ft

do I just clean it the same as tile as in 50/50 mix are there any special problems that I`ll encounter, thanks as always in advance to my fellow professionals

on a side note this site has become a lot better place to visit now that the schoolgirls have left the playground !! and we can all get on with building our businesses PROFESSIONALLY

 

cheers mates

Sorry Tom, at the moment I`m juggling 3 small businesses ( I have to in order to keep my visa up to date ) I`m in the midst of renewing our family visa ( stressful or what ) and I`m trying to get my son into community college ( we`ve lived in USA 6 years and they tell me we`re non residents, bit more stress there then )

Simon, you can go a bit less on the sh with shingle. Try using a 70/30 mix first and adjust it as needed. Good luck with the visa.

Yorkie, now that you are a premium member, I have a quick answer for you!
30-35% on shingles and 40-50% on tile. I NEVER go higher than 50%

Simon,   Generally 30% SH for asphalt shingles unless extremely

       dirty.  Did one with heavy moss so I upped it to 40% SH and

it cleaned the roof just fine !

Thanks for all the help fellas ( how come a Bergman would have a leprachaun as a logo ) job done and I have to say shingle roof are a piece of piss as opposed to tile ( in my humble opinion of course ) no wonder some people can knock 3 off in a day
also there was hardly any plants which reall speeded things up!

Shingles are easy, wish I had more!
You misread my "LOGO" post, it's the same as Roger's not yours

Yorkie ... I use 30% SH. Shoot it from the gutterline. To avoid a lot of run off on steep roofs, bump up whatever surfactant you are using a bit.
