This was a real bad one!

Part of a larger clean that took 12 hours with more weeds than I've ever seen.

This one is concrete tiles which have long lost their coating leaving them orange underneath all the years of grime.

During this clean the heavens opened which is always nice.

Few things I always get asked:

- Is it safe to wash tiles? - yes if it's low pressure, here in the UK we have solid tiles and not asphalt shingles ... Don't wash those.

- you're not going to leave those gutters full are you? - no... We go around and use a gutter vac to remove all the moss from the gutters. The downpipes are blocked in purpose as our gutters mainly go into soak aways so we don't want to fill them up with moss.

- no chemicals? - I like to chemically treat after I've cleaned the whole roof, this property had lovely big dogs roaming around the garden and I wanted to keep them safe.

- What do you do with your waste? - chickens! No really.. I collect all the moss and silt and then take it to my friend who has a small holding. She has tons of chickens that pick through and add their own fertiliser to it. It's then used as compost for her vegetable plot.

A lovely block paving driveway and patio clean.

Took around 7 hours on the first day and then a couple more on the 2nd to resand and get perfect.

Tried the flat surface cleaner and it wasn't cutting through enough to get the weeds out and the white lichen off even at full pressure and flow.

Decided to stick with the turbo for the whole thing.

The clean was the easy part. The clean up was the longest!

These silicone renders are super porous, couple that with our fantastically wet British weather and they are bound to go green!

I always like to see if there's anything else I can clean at my clients houses!

This patio I cleaned this week came up a treat!
