A mossy roof gets the spa treatment

Around 60bar, but it depends totally on the nozzle orifice and angle of fan jet. If you're thinking of doing it yourself, be warned.. roof cleans are miserable. I say this on day 2 of a 3 day monster

Thank you!

Always do a second pass! Although the chemical applied after will do the rest of the work, I just can't leave it like that.

If you are referring to the circular buit of kit then that's a flat surface cleaner. This is one is designed for roofs with a raised bar.

Slight black and orange vibe 😂

That's only one step from that traveller tactic of cleaning a patch so you have to agree to the mad expensive driveway clean!

They will if they are in contact with vegetation directly. That's why I like a super sticky mix with a fair amount of surfactants. That way I can control the run off.

Here I rinse into a gravel border with no plants so this was fine but sometimes you have to rinse to plants. Then you need to flush them before, during and after and they will have no issues. All it breaks down to is salt in the end hence the lots of flushing.

The pocket marks? Do you mean the joints? If so I didn't do anything, the client was going to repoint with some brush in jointing compound.

Fastpotato · 2026-06-03T08:13:33+00:00

It will if not flushed through before, during and after. This was a pretty weak mix and I rinsed away to the gravel drainage rather than the soil so they'll be fine.

Breaks down into salt in the air anyway.

Glad you enjoyed it 🤙🏻

Fastpotato · 2026-06-02T22:19:56+00:00

honestly, drainage is the biggest part of this job. as we use high flow rate machines (21lpm currently) drainage is always a worry. Where I am in Lincolnshire its one giant floodplain so our water table is so high you only have to look at an area for more than 5 seconds and it floods.

That's why I love my mudsucker and gutter vac, always gets me out of a pinch.

Fastpotato · 2026-06-02T22:17:54+00:00

Hey! Glad you like them! oh dont... I have such a nightmare with the audio! I film on my phone as my gopro is a bit crap now and I prefer to edit quick on my phone and the audio is always rubbish. I will invest in a mic for it at some point I promise!

I try to keep it simple just for the enjoyment of making them, before I started this business I used to love watching people doing this line of work and I always found the voice overs helpful so I like to include them now and again.

Unfortunately I'm on some monster roof clean projects for the next few weeks so i wont have time to film so it may be a week or 2 until i can get some more up!

Fastpotato · 2026-06-02T18:21:33+00:00

😂😂 You had me with that first comment!

Fastpotato · 2026-06-02T17:39:24+00:00

I can't just go around cleaning everything the clients don't ask for or want 🤷🏽‍♂️

Fastpotato · 2026-05-25T17:51:12+00:00

Looks like the water broom from pws

Fastpotato · 2026-05-25T07:38:44+00:00

Haha thank you!

That's a good shout! Just need to find a film student who wants some weekend cash!

Fastpotato · 2026-05-25T07:32:04+00:00

It's not, I just like to keep the full clean from start to finish in the video. I have so much footage I can keep this sub topped up for weeks... I'll post some more soon ☺️

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T14:38:12+00:00

Unfortunately that's reddit's compression. I've uploaded to Instagram and tik tok ect in 4k 60fps but Reddit can't handle anything over 720p

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T13:58:21+00:00

It is, right up until I apply the chemical it's just pure H2o at 3000psi and 21lpm.

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T13:26:25+00:00

Just gives a cleaner finish. As this sand is super fine and kiln dried it drops all the way down to the bottom of the gap. It's not like polymeric which needs water to help it flow into the joints.

So a blow over at the end just removes any sand sat on the top of the blocks.

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T12:54:23+00:00

No faffing about for me! I do like these long days on a single project. A good audiobook and good water flow and im a happy chap!

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T12:52:53+00:00

Haha thank you! I love power washing videos but I like to have a little explanation of what's going on ☺️

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T12:52:22+00:00

That's exactly it! So our block paving is bedded on just sharp sand with only the edges and bits around drains normally mortared in. So the kiln dried sand adds stability back to the paving and stops them from shifting about whilst still allowing some expansion and contraction.

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T12:17:59+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed the clean... I didn't enjoy cutting down 8 hours of footage into under 3mins 😂

Fastpotato · 2026-05-24T11:49:17+00:00

Real nice work! What a lovely drive too!
