Hi all.
Had an enquiry for a clean and seal. Nice chap. The worst part has overhanging conifers and a purple beech tree. He reckons his "man friday" already pressure washed it (possibly with a "toy" pressure washer...

We've been in twice now to test different products. Brick acid, Lithofin Outdoor Cleaner, Skavenska and the new Oxy-Clensa. All of which were, well, crap. We're gonna do a patch test clean with our petrol pressure washer but I was trying to preserve the frail jointing for him.

Anyone got any inspiration? I am tearing my hair out on this one.
TIA

Been up there today with our petrol Karcher to do some more test cleaning. Certainly improved things but as usual the black spotting is the problem. Interestingly, I used Oxy-Clensa on a 290 x 290mm mixed up as a poultice and left on for 24 hours covered with a bag. That was the easiest flag to clean and the spotting is virtually gone - not exactly an option for 150m2 !!!!!

bleach.

mix it up fairly strong, brush it on, and leave for a couple of hours.
I do my conservatory with it and it comes up a treat.
before i had me shower re-tiled, i used to put it neat on the mould, and by morning it had gone

Jonnyboyentire,

How did you get on, after we had a chat?

Embarrasment Reigns supreme Roger, I meant to thank you again on the thread. Cheers for taking the time. Appreciated.

I'll let you know if we ever get the job

that I thought was a done deal.
