Large Commercial Building Cleaning

Large Commercial Building Cleaning

( Gloucester Royal Hospital Great western road GL1 3NN )

Gloucester Royal Hospital has been an eye sore for many years. It’s a fantastic building built In 1912, construction on a 149-bed infirmary started on Great Western Road over many years during and after the war it had been built on and adapted in many ways. it was finally complete and established as Gloucester royal hospital in 1975 incorporated a new 11-storey tower which has stood their since.

The building still in good use for many 1000s of patience had started to look tired so they were new plans to add over cladding to give the hospital a face lift.  Many factors how to install the new cladding had to be overcome.. using specialist lifts to add the cladding on were a major part of the build.

Also, the cleaning of walkways had to be carried out before the cladding could be erected, this was due to the large scale of pigeon poop that had accumulated in the gully walkways of the external building. Their were also issues with water pressure and sheer scale of an 11 story high hospital.

Alex from SkyLine SoftWash went onsite to survey the job, after surveying the job it was thought that the best tool for the job would in fact be the doff system which uses high heat and low water intake only 5L per minute. This surpassed the need for high water pressure cleaner, not only saves water but also using heat can clean and sanitize the surface using the heat.

A rig was created and before each drop SkyLine SoftWash were called in to prep the area before installing the cladding.

Work was then finally underway . If you have a large building clean to manage and just don’t know where to start then get in touch with SkyLine SoftWash one of the team will be happy to assist.

What to expect when you have your roof cleaned with a SoftWash System in Gloucester!

SkyLine SoftWash have over 10 year experience in exterior cleaning within the industry and have training in specialist lab tested in both proven equipment and chemicals that have been in the field for over 35 years! SkyLine SoftWash have been on the highest training in the world for SoftWashing and the cleaning, disinfecting and sanitising of roofs!

 

SoftWash is the safe alternative to pressure washing, Many in the industry use the term SoftWashing or softwash but time and time again regress back to pressure washing for cleaning the moss from roofs.

Pressure washing a roof is a fast easy way of clearing the moss from a roof , however in doing so can often lead to

Marshall Pro Scraper

  • Damaged and poor pointing
  • Flooding internally of the roof
  • Flooding into the house

“trust us we have tested these methods and it wasn’t pretty”

So what will you expect when you hire SkyLine SoftWash to clean your roof! SkyLine SoftWash generally will remove the moss by hand using a specialist roof cleaning scraper ( Marshall Pro Scraper) These scraper have been specially designed by a chap called Pete Marshall who came on the scene in 2018 his previous life was an F1 design and manufacturing… He brought these skills and knowledge and helped create the first ever roof scraper! This helped roof cleaners through out the UK increase the health and wellbeing by less working at height due to Pete’s new innovation!

 

What to expect when you have your roof cleaned with a SoftWash System in Gloucester! Bishops Cleeve
Picture of Marshall pro scraper in action

The scrapers are generally used on long poles and many roofs can be cleaned from ground level or from a scaffold tower.. or a roof ladder saving money of the use of big hire equipment and lifts..

 

Generally we aim to get around 90% of the moss off the roof and then apply the SoftWash Treatment. The SoftWash Treatment will kill any remaining loos moss in the cracks and crevices or that stubborn moss that wont quite scrape off.. Many people often opt just to have the roof treated without being scraped and allow the weather cycles to wash away any remaining moss over several months.. you will be intitled to have 12 months free gutter clearing after a Treatment and a 5 year moss free warrantee which is backed by SoftWash Systems

When your roof is being treated you will be asked to get any washing in and keep your pets and children inside to keep you safe. Whilst the treatment is being carried out it will smell a bit like a swimming pool. The reason for this is we use a SoftWash Blend system the mixes specific amounts of sodium hypochlorite, greenwash and water. These chemicals haven been lab tested and are safe to use on roofs to kill moss, algae and fungus.

A good first impression of your property can add as much as 5 to 10% to the value of your home and really help to add value should you ever decide to sell your property.

Safe Roof Access

 

All work on roofs is highly dangerous, even if a job only takes a few minutes.

One of the SkyLine SoftWash team scraping a roof using a scaffold tower

 

Proper precautions are needed to control the risk.

Those carrying out the work must be trained, competent and instructed in use of the precautions required. A ‘method statement’ is the common way to help manage work on roofs and communicate the precautions to those involved.

On business premises contractors should work closely with the client and agree arrangements for managing the work.

 

What you need to know

Everyone involved in managing or carrying out work on roofs should be aware of the following facts:

  • High risk: almost one in five deaths in construction work involve roof work. Some are specialist roofers, but many are just repairing and cleaning roofs.
  • Main causes: the main causes of death and injury are falling from roof edges or openings, through fragile roofs and through fragile rooflights.
  • Equipment and people: many accidents could be avoided if the most suitable equipment was used and those doing the work were given adequate information, instruction, training and supervision.

Safe access

Safe access to a roof requires careful planning, particularly where work progresses along the roof.

safe roof accsess in Painswick roof cleaning
Alex Scraping a roof in Painswick using roof ladder and harness

Typical methods to access roofs are:

  • general access scaffolds;
  • stair towers;
  • fixed or mobile scaffold towers;
  • mobile access equipment; (MEWP)
  • roof ladders and harness
  • roof access hatches.

You would be amazed at the risks i see people taking on a daily basis even in our day and age i have seen people on a roof without even so much as a roof ladder and harness in the pouring rain walking on a roof with zero safety in place. it only takes one bad step or slip and a fall from height can be fatal.  If you don’t want to put people at risk then make sure you hire a professional roof cleaning team.

Roof edges and openings

Falls from roof edges occur on both commercial and domestic projects and on new build and refurbishment jobs. Many deaths occur each year involving smaller builders working on the roof of domestic dwellings

  • Sloping roofs: sloping roofs require scaffolding to prevent people or materials falling from the edge. You must also fit edge protection to the eaves of any roof and on terraced properties to the rear as well as the front. Where work is of short duration (tasks measured in minutes), properly secured ladders to access the roof and proper roof ladders may be used.
  • Flat roofs: falls from flat roof edges can be prevented by simple edge protection arrangements – a secure double guardrail and toeboard around the edge.

Fragile surfaces

Always follow a safe system of work using a platform beneath the roof where possible. Work on or near fragile roof surfaces requires a combination of stagings, guard rails, fall restraint, fall arrest and safety nets slung beneath and close to the roof.

  • Fragile roofs: all roofs should be treated as fragile until a competent person has confirmed they are not. Do not trust any sheeted roof, whatever the material, to bear a the weight of a person. This includes the roof ridge and purlins.
  • Fragile rooflights are a particular hazard. Some are difficult to see in certain light conditions and others may be hidden by paint. You must provide protection in these areas, either by using barriers or covers that are secured and labelled with a warning.

Roof cleaning with a pressure washer in 2021 WHY?

Most people are well educated when it comes to cleaning roofs and know that pressure washing roofs is a BIG NO NO!

So why do so many exterior cleaning & even so called soft washing company’s still pressure wash roofs?

These companies know that pressure washing causes damage but they still do it, Many of these companies use clever marketing tactics to Win the job and then simply pressure wash the roof without the client ever knowing. I have witnessed this time and time again

How do they get away with it?

Many soft washing companies use key words to disguise the use of their pressure washers. Many will use the (key words used to disguise pressure washers)

  • Aqua Scraper (this is a pressure washer on a pole)
  • Mossinator (Pressure washer with an 8 inch disk on a pole)
  • surface cleaner (pressure washer with a 12 inch surface cleaner on a pole)
  • “we will just lightly pre rinse” (usually a pressure washer with a turbo tip on a pole)

If a company is using any of these key words be warned they are using a pressure washer.!

Skyline SoftWash have tried and tested all above methods the findings were shocking.. we will tell you about these later on..

So why do they still use it? a clever business decision to save them money but at your cost.

Pros (good for them) Cons (not so good for you)
 

 

  • quick at removing moss
  • better instant visible results
  • Uses less chemicals saves the company money
  • More profit
  • They can go in a lower price as its cost them less to do

 
  •  Will Strip the fines from your roof
  • Can blast away pointing that’s was keeping your roof sealed
  • Can cause floods and water ingress into your roof space or house
  • Cause water damage internally on furniture, electrics and more!

 

Some skilled pressure washing companies can even avoid flooding your house if they have some experience.. However what they don’t realise is that any type of pressure washing on roof strip the fines off the surface of the roof which also makes it more susceptible to damage along with decreasing the life span significantly

pressure washing will make the tile more porous on your roof which will allow more water to get in. When it freezes the water will expand and over time damage will occur faster then if you left your roof alone completely.

 

pressure washing will give you instant kerb appeal but at what cost?

Wow you had your roof cleaned it looks great “Great job guys” you think in your head.. But do you realise your roof has just been damaged and you have paid for the privilege!  .. You will only see the after (nice clean roof) but what about the damage that it has caused.

SkyLine SoftWash use only traditional methods of removing the moss from the roof by hand. We also have a specialist bulk rinse system specifically design for safe roof cleaning. We follow this then with a SoftWash treatment that kills the root of the moss without causing damage to the tile

SkyLine SoftWash only use the safest methods for your roof and will promise never to use a pressure washer.. no matter what.
