This large, modern terracotta tiled roof was cause for concern for the owner on several counts.
Recent attempts by others to clean it resulted in numerous broken tiles and with the surface far too slippery when wet to safely complete, the exercise had to be aborted.
Over the past five years we had used access equipment to clean the owner’s various commercial properties and he asked us if similar equipment could be used to clean his roof
- without churning up his manicured lawns, given the persistent recent heavy rainfall
- safely without actually stepping on to the roof and breaking the fragile tiles
- taking care not to damage the surface
We suggested a relatively light weight (less than 4 tonne) all terrain vehicle with outriggers and wide turf tyres with adequate horizontal and vertical reach. We also suggested using high volume equipment with sufficient (but without excessive) pressure, in conjunction with low dosage hypochlorite to facilitate cleaning without damaging the surface.
This methodology produced the desired result, as depicted in the photos below.
