Water blast and clean tiles using a 3,000psi machine. Ensure all dirt, fungus, and other deposits are fully removed. Give attention to effective cleaning of the noses of tiles, taking care to not force water up under toiles onto ceilings or soffits.

Applicators should be trained in the proper use of these substances for the treatment of roofs.
