    A spiral head lance on the power washer, will clean anything. a good primer is a must if its gone a bit rough.

    cheers chippy, a sprial head lance, thats same a turbo nozel on it, its gonna be tricky on the wagon roof but im sure i will manage, is there any special kinda ladder for wagon roofs.

    get a teleporter with a cage or a cherrypicker.

    you can get a good weekend rate, wash on Friday, paint sat & sun

    I did our shed 3 years ago and used a cherrypicker, but have since used a teleporter with 2 man cage. 2 lads painting, one driver

    Do NOT get on the roof, way too dangerous. Saw contractors painting a wagon roof many years ago , they tied a rope to a young lad and sent him over with a spray gun , by the time he was finished even his teeth were green!:)

    As the other lads are saying, a cherrypicker or cage is the ONLY way..

    you can get corrigated roller heads and extendable handles. The corrigated heads fit into the corrigation of the steel.

    That way you can put the oxide paint fairly heavy compared to a stray gun.

    Off a 2 man cage and herself on the teleporter myself and another lad painted a 2 bay roof in 2 hours.
