If I was the homeowner, I’d have you do the neighbor’s wall because I’d have to see it everyday! Great job!😊

Yes, I feel the same. The outer side of the wall is not visible to the owner and it's very much visually part of this particular property, so I'd make sure it's clean. The owner has no reason to worry about it, they don't even have access to it, there is no logic to leave the wall unwashed. Nick always does spotless job.

Agree I have a gable end on my garage which I had no access to and I told my neighbours that should they want to paint it feel free to do so, as I could not see it from anywhere on my property, no restrictions on what colour either.

Thank you Remy, much appreciated 😊 👍

I don't think there is one of your videos I haven't seen. Totally blown away by your work ethic and ability to get the dirtiest area clean. 🎉 Thank you.

Awesome cleaning transformation. Glad you were able to clean off the eyesore of rust leaching from the side pipe and all the black from the lower bricks. Cleaning the patio and walkway planks was a nice bonus. The home looks beautiful and clean! Excellent job!

You always come up with new situations and procedures to work with. Appreciate it. There is the working line you had to adhere to but your work ended-up enhancing the neighbors place as well. Glad the owners were alert and had the paving done, made a nice completion.

Great video - thanks for posting. Access to these terraced houses can be a real pain! Just a small word of caution, as I can see you are very careful of not straying over onto a neighbour's property. Here the vertical line to take would have been the edge of the neighbour's gutter (not the wall). The neighbour's extension wall was set back from the centre of the main house to allow for the gutter. If the extension wall was built on the dividing line, then the gutter would be intruding onto your client's property. The extension would never have got through planning permission. A small point but, given that some "neighbours" can be a royal pain, worth remembering. With best wishes, Rob

Amo limpeza. Aqui do Brasil tudo é diferente para eu vê. Fico imprecionada com um mundo super diferente do meu. Obrigada

Great video. I just bought a new house and the cotswold stone needs a good clean. What acid solution would you use?

Before n afts are great! I see others wanna know why neighbors don’t go along - I can attest as plumber that it’s difficult to deal w homeowners much less 2 teaming up at same location!!

Greetings from Western Massachusetts, USA. New subscriber here. What is acid wash and does it harm bricks? Is that why the customer didn't want you to use it? 😊🥰

Lovely job mate as usual! Media blasting certainly gives a great result doesn't it, and without some of the inherent risks of using HF. 👍👍

Hey Rich, definitely mate. Thanks as always bud 👍👍

I don't know if you've played with one, but, there are sand blasting atachments available for pressure cleaners. Don't know it it would be appropriate for this job. (prob not) Don't buy a cheap one, they last about 10 minutes. The good heavy ones, work very well and last very well. They do however go thru sand at a freocious rate and can be very messy. Ya gona want at least a cap, face shield and an apron or raincoat. Even if the noise doesn't bother you, wear ear muffs, keeps the sand out of your ears. you'll need a shower and change of clothes after. They will take paint and rust off steel depending on the grit and pressure used. They will draw reasonbly well straight from a bucket or bag, but work better from a prersureized hopper. No big compressor needed.

Brilliant!

Media blasting, I love it :D The bricks on the bottom are still slightly grey, but still the wall looks so bright and even, very neat 😊 I somehow find the obvious line kind of funny, not even disturbing. Could you talk a little about what kind of medias you use and when you use it wet and when dry? That would be lovely ❤

Hi Tatjana, I remember you saying how much you enjoy seeing it, so thought of you when recording 🙂. Yes your right, the lower bricks were still slightly grey, I think they were quite deeply stained with with carbon. I could have gone over them a bit more, but was worried about damaging the brick, so thought i'd err on the side of caution, as the difference between what they were and looked like after cleaning was still quite strong. Good idea, next time i'll go into more detail as to why i'm doing it, and what blast material i'm using. Many thanks as always 💕

@@PrestigeExternalCleaning I'm honored that you thought of me :) Yes, being careful is never wrong. I mean the result is indeed very nice, the slight grey is just a minor thing. I'm looking forward to the explanations!

I don't get why the neighbours don't get together on this and roof cleaning. Surely it would be less expensive for both/all to do it all in one job? Look better, too!

Hi Nick, wonderful job as usual but I am wondering why no chemicals on the walls but it was okay for the patio? Brick damage?

@PrestigeExternalCleaning

7 ай бұрын

Hi Alina, it's a good question. The chemical needed to remove the staining on the bricks (carbon) is hydrofluoric acid (HF), quite a nasty acid that requires me to mask up the windows as it can etch them. It's also quite dangerous stuff to get on your skin, eyes etc. The acid I used for the rust removal still needs to be shown respect, and handled with care, but doesn't damage glass, and isn't as dangerous to skin, eyes etc, that is brick acid, aka hydrochloric acid (HC). I used hypo on the paving. The customer was okay with me using hypo and HC acid, but not HF acid. Hope that explains it for you 👍

Thanks, but i'm afraid you're wrong about that. Steam won't touch carbon staining on it's own. Carbon removal requires HF acid then rinsing off by low pressure cold, or steam. Or it requires what i'm doing here, media blasting.
