I'm gonna call you THE PIONEER of ideas on this industry sharing videos and everything you have done is been brilliant that's why you are the best ...!!!! what goes around comes around you encouragement makes my business more professional productive and trust to the customers thank you for this three brilliant ideas
Thank you for the very helpful videos I’ve been working for myself for two years now, doing exterior cleaning. Your videos have been really inspiring and I’ve learnt so much about how to get started etc. It’s really busy so I’m well pleased It’s been far more enjoyable than working for a someone in a car garage. Many thanks
Thanks for your comments. I’m so glad it’s working out for you. You might also find my podcast helpful? Just search AM Cleaning from any good podcast provider.🎙️😜👍🏼
Nice one Ash, one of the best bits of kit in my van is the gardiner backpack, I use it for putting on chem and to get to difficult ares to clean windows instead of taking miles of hose.
Another fantastic video Ashley. Would you consider creating one additional playlist...’Everything you need to setup a roof Cleaning business’ then you’ve covered all bases? You’ve helped so many people with your online content, you should seriously consider getting a teaching qualification that allows you to hold classroom style training days that include hands on practical elements. Lots of potential £££££
I have done a video about roof cleaning with that title, and there is a roof cleaning playlist.👍🏼 A few people have mentioned that I should do training. I will have to think about it. Thanks for your comments.😃👍🏼
Hi ash Another great video and I’ve been decorating for nearly 30yrs now and I’ve made massive change to exterior cleaning and you have been a massive inspiration along with Dan from D S Services and I’ve learnt so so much and thank you for all your quick replies when I’m not sure on products are fit for the job !! Just keep up with the vids and all the very best. 👍🏻
Great video again, I use the Gardiner backpack for chemical spraying, drives and roofs. Looking into jet washing and I clear gutters from ladders at the moment 👍
Been watching your Channel for some time great tips. Have only been window cleaning for a year and 9 months, got most of my tips off your self, started off just like your self in a car looking to upgrade very soon. Great Channel keep up the great work 👍🏻
Good stuff. Relocating next year and plan to set up myself. Touching base with a few window cleaners round here to get some experience. Fingers crossed.
I like the idea about cleaning thr outside of the gutter, facia and soffit. I live in Florida so the gutters are usually a mess. Where would I find or describe what I am looking for, for the extension brush? Thank you and love your videos.
Hi great video, am thinking up in the jet washing business , can you tell will the Honda GX 200 a good stater pressure washer , and could you recommend a starter machine , kind regards gary
When you are looking for a machine you need to consider the pressure it delivers but also the litres per minute of water it uses. A 15litres per minute machine is what you need to run a flat surface cleaner, but a 21litres per minute machine will tackle tough jobs more quickly and easily.😃👍🏼
There is a smaller version of this machine (15litres per minute) but a more powerful machine like mine will definitely help you get the job done to a better standard and more quickly. Honda engines are also renowned as being most reliable.😃👍🏼
Great vid as always. Can you let us know what camera set up you use. Maybe even a video on it as an idea for your channel. So we know. As id like to do some videos on my services for my website. Photos are great but videos of some of the work would be great for people to see.
I've been entertaining (heavily) to get a vac system for gutters but I'm watching all of the other gutter cleaning videos and they are clean the debris from the roof also. The vacuum system isn't doing that. Can you vacuum out gutters with debris still sitting on the roofs?
symplemynd57 Yeah, sure. I also offer roof cleaning which includes cleaning out the gutters afterwards, but many people have just their gutters cleaned out as a regular maintenance job every year.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh don't some, or all customers get upset if you clean the gutters and next week they are full again from debris on the roof, or leaves still falling? I guess it would be a timing thing for more leaves that haven't fallen yet. Climbing up on a 3 story roof to blow off debris sort of defeats the built in saftey factor of a gutter vac system....
Hi Ash Love your channel, so many useful tips 👍 Just looking at starting my own pressure washing and gutter cleaning business, hoping you can give me some guidance. With regards to your water feed for your pressure washer, do you use the customers water tap for your Driveway/Patio cleans etc or do you have a water tank in the van? (Just trying to work out what size van I will require) And for power for your skyvac, again do you use your customers power or have a set up in the van? Any help would be hugely appreciated 🙌 Keep up the great work 😃
Sometimes it’s not just hitting it with pressure, there can be stubborn stains that need chemical treatment. There can be difficulties if there is water gathering on the surface you are trying to clean. If there is a large amount of muck to shift, that can be tricky. Using the right type of pressure jets, maintaining your equipment, replacing parts. I don’t want to be negative, but it seems like sometimes people don’t realise that there is more to it than they think.😃👍🏼
Hi all can you please advise me if I need to have qualifications to start a cleaning business roof tiles, pavement and pressure washing. Thank you guys I’m looking for the best way to start and to be hopefully successful. Brilliant videos I will be following you for sure! 🤞💪🙂
No. In England you will just need public liability insurance, and the right tools, and the right know how. I run training sessions to help new start ups. Drop me an email to ashley@aemackintosh.com for more information.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thank you ever so much I will take you up on that! I’m really looking into this and wanting to get more out of life not wondering “what if” in the future. Thank you!
Hi my names Will , I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to start a pressure washing business myself, I wanted to know what kinda BUDGET and if you could make me aware of any kind of licensing I’ll need to get started. Also a good starting reliable pressure washer? 😁👍
Get in touch with Rutland Pumps. You really need a decent 21litres per minute machine with a Honda engine. It will do a great job and last you for years.😃👍🏼
Hi, I`m looking to buy the same Evolution as yours, but I cannot find any mention of Duel pumps on the ones I`ve seen, also They don`t seem to have the chrome handle to turn off the water, is that something you added, or are the new washers slightly different, Cheers
Great video Ash, if your evolution broke, would you buy another or would you go for something different like a slipstream or jetmac? Also, with regards to the Gardiner, I have just purchased two, one for pure water and one for cleaning products. I spray weeds for a living mainly but its seasonal, so wondering how good the gardiner would be for bio or a upvc cleaning product. I see some recommend tfr for upvc, but I need to check that out more as the last thing I would want to do is damage the frames.
Yeah, you have to be a little bit careful with TFR, you don’t usually need anything as strong as that. The backpack is great for spraying cleaning chemicals like that.😃👍🏼
Hi there Great video. I would say to use Autoglym multiwash TFR. It’s much better quality than the cheap stuff out there. It doesn’t have some of the nasty stuff that can corrode aluminium and I personally find it does a really good job on pvc and provided it’s not left to bake on the glass it works a treat
Afternoon all just a quick question ive just purchased a sky vac industry 85 just wondered what extension lead everyone is using as dont want to get one that trips out all the time

Hi Ash do you have a video explaining how to measure and price a job for pressure washing machine please.
Great video mate 👍👍
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Great video, thankyou 🙂
I hope it helps.😃👍🏼
Great vid Ash. I have recently brought the same pressure washer with the 20 inch surface cleaner. I'm struggling to find the work at the minute tho
Spring is busy for pressure washing, goes a little quiet for it around now, just as gutter cleaning is picking up.😃👍🏼
Nice video.👍
Thanks!😎👍🏼
I like the idea about cleaning thr outside of the gutter, facia and soffit. I live in Florida so the gutters are usually a mess. Where would I find or describe what I am looking for, for the extension brush? Thank you and love your videos.
You need a window cleaners water fed pole and brush. There’s loads more fascia cleaning on my channel.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash , 15 litres per minute and 21litres per minute is there a big difference or will 15 litres do the job , what do you recommend ,
Hi great video, am thinking up in the jet washing business , can you tell will the Honda GX 200 a good stater pressure washer , and could you recommend a starter machine , kind regards gary

Hi from slovenia 😉 can you help me and tell me what I need to start cleaning the roofs, facade, yard and solar cells... which equipment
Best regarts
All this information is in my training course:
www.aemackintosh-onlinetraining.com/courses/window-cleaning-tools-and-techniques
Expanding into driveway cleaning next spring. Any recommendations on a decent start out machine Ash?
There is a smaller version of this machine (15litres per minute) but a more powerful machine like mine will definitely help you get the job done to a better standard and more quickly. Honda engines are also renowned as being most reliable.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks Ash 👍

Thanks! Yes, good idea, I was thinking about doing a video on how to make your own promotional video. I will get round to it eventually!😆👍🏼

It’s up to them and what they want to spend I suppose. You can make your recommendations, but then it’s their choice.😃👍🏼
Thank you for the excellent content 👍🏻 can you recommend me a pressure washer to start off with?
Get a Honda engine, with a 21 litres per minute pump.👍🏼
How tall does a ladder need to be for gutter cleaning? and are compact ladders safe? because I do not have enough room for a proper ladder
Thank you
I guess you will need about a 5/6meter ladder. The more sturdy the better.

I’m glad you find the channel useful. Yes, I always use the power/water supply from the customer. Of course I just check with them first.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh many thanks for your reply, really helpful 👍
Nice video Ash what would be the main pitfalls on pressure washing
Sometimes it’s not just hitting it with pressure, there can be stubborn stains that need chemical treatment. There can be difficulties if there is water gathering on the surface you are trying to clean. If there is a large amount of muck to shift, that can be tricky.

Very helpful video! May I ask, would a HONDA GX200 do the job? Think it pushes 3100 PSI and about 8.5 l/m
You will need at least 15lpm to run a decent flat surface cleaner. But more power will always get the tough jobs done better and more quickly.😃👍🏼
Hi my names Will , I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to start a pressure washing business myself, I wanted to know what kinda BUDGET and if you could make me aware of any kind of licensing I’ll need to get started. Also a good starting reliable pressure washer? 😁👍

Try Rutland Pumps. Just make sure you get 21 litres per minute at 3000psi.👍🏼
Hi can you change the battery on the backpack thanks
I think so. Probably best to get in touch with Gardiner directly, but I think they do replacement parts for the main components.😃👍🏼
Were did you get that water fed bk pack washer form thanks
gardinerpolesystems.co.uk
Hi Ash, my wife thinks it won't work starting up in the cleaning business , what would you say ?
It can absolutely work! My friend Paul started two months before COVID hit and lockdown etc. His business is absolutely flying now.😃👍🏼
Great video Ash, if your evolution broke, would you buy another or would you go for something different like a slipstream or jetmac?
Also, with regards to the Gardiner, I have just purchased two, one for pure water and one for cleaning products. I spray weeds for a living mainly but its seasonal, so wondering how good the gardiner would be for bio or a upvc cleaning product. I see some recommend tfr for upvc, but I need to check that out more as the last thing I would want to do is damage the frames.
Yeah, you have to be a little bit careful with TFR, you don’t usually need anything as strong as that. The backpack is great for spraying cleaning chemicals like that.😃👍🏼
Hi there
Great video.
I would say to use Autoglym multiwash TFR.
It’s much better quality than the cheap stuff out there.
It doesn’t have some of the nasty stuff that can corrode aluminium and
I personally find it does a really good job on pvc and provided it’s not left to bake on the glass it works a treat
How much do you earn annually from this business?
hi what model number is the jetwash thanks tim
Afternoon all just a quick question ive just purchased a sky vac industry 85 just wondered what extension lead everyone is using as dont want to get one that trips out all the time
Jay Wilkins I got mine (waterproof one ) from B&Q
@@rickkozarits8930 is it OK with the output of wattage as the skyvac puts out 3300 and most extension leads only put out 3120
Jay Wilkins I’ve had no problems with it yet
👍🏼👍🏼🙂
😃👍🏼
Thanks, what does she know anyway lol
You can make it work if you put the work in.😃👍🏼
