- Sheesh... on we go! Sorry it's been so long & no update - they say the bad luck comes in 3's but I think we're in the 10's currently :D
See you all in a day or so for the Christmas video bonanza xD

Bit more of an update video today - needed to check in and make sure you're still here :D back to normal from now, I'll male sure to keep the camera on for the absolute terrible days if they continue xD see you soon!
You do you buddy!
We live and learn.
We fail, we learn, we overcome.
You'll learn this when you watch your child start to walk.
Step by step mate, you'll get there!!
You can also female sure. We're not judging here.
Don't worry Sid all will be well 😜
😂 fat thumbs
Welcome back mate, fingers crossed for smoother times ❤
Sid we all understand, you are running a succesful business, you are bound to load up on times and this will make you stronger. Dont worry about us we ARE still here. Just look at what you have achieved in the last 12 months, an expansion to your family and your company, so use your time and focus on what is important to you and your family.
I was getting concerned with the absence, good to see you back
Sid you are such a good guy with a fantastic conscience but I don’t like to see you so stressed. So don’t think about us and focus on the job’s and the family till you have caught your breath again. We will not let you down. We are here and we understand you. Take care ❤
Your not letting me down with no videos. You have a massive back library I can watch. You are human after all Sid. Your mental health and wellbeing is more important.
We are all still here, I’m sure there are others like me who have been patiently waiting, understanding that life gets in the way, who clicked on this vid as soon as they seen you had posted! Your content is great, it’s worth the wait. Shame about Elias, but maybe it’ll be the making of him. Enjoy your Christmas time time off, if anyone deserves it, it’s YOU!
When it rains…..it freaking pours 😢
Just Take Care of Work and Family. No worries with us. Anxiety is nnno fun.
thank you and too right - time to catch a break now I think!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Nice to see you Sid and sorry to hear about all the trouble. As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I've got to learn how to reduce stress levels, so that I can be functional, productive and safe. Key word is organization. It's all on you mate, so it's better to stay half an hour longer after your work for the day is done, checking things out, doing maintenance, washing up of the van and the machines, preparing things for the next day, making sure you are ready to go and there are no issues. Just keep it calm and organized, under control, without stressing. That's why mistakes and bad luck happens. Make sure you find few good lads, adult and reliable. I've learned it's about working smarter, not harder. Good workers, well kept vans and machines, good organization - you'll be stress free and safe. Jumping roofs with all that stress is dangerous, mate. Your babies need you safe. Take it easy, delegate duties, find someone who will deal with video editing for you. It's achievable. Good luck!
You're right Sid, when it rains, it pours, but also remember, after a bad storm, the rainbows are all the brighter! Glad to hear you're cracking on and can't wait to see how the other jobs are going.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, I hope the holidays are the best ever for you!
Hello Sid, saw the photo of the kids. You have been intentionally trying bigger and harder jobs for a while. This one needed doing. A topic that came up this last week was that anytime you start a new category, you are going to have "a learning curve". No matter how hard you research and talk to people, there are "questions you don't know to ask" and "situations you can't guess". Enjoying the work, the remarkable scaffolding. Thank you for explanations and wishing you well. Glad the wind seemed to cut back and the drone shots were nice. Thank you to your mechanics who have been working overtime trying to keep you on the road. It is o.k. not to film in the middle of crisis and to take breaks from crisis, to be able to turn off the "overstress reaction".
Sorry to hear about your troubles, and I missed your videos, but you have a wonderful family and a growing business, so here's hoping things settle down for you soon!
Sid, I'm upset that I don't live anywhere near England to hire you. Wishing the best for one of the best. ;)
I was just downloading Power Wash Simulator and thought "huh, wonder where Sid's been recently" - trippy!
Sid, you’re a brand new dad, you’re self employed and have staff that rely on you and more importantly a family that need and love you. You need to be kinder to yourself, you’re running yourself into the ground. As much as growing the business is important, so is your mental health, slow things down a bit. Look after the existing client base first, once you have the new staff then you can continue to expand. Currently you’re expanding quicker than your business can manage. In turn your bread and butter customer is losing out. You can’t please everyone all of the time. Reset for the new year, plan your diary according to your existing client base this should show you the days you can add more customers. Once you have the staff then you should take a step back and look at the expansion, you are the boss you can’t do both all of the time. You have trust in your brother and your dad, who can train others. Unfortunately the hardest thing for a boss to do is step back and let others have some control, you’re a perfectionist and that’s great but what comes with that is it’s hard to let go and trust others to do as good a job as you. Finding the right balance is the hardest thing, but if you go down because of health then everything goes to shit (unless you have the cover in place to keep things ticking along) Just thoughts from someone who has been there and done it. You will always be successful, you have the drive to succeed, sometimes a slower pace will get you further than doing everything at 100 miles an hour and trying to please everyone. I look forward to the next videos as and when (remember that’s an income stream that can be developed with advertisers etc, you have the subscriber base, Y food for example which can offset some of your costs) Hope this helps👍🇬🇧
Sid, you put yourself under so much stress; relax, work will get done. The faults in your vans and machinery are not your fault. As long as the problems are addressed then it’s okay. Take care of your health, anxiety is a bad thing, it leads into worse things. Blessings to you and yours from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊😊😊😊
I had wondered what happened to you! I hope you have a Good Christmas. Shame about Elias, as you said hopefully it tunes up the kid. All the best to you and your family!
You will laugh looking back - all of those experiences provide huge learning and wisdom, which you’re clearly observing. Don’t obsess with video because you need to remember there are 180K followers of a very young business and this video has been up for two days but has been viewed 36,000 times. Chillax - these viewers are stronger than you think . . .
Great Video Bud 👍👍Nice to see you guys back doing videos again and sharing your work with us 👍👍Your health and well-being comes first Bud 👍👍
So glad you’re back. Missed you.
Sending positive vibes from the USA! Praying things get better soon!
6:25 that pitch is a thing of dreams!
Congratulations on the new baby. We all get flustered in life and at work. Its ok. We will wait for you. Sorry to hear about all the set backs. Sorry to hear about all your anxiety. But God doesn't give us what we can't handle. Stay safe and sane. So excited for you about the new baby. 😊
Sid, you are the man!! I agree with another comment made here, don't worry about the filming. If you get a video out, we will watch it. We all love you and your videos, but we hate to see you under so much pressure...its not good for your health. I love that you treat every job like you are cleaning a palace and your focus is so right on. You are all about cracking on with little waffling. You are amazing.
I found it ironic that such intentionally soothing music was in the background of what looks like everything but a soothing job experience. Your work seems incredibly stressful and potentially hazardous to you and your crew but the results are always so lovely to see. I hope at least some of your clients fully appreciate that you are not just operating an oversize carwash.
So glad you’re back mate. Have been constantly checking for new upload videos to see if I’ve been missing them. Best wishes bud
Plz no apologies are needed nor explanations. I am so thankful that you are well and healthy. Continue to lift you and your family up in prayers. Merry Christmas and a Blissful 2024.
Cheers for the update. I hope its onwards and upwards from hereon in. No worries about video frequency, you're running a teal business and need to make enough money to cover costs and wages. Concentrate on that, and we'll look forward to the next vidro whenever it arrives. You're doing great. 👍
that commercial roof's design was so cool. that drone shot showed just how nifty it was. Hugs, we'll be here. Your content is lovely and interesting. Thanks for the update, even though it's been rough. Take a moment to just breathe and enjoy your family.
To grow in your business the most dificult thing is always to find a good team . Always, however finish the year stress out for me is always starting the new one in peace and good luck, so you may have a wonderful 2024
Just glad to see you back, Sid! Crack on :)
Ugh…how frustrating. I feel for you and your team. If it’s any consolation, thinking about my own tough days, it makes me feel better knowing others have bad days as well. The roof looked seriously amazing when you were done - really pretty color. I know things pick up for you and hope your stress level simmers down soon. You do a great job and we understand if you can’t get a video out as consistently as you’d like. We also thank you for what you DO put out for us. Try to take pleasure in the holiday season and spend time with your family, as that’s what truly matters in the end. We appreciate you!
Good to see & hear that you're doing ok!
Everyone knows that you work extremely hard on your jobs, with all the troubles with the business, the vans and family life. Anxiety is really difficult at times, the Christmas Break will give you a break to relax with your family. Stay strong Sid! We're all going to be here with you!
I wondered where you’d gone. Sorry about all the problems, all while you’re having broken nights with the new baby no doubt. Enjoy your Christmas break.
Life tried to knock you down, but it seems like you got back up and told life it hits like a b!tch 😂
hahaha iron chin
Sid, if it seems like your business is stressful, consider my grandad, who opened a shop in 1920, had to move to other premises soon after, had three children, ten years later was the Great Depression, then WW2 with meat rationing (he owned a Butcher's shop), after the war, food regulations were increased almost every year (though shop was always clean🙂), every time he wanted to upgrade he had to ask the lease owner, even down to replacing the bridge over the brook that ran at the back of the property.
Despite it all he left a successful business to his sons, which operated until they too retired.
Business is never easy, but that's why the rewards are, hopefully, great.
I think you are, like my grandfather, customer focused, and the greatest reward is knowing your customer has been provided with a great service. Every time your customers come home, they will appreciate your work.
We have recently had the whole roof replaced, and it's still a joy to look up and see it. I imagine customers will feel the same pride looking at their clean roofs.
Great to see you back Sid ! As lots of people have already said, we'll always be here for you waiting, regardless of how long the videos take. We're all appreciative of you taking the time to film for us all. Congratulations on the new kiddie !! 👍
I am g;ad to hear and see that you are still cleaning, I so enjoy watching and that you and your growing family are well. That your Dad and Brother are there with you. Keep a good thought in your head and life will sort itself out.
So sorry you’ve had such troubles. As they say, when it rains, it pours. Jus break out your umbrella and soldier on ! Thank goodness you have such a great family to help you out. What an enormous job !! Well done !!
“You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have NOT been found wanting”. Hang in there Sid and know that you are appreciated and that thousand of viewers cheer you on....
A knight's tale reference? Or is it from something else?
Yes, that is a (slightly modified) line in the movie you reference. However, I do not know if the quote predates the movie... @@Randomfandom24
My all-time favorite film!
Life happens. Take care and welcome back.
Shit happens and usually comes in bucketfuls! Good to see you back Sid, you were missed. Pity that Cameron could not work for you full time, he's such a great guy. As for YT videos, no pressure as you, your family & business comes first. Take care.
It's good to c u back. You have went into survivor mode. Just breathe take a moment take care of your family first and yourself. Try to calm down find a way to relax. The videos are great but you take care of yourself first. We'll support what you need to do. Wishing you more calmer days ahead.
Hey Sid, you have a new baby boy, and he comes first so I think you are trying to be chill at home with him so your stress is going to come out somewhere. Thank goodness no one was hurt with the explosion of your pump. Be kind to yourself too. There are only so many hours in the day. I was worried about the baby being sick so I didn’t want to put my foot in and contact you and ask. I am seriously relieved that your family is ok. My sister and I have not being having a good time. My sister had her car written off thankfully she wasn’t in It. Then our mother died. It’s ok she’s was 96 so it was inevitable. However as we were planning the funeral and that night a large tree branch fell out and smashed onto her roof. I’m thankful that she is ok. Last year in two weeks in September my dog died, my partner broke his collar bone and my car caught fire. Pardon me but shit happens. I think you have handled it very well so be proud of yourself. You only want the best for people as I do and that’s what counts. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
It's never OK to lose a loved one, even at 96. People are saying they cried seeing Bernard Cribbins in Doctor Who and I was the same. He was part of my childhood and I'm 67!
I visited family graves yesterday and saw graves for two 15 year old boys, and a 1 day old baby. Grief doesn't ease with age.
My grandfather was 99 years, 11 months when he died, I was gutted
We surely missed you. I'm glad you are back.
When you have a business things like that happen. The great thing is that there is a learning in the process.
Your wife and children give you the strength to keep going forward.
Many blessings in your life and your business. The best is coming your way.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
Awe Sid. You’re such a caring person but priority is always you and your business. You’ll get your mojo back and bang out some cracking videos ❤
Don’t worry about us, ever. Running a business is hard, hard work. Take care of burnout too. x
I was thinking about you all week lmao.
Glad you're okay Sid!
Or well, relatively okay
Very happy you are back putting out videos, you have been missed! Yes life has many twists and turns, it is all good!!
Don't even worry about posting, we'll still be here supporting you when you do though.
Life does seem to throw a bunch of things at you at once. Good to see you again. Awesome job
I have actually felt for quite a few years straight that im a bit too lucky.. law of averages been doing its think lately xD
Yay! I’m so glad to see you’re back. I am sorry to hear of all your troubles and hope they all get sorted. Enjoy your new baby and family. Take care!
Mate I remember you saying you were needing some temporary workers to get you through to Xmas. I’m all the way up in Scotland but I’d happily come down for a week or two to work with you. Very inspired by what you do and would love to learn from the best. I’m no time waster, would genuinely do it.
Long time no see Sid. Its okay to acknowledge the bad things that happen. It keeps things realistic and transparent. Glad you and the fam are doing well.
On the particularly bad days raising your morale can do wonders. If there's something you can do even if it's just a ten minute window. Eat a nice snack, give the family a call. Something to take your mind off the issues for a break. Then come back with a calmer clearer mind 🥰
We all understand things happen to the best plans. Take care of yourself and your family. New videos in the new year is just fine. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Sid your mental well-being is more important than you know then your family, and then your business. If you’re in a bad mood, there’s no reason to compound those feelings by filming . Please take care of yourself first your family and your business. I’m sorry to hear that you in countering difficult times with the breakdown of your machines and dealing with employee issues. Hope these matters clear up for you to make your life less hectic and stressful. Please do not worry about getting videos out for us. Your focus needs to be on the more important things. Please take care of yourself Sid.
Watching from Big D, Dallas Texas.
So appreciate your work ethic. I enjoy seeing a young man create and grow his business the way you have.
Gods blessings over you, your family and the business. 💛
Onwards and upwards,hang in there Sid. Sometimes life gets tough here’s hoping that you have come out the other side
Sod law Sid, we've done the same with gardening equipment, get two of everything "just in case" and then you think because we've got two of everything now we can do double the work or get one job done twice as quick, two strimmers on one job, two hedge trimmers on one job, etc .. then before you know it, one of them goes t*ts up and you end up in sh*t street anywhere, sometimes it's just the nature of being self employed, we have to suck it up, great to see another vid anyway and keep the chin up 😁
Glad you and your family are okay. I don’t think I’ve ever commented before but been watching your videos for about 6 months now and got worried when it went quiet. Phew!
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Glad you're back - was worried!
❤ nice to see you back!! Positive vibes!!
Sid don’t worry about the videos, these things happen. You’re smashing it mate and hopefully you’ve turned a corner now with the issues you’ve had. Hope all is well with the family!
Glad your OK fingers crossed no more issues allways happens in time for Xmas unfortunately.
No video isn't a problem, I've got an enormous backlog! Take it easy Sid!
Hope all your bad days and equipment problems are behind you. Wishing you a wonderful holiday with your beautiful family and All the Best for the New Year!!!
Hang in there! You are doing a great job! Remember to breathe we are all still here supporting you!
Look after yourself Sid, you and your family come first always. I know you want to get things caught up before Christmas but make sure you're safe doing it too. Things will get better again! Keep at it you're awesome 🙂
I cleaned commercial property for a long time. New and renovated buildings. When things go wrong, they really suck. People don't show. Equipment breaks. Vehicles won't start. And let's not forget, we get sick. But, it will get better, much much better. Please, you can vent to us anytime. We understand. 😊 A very Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
Dude you're one of the coolest people ever! Just keep doing your thang and take care of your wonderful family sir!
Welcome back Sid! Been waiting for a new video from you! How’s River doing 😁
hes awesome :D super cute
Wow! That's quite a lot of stuff all at once. Glad you're back!
Im glad your back. I'm also glad you had the issues you did when you did, and not when it was if this isn't finished we dont eat this month.
Things happen, but staying positive helps, but working through it is even better
Still here watching for you. Don't worry just take care of you and your family and business first.Take care.
I’m sorry it’s been tough. Maybe you have to reorganize your business and not stretch yourself thin. Lots of luck. You don’t have to apologize 🎄
Keep your head up mate, I personally run my own jet washing business on a part time basis and if you ever need a hand even a day or 2 to catch up you can give us a shout, I'm sure there is lots of us with machines and kits to help you out.
Been waiting for a new vid
Please take care of yourself! This may be the universe saying to cut back a smidge and take a small breather. You can also chuck some of this up to growing pains as you grow this business you’ve put your heart and soul into to. We will be here whenever you are so don’t stress about the TH-cam channel :)
Congratulations on the new baby! :D What a blessing in the stress! :D
Sorry to hear youve had a rough time of it Sid. May 2024 be a year of growth and plenty of opportunities for you. 😂
wow what a time you've had lol. jeeze man. you know what they say, whatever doesnt kill you, makes you stronger!
best of luck to Elias too, hope he realises his potential and bounces back
Hey Sid we all have good and bad days i am sorry to hear of all your problems wondering where you were , the work you do is amazing carry on doing what you and chin up we are all here and support you Sid and congrats on the birth of your baby 👨👩👦 🎉🎈🎊 ! And a Merry Christmas to you all ! 👍😁🥂🍺⛄☃🎄🎄🎄🎉
Well done Sid … never worry about posting stuff … you have a family and thriving business to worry about. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful Christmas break!
Start off the new year with a bang but not THAT sort of a bang (again)! Take care of yourself!
So sorry you've had a rough time of it recently. I've thought about you and wondered what's going on, hoping nothing tragic. I understand about not wanting to put negativity out and keep things positive. You are handling all the issues and things will be working smoothly once again. Much love from your yt family!
Nice to see you back Sid, life throws sh** at you sometimes, when you are off for the Christmas break get the machines serviced and checked , they are just like a human they cant run for ever without a change..ie oil change etc
Oh my gosh Sid do not worry about us!! We knew you had a full plate especially with a new little one at home !! God has blessed you with a growing business, a beautiful family, a wonderful YT channel . Just take care of you and enjoy your time off. Relax, Recharge and Happy Holidays!!!😀❄☃🎄
God bless you and yours, Sid. Sounds like you are being tested. Hoping you learn everything that these trials are teaching you, and that you have a blessed Christmas with your sweet family. 🎄✝️
Going up to the top in the wind must have been pretty terrifying, I was almost feeling nauseous from here! Your normal scaffolding looks way more strudy in terms of the bit you stand on not just being planks it looks like you could trip over & can see through. So normally the height bit doesn't kick in. But this one is way higher up too! A challenging job for sure just based on that. And I was so expecting the "it did not" to be followed by you falling off so very glad that's not what happened. Though I doubt you'd have been able to upload a video if it had.
If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment you could just take a break from youtube or just do an occasional at-home brief chat video to say "hi, still alive" instead of a complicated filming of a job for a bit. You've had a lot going on and it seems like only yesterday you had a new baby & now you've got another so that's not going to be easy balancing all the kids & the workload and the filming, plus resting! I hope things improve for you soon. You deserve some good things too.
Glad your ok bro
I hate it for you that things have been rough. Firing people has always been the hardest thing I had to do. The kid was a good worker when he wanted to be. He's just very immature and needs to learn the work-party balance. Equipment trouble really stinks, but it's part of the growth you're experiencing. Silver lining.
As for the fire, thank heaven you weren't hurt! Now be careful!!! Your family needs you, and your audience cares about you. Take care. Get rest. Enjoy those tots at home and love their momma.
I was getting worried about you. Was on a mission trip for the past few days but it's good to see you are as okay as you can. We have been where you've been with everything going wrong constantly. Hope things get better
Thabks Sid, for the update wishing you all the best. You are an inspiration, trully. Thanks for your openess, it helps, put everything into perspective.
So nice to hear from you again. Nice to see you doing so well. Just think positive and keep at it!!! Chargeeeee 😊
We still Love you Sid. Merry Christmas!!!
I feel your pain dude! I live with my mum and she is unable to do any physically demanding work so I've been mowing lawns and gardening. The house is a flipping mess as well. I'm completely overwhelmed and just slowly climbing this steep mountain, hoping to find a break.
We've also had issues with my old 1990s Holden Barina and now it's starting to get incredibly difficult and expensive to repair, so we scrapped it 😢
Sid breathe it’s awful when you get such a run of bad luck. So sorry to hear all the things going wrong. We have to be grateful for all the good things and forget the bad. Love your videos but look after yourself and your family. Xxx
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well you know what they say, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so let’s hope for an awesome 2024
Keep well and have a blessed Christmas man. Take a breather!
glad you are back and are getting on with life stay safe over the xmas and new year for your business, and your family
Im just so happy no one was hurt bro! That fire couldve been A LOT worse! The new year is coming! Im sure things will get sorted. :) hope you have a merry Christmas
Never apologise for anxiety mate. Crap happens and sometimes it’s hard to find a mental coping strategy that works. Overthinking is something I’m guilty of and it can suck the day down. Often helps to put perspective into the equation. Some places in the world have real life issues, war, famine etc. Over here we’re pretty lucky compared to them. Dead easy to say though. Not so easy to put into practice. Same with being a boss, never easy when staffing issues present amidst other catastrophes. I heard quite a lot of positives in your discussion. Problem solving, reacting to losing the kid etc. Its when things go wrong that defines a good business IMO.
