Please help me along by liking the video or posting a comment. It really helps a lot.
Its owning mistakes, taking responsibility and dealing with them that makes a huge difference. Good work
Shit happens and you just need to deal with it. Thanks for watching.
Great job pal - shame about the cladding - these things happen especially with these big houses that have all sorts of materials stamped onto them! glad you didn't hurt yourself on that fall either, took a mighty thud there. I was walking backwards with 6 scaffold sections in my arms and tripped over a similar thing, fell about 3ft over a retaining wall and the scaffold landed on top of me :D wish i got that one on vid
A good job you didn't hurt yourself Sid. Yes it was caught on camera and it makes for an interesting story, but I would much rather that it had not happened. All the best.
Wow, what a grafter 👍
Thank you for watching.
Great job there Paul. It's easy to forget how easily these chemicals can cause damage. Even when you're taking all the correct precautions.
Absolutely
God Paul!. That’s absolutely gutting for you. Amazing honesty to keep it in the video. Glad you are ok after the fall. You done some job on that whole job. I’m sure the customer was ok about it after seeing the results on everything else
The customer is a great bloke that I have done work for before. Fortunately the only damage from the fall was a bruised ear.
Such a great job Paul, sorry for the issues you had. I admire how you just powered through, very professional, as always. How you’re not too sore from the fall.
As mentioned in reply to another comment I had a sore ear for a few days but it's okay now. Thanks once again for watching.
Great job again mate. Always best to tell customer what happened and solve the issue. Fantastic property. 👍
Agree totally. The problem isn't yet resolved but the customer is very relaxed about the whole thing.
Hi how did you end up resolving this in the end?
@@ryanhouston6989 I've organised a firm to get it re-spray. It isn't done yet as we're waiting for some settled weather.
Paul I'm glad you have not cut this out we all have issues at work and make errors. If there taken out we will not learn anything from this and very much admire your kindness in sharing. It looked like one of them jobs and we all have then ones more thanks you
Thanks 👍 It certainly was one of those jobs. I appreciate your kind words and sentiments. Thank you for watching.
Feel for you there mate. Couldn't have seen that damage coming myself. Will be watching out for this in future.
It certainly caught me by surprise. Thank you for watching Darran.
Great video editing ... This is the way to do it ... You definitely could earn. by starting your own school or day learning packages etc Paul is the sort of person who gets things done . great job mate
Thank you. The main reason for making videos is that they help me to get work. If others in the business can learn from them, that's great too. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching.
Great results. What an amazing place to work on. A shame one mishap can wipe out all of the profits.
Yes it's a lovely house and a nice repeating job. Still trying to understand how the damage was caused.
love the video man, it always sucks when u have things go rong at your job. i work in a restaurant and i remember one morning making a big pot of soup i was trying to move it and my kitchen towel gets stuck and the soup spills over the whole fire stove:D and there was 5 min left befor the service started...🤣🤣
Yep. Sh*t happens.
Some great learning Paul, your videos are as professional as your approach to the jobs you do. Taking ownership of mistakes is hard but sign of honesty and character; did you find out what and why caused the zinc damage and how was it resolved?
I found a great contractor that does exterior paint spraying work. The job was worth £2000 but the repairs will cost £1200, so break even situation with a minimum wage.
Ouch! Thanks for sharing the error so others might avoid, I believe those anti rust products are acids
Hi Paul thx for the nice video's you're posting, I'm also learning sometimes. Keep safely going on!! Best regards from Belgium, Sam
Hey Sam. I had no idea the channel was reaching the low countries. Great to hear from you.
Great video , butty. I definitely wouldn't have been so upbeat if that had happened to me. It's good to show that things can go wrong.
Accidents and mishaps happen in all walks of life. What counts is how you deal with them.
Definitely.
I did a purseal course, and I saw the video you posted to the group. I've always learnt from my own mistakes, but to see people putting up theirs is one of the best ways of helping people. 👍
Hi Paul, wow what a job what an absolute dream of a home....
Thats terrible on the cladding damage, look things happen and you aren't one to just walk away from it either.... I could feel your pain.....
It amazes me at the work ethic and professionalism you portray as there are so many cowboys in this trade.
Well done to you, love the videos and the full explanation, great watch and when I'm fit enough I'm fully set at making a go at what you do, I know I won't be anywhere as good but I'll try.
Side note on the cladding, would say using cling film to cover or wrap help prevent an issue on something similar in future, hope you not too sore from the fall...
Regards Al
I still trying to work out how that cladding damage occurred and I have some test patches done with the difference chems used on the job. It's also possible that some chemical residue from a previous clean could be in play, reacting with what was used on this job. I'll report back when I figure it out.
@@jetreadyuk I honestly wonder was someone maybe trying something that you weren't told about and they covered it with likes of shoe polish or something, only when you were cleanong, jet washing etc that it then ran off.
Hopefully it can be sorted without too much costs, although in saying that its obvious they ain't short money.....
Don't take that in meaning things should be just left if an issue by the way....
Hi Paul, quality as always. Just a suggestion if i may, which is to invest in a spray nozzle for your WFP. DA components have a great product. Using a brush, no matter how delicate on render in my experience is not at all advisable, especially if it has been on a while. For some people I wouldn't make that suggestion as we know how casually some people in our profession take a view towards chemical safety and overspray, but you're a class act 👍
Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look.
Love watching your videos as a fellow Yorkshire man haha your attention to detail is brilliant bud keep up the good work. Definitely seen a drop in work load this year so far, weather's been rubbish hasn't it.
Yes it's been a slow start to the year but the phone has started ringing now. Thank you for watching.
@jetreadyuk Yeah I've around 7 quotes to look at today 2 cleans and a roof clean tomorrow, just out of interest where do you get your hypo from? I need some decent surfactant too
@@PerfectPressureWashing I usually get hypo and surfactant from Pureseal who have a great deal going for recycled drums ♻️. More locally, R & D Products in Cleckheaton are a good supplier too.
Where do you buy from?
@jetreadyuk r&d , Pureseal delivery charges are a bit much for the hypo, I still get my biocide from them though.
What surfactant do you use? Everyone I try just doesn't foam up enough I may have to go back to fairy 🤣
Hope your okay with the fall and as you said luckily it wasn't a serious one. I'm sorry to see the chemical marked the frame it's always a concern when using chemicals I used a surfactant that I noticed was staining frames so I changed to another and all was good it didn't stain so I now use what's left of the other one for ground pressure washing. Great video as usual Paul
Hi Neil, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of the chemical damage and the cause of it is unknown currently. Yep, I was lucky with the fall. Thanks for watching.
@@jetreadyuk I was gutted to see the marking we all like to do a brilliant job with no hassle
Beautiful job that bud , unfortunately we all make mishaps that's what's makes us human, have tried owtrol on the cladding to remove the marks
Thanks for the Owltrol tip. Unfortunately it's down to the metal in places. Thanks for watching.
@jetreadyuk no problem. If it was a colour pigment issue then the owtrol probably would work ...keep up the great work and the videos
@@crystalcleanexternal5698 Interesting. Thank you.
Amazing results as ever Paul. The whole place looks like it's new. Have you by chance ever cleaned a modern slate patio with resin pointing?. I've been asked to quote but have no experience of that type of surface. I use a Honda gsx390 machine and concerned about damaging it and what chemicals to use?. I can't seem to find any definitive answers online. Many thanks. Mark
I haven't yet cleaned a slate patio, its not a common material in my area. I recommend joining one the Facebook pressure washing groups. The Pureseal group would be a great one to start with, and you definitely find the answer to your question.
@@jetreadyuk Thanks for the reply Paul. I've decided to give it a miss as I think the risk of damage is too high. Look forward to your next video. Mark
Great job and fair play for highlighting the mishap with the rust remover, it's always a school day eh, did u use hot water on the upholstery? 👍👍
No hot water. Just a light wash, followed with BacClear Pro
Great Job done Paul. Could you have had less damage to that cladding if you had used a softer bristled brush or sponge applicator?
I haven't tried sponge. but it was a soft bristle brush. As can be seen in the video I wasn't splashing chemicals around. I'm thinking it may have been caused by the stage one rinse off. Difficult to be sure though.
With the smelly gel pro your using a bucket i never new that product could be diluted ive seen many on here putting it on neat.
Class work though Paul including yout video production and editing! Keep it up
I was using it neat Luke. Just using a bucket and long handle brush as the staining was above head height.
Hi Paul great vodeo! Whats your set up for applying the chemical via the pressure washer? If im right in saying that? Thanks
It's a chemical injection system by Q Services in Ingleton. Not cheap but very good. An injector draws chemical from a drum on the van and mixes it with water sent down the pressure hose. A dial allows control over the dilution anywhere from about 40% and all the way down to fractions of 1%. It's a great system but takes a bit of getting used to, as the dilution percentage is affected by the viscosity of the chemical being used. It's important that hoses and gun have stainless steel fittings for chemical resistance.
Hi mate, i like the video. Could you tell me which foamer you are using there please?
It's a Suttner foamer. Not sure which model.
Great video, I’m new to this line of working starting this week, am I right thinking the biocide needs to be applied when wet or can it go down after washing?
I use biocide as a post treatment after washing.
@@jetreadyuk thank you for getting back, keep up the good work 👍🏼
Looks like your hard work paid off. Well done. Shame about the cladding
Yes it was
Hi Paul could you help me I’m starting a pressure washing comp . What is the best psi and lpm to have and do you recommend anyone much thanks steve
200 Bar and 21 LPM is the machine I use. Many would agree this is the ideal machine for a startup. I buy all my equipment from Q Services is Ingleton. Good luck.
Don't mean to be that guy, but I know damage was indirectly done to the cladding. But, a loose stone could have put more damage upon you. If it was me, the 2 things should cancel each other out. Obviously would still ensure the repairs would be done but the money aspect should be cancelled out.
That's fair to say, but apart from a sore ear I didn't get hurt. I've worked for this customer before, and he's now asked me to do three visits a year at a very good day rate. When I reflect on the potential lifetime value of this customer, it is not worth doing anything which would spoil the business relationship.
That's amazing. Just shows the quality and honesty of your work.
Think Paul got excited about his new text overlay - bit too distracting for me Paul as I'm still able to understand your spoken English, despite my age 🤣
That was a big job, well done. Hope you didn't injure yourself on that loose flagstone (I'm guessing you told the homeowner as I'm pretty sure they'll get it fixed judging by the rest of the house)
Nothing to do with subtitles or translation. All about hooking the viewer and keeping their attention for that golden first minute.
No lasting injuries thankfully.
Gutted for you. I know these things happen, but to wipe out all your profit for 3 days work, that's harsh.
Lovely job otherwise.
Yep, sh*t happens, but the customer has already asked about an annual maintenance plan so it doesn't slip. We're talking about a full day every four months.
