Evening everyone, so as the thumbnail suggests, this is a double job that I carried out for an awesome customer recently. A 1970's house that the customer had only moved into a year prior. He said when they bought it, it was like going back in time to the 1970's, as clearly not much had been done to it since then.
Like most of my jobs, there's plenty of satisfying grime and slop removal to get get your teeth into, hope you enjoy, cheers, Nick.

I'm so glad that you did the bottom of the wall. Most wouldn't. I admire a man with integrity and a good work ethic. 😊
😊 thank you
Talk as much as you like, Nick. It's all enjoyable. The narcissists out there love to manipulate and control others, pushing their guilt, shame and fear onto anyone that will listen. Ignore them, completely! You've got a job to do, and we're here to support your efforts. Crack on!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate your support 🤝👍😍
If I were the homeowners I would be extremely happy. Roof and drive looking great! Well done Nick!! Happy Spring. 😊
So kind, thanks Stacey ❤️
Wow, I never would have guessed the color of that roof. You even managed to get the flashing around the dormer window looking like new. And don't get me started on the wonderful job you did with that driveway. It was a fantastic makeover for this 50 year old home. Well done, again, Nick. Thanks for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Denise, always love your comments, your continued loyalty means a lot ❤️
Would gladly take your weather, we still have 3 feet of snow and expected to start warming up later this week and start melting. Regardless of the obstacles you face you always end up with a stellar job!
Thanks so much, hope it warms up for you soon ❤️
3 foot of snow? Heaven! Where are you?
Nick I love it when you talk us through a job please keep talking
Aw thanks Maren, that means a lot ❤️
Great attention to detail as always! Personally I enjoy when you talk to us.
Cool, thanks for the feedback Jennifer ❤️
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning you're very welcome

Thanks grammy bear, thanks for your continued loyalty, it means a lot ❤️
If they were laid in the 70's, then they look good for 50 years old, but mighty good after all your hard work.
Huge thanks 😍
I love that you put the roof cleaning and the driveway cleaning in the same video. Has this lovely effect of feeling some closure about the project XD
Many thanks ☺️
Original roof tiles. Block paves probably 1990s. Back in the 70s there would have been two strips of concrete for a car in to the garage, no garden design or thought back then, and house price £3 0r 4,000 !! . Love the work Nick, keep going !
Thanks Paul, much appreciated mate 👍
Talking is just fine, being from the US I love your accent ! A great cleaning was done ✅ 😅
😊 thank you Geraldine, that's very kind of you 💕
Lovely house and I actually liked the speckled effect on the old paving stones😊
I love hearing you talk about the job you’re working on. My favorite part is always the sanding!
Awesome, thanks Colleen 💕
Nice the new owner is working on the backlog. They are going to have some "pride of place" with the work you are doing for them. Good you know the drains/drainage are working well. I am admiring the progress on cheerful plant beds and a lawn. The driveway, started at "mud brown". As you work, it is looking so different and good looking. (You did a nice hypo spray.) That was a fun Renewal.
I always wonder if those drains in the pavers need cleaning out too! And if homeowners think of those and the drainpipes for reg maintenance.
I love the fact that you talk to us about every aspect of what you are doing. Spectacular job as always Nick! Loved this video of course, ever so good to see you! Once again love your being mindful of the hypo. All the best always to you and yours, be well Nick! Super big hugs from Texas to you 😊
I appreciate that Sandi, it always nice to get positive feedback from my viewers, especially my loyal regulars like yourself. You're a top lady, thanks so much ❤️
I love how, if I'm watching one of your videos and I think "Why didn't he clean that?" or "He forgot to move that" the answer appears on the screen! This week it was the roof of the dorma window. Awesome pressure washing AND mind reading, not bad. Keep up the good work (and the chatting) xx
Aw thanks so much, that really means a lot to me 😍
Nick your channel, do what you want, if they don't like it then they can leave. Always love your jobs, brilliant as per usual.
Thank you Jill, that's super kind of you 💕
Nick, love your intros please don’t stop talking, people can fast-forward through it if they don’t like it!!! I enjoy it so much more when you talk during the introductions, and about the job rather than making me read statements!!!
Thank you mate, I really appreciate feedback like this, i'll keep on talking ✊🤝
Great job mate looks like a very busy road behind you roof and patio together your spoiling us😂😅😊😂😅😊
🤣👍
The wear in the blocks is not so bad, the colours of the agrigate come out, some will consider it pretty.
Awesome job Nick. Was nice to see both the roof and driveway done in one! Have a great week mate. Thanks for the upload :)
Thanks Al, top man, all the best mate 🙂
Keep talking Nick mate love the southern tones class work once again 👍
Lol, thanks Col, will do mate! 😍
Another awesome transformation Nick, always look forward to your Vids, 😎👊
Thanks Mark, much appreciated mate 👍
Just keep talking - good to hear! Great job. The walls and drive were pretty grubby so it’s a huge difference. Seems strange to do half a roof but I guess fewer people see the back! Perhaps that’s next year’s job! Good to hear you’re very busy - though with all the ghastly weather you’ve probably got a backlog now!
Thanks Mishka, i've had a lot more people, including yourself saying to keep talking, so i'm going to ignore the haters, and carry on. I really appreciate your kind words ❤️.
Yeah, don't get me started on the weather and the backlogs it';s causing, very frustrating. Thanks again, Nick 🥰
Beautiful job today ! ❤ It’s great hearing you and I loved the music too. You will always have those that feel the need to critique or criticize, screw them you’re great 😁 ❤
Aw thanks Randi, you're not so bad yourself 😊❤️
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning you’re so kind 😘
I don't know why your channel came up on my recommended list, but I want you to know it is a joy to watch your job. I live in Southern California, USA and never knew a career like yours existed. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ God bless you and your family ❤
You? Talk too much ? Never... l like a running commentary. You advise your audience of exactly what you do and why. Kudos to you. Joh, Bunbury Western Australia.
Thank you so much Joh, your super kind feedback is very much appreciated ❤️
Amazing difference in color of roof and driveway. Great cleaning.
Thanks so much Joe & Judy 😍
Regarding the amount of talking: I'm very happy that you are not shy anymore, but I think it's understandable if some people don't like you talking for several minutes straight 😅 But keeping the golden mean isn't easy, I myself talk too much as well.
I noticed the little flat roof and wanted to comment it as soon as I finished watching but then you explained it later 😂
Regarding the hypo and the grass seeds, you did push the rinsing water nicely in the right direction but your X-Jet hose was coated in hypo and went over the seed patch. I hope that doesn't hurt.
Very well done, you also deserve the luck with the sanding!
Thanks for the valuable feedback on that Tatjana , it's much appreciated. I'm not surprised you picked up on the hose with hypo on it on the grass, you're very observant. Fear not, I did notice, and gave the that area a thorough rinse down, so no harm done. I should really included that in the video 🤦🏻♂️.
Wonderful job Sir Nick. FYI I love your voice. It was one of the reasons I always come back. You are such a joy to watch. Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.
Wow, thank you! You've just made me blush ☺️
I like the talking, especially when it’s an explanation of what someone is doing and why. That kind of information is very helpful when it comes to understanding how to do the job whether it’s DIY or hiring someone. It helps to figure out the scope of the job and the right questions to ask the person when you are hiring.
Thanks so much for this comment, it really means a lot ❤️
Hi Nick 👋☺️
Hope you and your family have had a great weekend.
I like you talking and am pleased you did much more personal for me. Your damned if you do damned if you don't tho 😂
Excellent job on the roof and the driveway both looked 100 times better once you had finished.
Look forward to next week and I hope it is a good one for you 😊
Ooh forgot to say I finally got some good news this week after a 3 year wait I will be getting an nhs wheelchair that is tailored to my actual needs 🎉 I bought one second hand 5 years ago (only one I could afford) thinking I wouldn't need it for long and not really knowing how things would be for me and it is falling to pieces and totally inappropriate for me. I did price up buying it myself to see if I could save up but it would have been between 8-10k I nearly had a heart attack on the spot when they said that 😂😂😂😂
Lets just say that is wayyyyy out of any budget I could come up with (well maybe after 20-25 years of saving 😂😂😂).
Love and hugs to you and your family xx 🤗🤗
Nice thing you have the weather with you.. 😊 Nice work.
Just keep being you! I always enjoy your videos and love the work you do. 😀
Thank you so much Alina, that really means a lot ❤️
Looks good! So different from the start. I kind of like the weathered stone driveway. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Toni, you too!
Another great job Nick, shame the pavers were too old to let their colours pop but what a transformation 👏 looking forward to the next one
Cheers mate, much appreciated 🤝
Excellent work Nick, block paving cleaned up great, and re-sanded same day….result 👍👍
Great video! Beautiful brick work! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you too Pat ❤️
beautiful. you didn't do the back? what a difference in the drive way. even though its old still looks beautiful. 🏠😉
Nope, just the front, customer said the back didn't need doing 👍, many thanks ☺️
A lot of hard work. Looks good.
Well done, it looks really good!! The roof came out super nice, great color. Also really enjoyed the music, it's much more enjoyable to watch the transformation without hearing the washer. 👍
Awesome, thank you for the valuable feedback
Looks very smart. Well done that Man cheers
I don't know why, but the sped-up sound of you shoveling the mud, is insanely satisfying! lol!
That stuff coming off their driveway, is awesome topsoil, super fertile, they can use that on their patch of baby grass, and I bet it would grow more lush. Just a thought :)
Lol, lots of people seem to like that sound. Yeah I agree, it's probably quite good for plant fertility, but it's quite hard to convince the customer of that 😆
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Too true lol, they may look at you funny on that one lol..its ok, blame me, I'm the silly American that planted that seed lol (pun intended!) 🤣
Great job. Just found this channel. You're doing great work!
Hi Leon, many thanks 🙏. Welcome on board 🤝
Awesome job sir 🫡👏
Another lovely job 👌
Thank you! 😊
Great work, well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
top job mate
Cheers Sydney
Such a great job, like day and night!
Thank you so much!
Another great video! 👏
Thank you! Cheers Cleopatra 😍
Your videos gave me confidence to pressure wash my driveway and garage small roof. 5m karcher lance on order and will tackle the big roof next, wish me luck
Good luck 👍
Roof looks great , the video makes it look easy but I can imagine your arms ache like hell after , amazing job of the drive , excellent job as always.im still trying to catch up on all your instalments.
Thanks Adrian, much appreciated mate 👍
Looks amazing!! Great job!!
This one was awesome!
Thanks mate
Quality job there bud 👊🏻
Alright mate, could you do a video n your equipment and setup? why do you fill the wheelie bin and not connect straight to mains?
I can answer that one mate, the pressure washer disperses in excess of 20 gallons per minute and he would not have a powerful enough water supply to keep up so the weelie bin is to maintain pressure whilst it fills from the supply. I think so anyway!😂
What wobla said 👍
Came out great
Thanks Nancy 😍
I just love yalls courtyards with all the paving stones. Your arms HAVE to ache? What ointment do you use?🤣👏👏👏❤️❤️
Thanks Cindz ❤️
Great job
Cheers Debra
Well Nick great job, always good to talk keep doing it i will turn sound off !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 seriously you are the man keep doing what you do bud always a pleasure to watch your video's !!👍
Thanks so much Russ, you're a top bloke, and I really appreciate this comment.
Terrific result as usual. My only suggestion would be to consider that when you’re working near a very noisy road if you could either speak much more loudly or do a voice over. I enjoy hearing and learning from what you have to say but on this video it was pretty much impossible. Obviously, the more I upped the volume to hear you the louder the traffic noise was as well. Just a suggestion.
Thanks mate, it's a fair and reasonable suggestion. I really appreciate the feedback ❤️
Im thinking of doing this Nick what gear would you recommend please.. been watching you for a while now your very methodical great worker mate 👍.. you do a brilliant job everytime .. cheers mate
Excellent thorough job, why did they only want the one side of the roof done?
Thanks mate. Customer said the other side didn't need it 👍
just curious, why don't you use a wider angle nozzle when cleaning a roof(like the kind you would use at a car wash)? I would think that it would cover more surface area and get the job done faster. is there a reason?
captivating videos, you do beautiful work
I wouldnt even appear on camera when I first started youtube. I did voice over. LOL. Now i dont shut up. Talk away man. Its your journey. We are just here for the ride
🤣 You've come on a similar journey to me by the sounds of it. Thanks for the great feedback, it's very much appreciated 👍
I guess people want you to talk as long as you don’t say anything!😜 Carry on with the great work you do!😊
🤣 you might be right there mate, all the best ☺️
Hey Nick, great job diligently done as always! Do you know why they didn’t want the back roof cleaned? Did they just want an aesthetic clean up so the house looks better from the front? Just curious, I was surprised when you only did the front roof then went straight to the driveway… great job as usual. Your attention to detail is impressive…
Hey Shans, many thanks as always 😌. I did ask about the back roof, he just said that there was no moss on it, so didn't want to spend the money. Most of my customers have their roof cleaned for a reason, like moss blocking their gutters constantly, or they don't like the lumps of moss falling from the roof leaving a mess on their floor. It's very rarely for aesthetics. 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Nick, I wanted to also ask you if you ever feel overwhelmed working by yourself? I watch all you guys in the UK, and there’s only a few of you that work completely alone… sometimes it’s nice to have someone sweeping the water and grime away as your passing the surface cleaner.
What a difference. Pity they didn't want the back roof done too, driveway looks great.
Hey Andrew, thanks mate. Customer said it didn't need it, but now because I haven't seen it, i'm super intrigued as to what it looks like 😆
Looks fantastic. I like the talkin. What do you do with the bags of slop?
Thanks Marien ❤️. I bag it up and take it away for disposal, or if i'm lucky the customer lets me spread it neatly under their bushes etc 👍
You're lucky it wasn't just a roof clean! They would have been halfway to a free block clean with all that roof gunk🤣. Did you ever find out what was going on around the back?
Lol, thanks very much. No I never went round there, but now I really want to 🤣
great job. what causes the roofs there to get so black and dirty. Where i live that is not the case.
I suppose it's just our climate here in the UK. Most of what you see on our roofs is organic.
The wind noises in the fast forwards is pretty harsh. Maybe a wind microphone would fix that issue.
Looks amazing mate...can i ask you when you use your pressure washer to do the roof i guess you reduce the pressure quite a bit?...then when you do the block paving you are at full pressure..thanks mate
Hi Dave, cheers mate. Yep, exactly how you said. Turned the pressure down to round 80 bar for the roof, turn the pressure back up again using the unloader, full 200 bar for the paving 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning thanks mate..I learn a little more every day 👍
@@davegill7614 awesome ☺️
Beautiful job, but what about the back of the house?
Thanks Sheila. Customer said it didn't need cleaning 👍
Wasn't that house on one of the Carry On movies? 😅
can you use hypo on a slate patio?
Why do need to fill bin with water? Im in Canada and we just hose to the tap and go
The pressure washer disperses over 20 gallons per minute and therefore would not work connected directly to the mains supply so the draw is taken from the bin whilst being filled from the supply. Hope that helps
Did you do the other side of the roof?
No, customer only wanted this side cleaning
99% of buildings/houses could do with this in Great Britain, sooooooo much dirt everywhere.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does the treatment spray do for the roof?
I think it helps get any remaining stubborn spots that the pressure washer couldn't get. Same with the driveway.
People who don't like to listen to talking do realize that they are allowed to use the mute button, right?🙄😂 Cheers from Michigan, USA
🤣 indeed 👍
It's odd that the house to the right has 3 different types of brick
Would have been fascinating to have sent that grime to a lab for analysis... that would have formed back when they put lead in petrol, high sulphur diesel, wood burning heaters etc. and all sorts of other pollution that might have been trapped in there like some core sample from the Arctic showing the history of the planet...
Drainage is a bit naff there!
Indeed 👍
You no your stuff buddy
Many thanks Christopher 👍
Can I ask why you took the gutter down pipe bits off
Sure, it's to prevent blocking the ground drains with moss
