Loads of them building surveys are not worth the paper they are written on. I'm Carpenter & Joiner & had a woman say her survey needed some structural work done in the roof, when I got up in the roof she had a traditional cut roof with no issues, but her report said she had a truss roof & listed faults that didn't exist. The surveyor had clearly just copy & pasted the report from another house down the road not realising they were different as he had obviously not even looked up in the roof. Had another one wanting straps put on rafter into the cavity & house didn't even have cavity walls it just had a 4 inch skin for the gable ends. So I concur loads of these Surveyors don't know what they talking about.
What gives them the right tho? Jack of all trades expert in none but got to keep them self's in a job so sounds like they know more than someone that's not from a building background.
The other issue is these surveyors charge £thousands for these reports but seem to have zero accountability when the information in their report is incorrect.
That came up great, it would be nigh on impossible to effectively strip sutch a textured brick with chemicals to anything like the same standard. Not the first time I have seen dubious advice from a surveyor, trouble is people are often reluctant to get a second opinion.
@@Mobileblaster Had a "certified" home inspector go over my new house before I bought it. He gave it a clean bill of health and only dinged a couple of missing outlet covers. After moving in, I did my own survey and found all sorts of defects and outright safety hazards. Hot and cold water supply reversed in the tub, an orange extension cord hard wired into the breaker panel for the lights on the front and the 110 power to the hot tub was just an unmounted outlet, wrapped in black tape and hanging loose in a box were just three of the things he missed. I sent him MY survey (20 pages) and asked him to explain how he missed all these things. After telling me how long he had been doing this, and that I had no idea on how to do inspections, I told him that I had been a state crane inspector for 20 years and that he was an idiot. The lawyer got my money back.
Annoys me that some people who sit in fart filled rooms and have never experienced the job can make decisions on how a job should be done. Stuff em. 👌👍
😂 I started this channel to prove blasting isn't as bad as the hear say of folk that only have been told about blasting to make the sound knowledgeable 👌👍
Hi Mick , When I Got My New Second Hand Blaster a Couple Of Weeks ago It Came With A Shit Hood /Helmet I’m Looking at So Many I can’t Make Up My Mind What One Do you Find Works the Best For You. Fair Play To You This Is a Very Interesting Channel and You Work Hard for Your Dow. 👍
@darrenfarrell-bn2cb hands down the best lid I've used nova 3 I've had alot of years in the red lid also used some cheap lids turns out nova 3 is the one for me I cannot even think of anything they could do to improve it maybe put some Bluetooth speakers in the ear defense that would be nice but other than that 👌
I’m certified to restore historical buildings. The inspector was concerned about that mortar between the bricks. The sandblaster takes off the smooth layer and makes it porous. In this case, it needs to be repointed after sandblasting to restore the smooth water resistant surface. You did nothing wrong, the mortar would need to be fixed no matter how the paint was removed.
As a certified person you should know that ruff cement repells water just as much as smooth cement. If it was a problem why do they build new houses with chariot pointing? Or why dose some concrete have so many finishes brush polish tamp patern etc they all have the same properties at repelling water. Etching the cement won't course a problem 👍
@boden8138 yeah lime is far better in terms of keeping the older style bricks intact I think originally it should have been lime but it's been re done at some point with cement also the bottom had been rendered for some reason ultimately making it have issues.
Brilliant video, bravo! I would like to know what kind of setup gear and aggregate that is. There is a lot of demand for this kind of work, and I would like setup guidance to start a local business. Your work is inspiring.
@albertsenchenkov7894 please keep in mind these videos make it look alot easier than it is. It's not as simple as buying the equipment if you have no training or any sort of experience you will course alot of damage and possibly hurt yourself or others in the process. I would strongly advise trying to get a job doing it 1st and see if you like it. Last thing you want to do is invest alot of cash and not like it 👍
A "friend" wrecked my previous car's rear bumper with a pressure washer. yet we still use them all over the world to wash cars :p Blame the idiot, not the tool.
Exactly 👌 just a shame it doesn't work that way with sandblasting people don't understand it fully so they Google it and hear all the negative things about bad jobs/bad operators then the industry gets the flack
I used to sandblast timber chairs it would open the grain but the restorer was happy normally 300 at a time for hotels , coral to remove worm holes to increase the value , it always depends on the material if it can be done
@bigears4014 I can only imagine that the technology / media's have improved since then but I still wouldn't want to take on 300 chairs must have been hard graft I really don't like stuff like patio sets gates furniture takes alot of concentration 😂
You know what you’re talking about and I’ve done sandblasting and as you say that if you’re careful and follow a good plan then you’ll have great results with your work. Nice job 👍
Sand blasting this sort of problem , does bring its own problems like dust nuiancance, how ever this way its much more controlled and a whole different process that the inspector may not be aware of. For instance sand blasting oil / lead based paint is prohibited probably around the world, good job
I think it's the hear say that people believe, the inspector must have heard a horror story from a bad operator and like always the full industry takes the blame. These videos do make it look alot easier than it is. It takes time to gain the skills needed to perform at this level I like to showcase my work just to prove that blasting as an industry is an option for this type of work 👌
Excellent work. I’d be more worried about the slab of concrete bridging that DPC and the height of that tarmac. Looks like they’ve had some numpty paint those few courses to deal with rain bounce from the hard surface. Siloxane based coating after the brick clean should keep them dry and protected
Me personally I would repoint the joints with lime motor and re inject the dpc should be good for years to come. A 4" gap around the building with pea gravel for good measure to help with any standing water would be a decent idea when I was jetwashing the water was running away from the house so possibly not needed
@@Mobileblasteryes I did notice it was originally lime and seems to have been pointed in cement. No wonder the bricks are blowing at the bottom. I always prefer a gap. Hate seeing hard surface right up to brickwork. It’s nice to see someone who knows what they’re doing overall and not just blast cleaning only I hope the owner listens to your advice
Was there any concern with that 3-flap gravity vent [assumed terminated to a “traditional” vented tumble dryer in the kitchen/utility room] you blasted under it, with water/sand getting into it and the duct?
@samuelfellows6923 a little water could have blown into it but the media stream should have stayed away I reckon I would have sent more water in with the jatwasher after than with the blaster 😬😂
That’s the problem you sed it yourself in the right hands and with the right knowledge of materials and what substrate you are removing the dirt paint moss lime wash wet blasting is a good option but have seen some bad workmanship over blasting standing to close as the paint is 5/6 cotes and more ripping into the face of the brick /stone can look a mess👍
Sand blasting is a very risky process and can destroy the surface of the bricks with resultant damage to the construction. I would not recommend sand blasting on brickwork and therefore I would support the surveyors opinion. Rather than the surveyor going back to school, I would suggest that Mick Brackley takes a course on construction materials and building construction.
Maybe look into blasting more its all down to the operator if I can take the paint off a coke can and then polish to a mirror finish "expensive way of doing it like" that sort of skill level can blast a 4" concrete brick 👍 or many more construction materials 👌👍
@@Mobileblaster I don't doubt there are some skillful blasters out there and that there are alternative materials that are more appropriate and less potentially less damaging than high pressure spray and sand. The issue is that in my experience the sand blasting industry is full of operatives that don't know/care about the materials and construction they are cleaning. You are unlikely to find any historic building being cleaned with high-pressure water/sand and those buildings are being monitored by seasoned building professionals. You derided the fact that one contractor used a pressure wash and caused damage but you were content to pressure wash with the addition of abrasive sand. Most buildings in UK are simply not designed to withstand any pressure washing and doing so carries a big risk of damage that may not be apparent for months or even years, long after the culprit has left.
@clivewilliams3661 I blasted my house 5 years back and I've solved damp issues it's over 140 years old. I do every job as if I was doing my own. 45psi vs a pressure washer 2500/3500psi that's DIY tackle it is a lot less damaging than the rap it gets. Sandblasting as an industry gets a bad rap for the bad operators's many guys out there are skilled enough to know low psi and soft media at the right pitch and distance mixed with the right amount of water and media flow makes for perfect removal chemicals and pressure washer would course alot more damage in my experience. I've done work on grade 2 listed buildings with inspectors keeping a close eye on my work and I can 100% guarantee blasting is nothing near as bad as you think in the right hands 👍
Great job! So much better, Mick! Again, another cover-up with rendering which causes even more problems. Why why why do people do this ? 😮 even the bad bricks look better than the dodgy rendering 😊 but, said before, keeps you busy & in a job 😅
I really like these jobs because he was at the end of his tether trying all the other methods good job he phoned me I reassured him that the inspector wouldn't even be able to tell I've been he's talking sh!t blasting isn't as bad as he was telling the owner and the buyer. This is what I'm up against trying to prove to people not all operators are bad just the in experienced give the whole industry a bad name. I was subscribed to a youtuber he made a video saying sandblasting has recked his truck well I sent him a message saying don't say its because of blasting tell the viewers it's a bad operator that's recked your truck he then replied saying it's because of blasting the operator has been blasting 20+ year well I said he needs to watch some of my videos proving time and time again it can be done without issues I've not had a response since. I've gone off him since 😒
The water is only added for dust suppression it doesn't do anything more wet or dry its still sandblasting. Clean up is a real pain takes longer than the blasting its self 🫣😂
A so called expert was offering advice (building surveyor) and his advice to the new buyer of the property was it shouldn't be sandblasted so this video is to ask why it shouldn't be done when clearly a sandblaster in the right hands is a viable option. How can a so called expert say such things?
That is all fine and well with the demonstration. Go back in two years and examine your work. Those bricks will be heavily spalled, and they are not even real bricks. With actual baked clay bricks, the hardened outer portion of the baked clay is removed, and the brick spalls. But that is true to some extent with chemical/power washing as well. And yes, bad operators make the problem worse. The point is: Brick should never be painted, ever Chemical stripping and power washing is more gentle than blasting, but is much more work Dustless blasting works well and doesn't poison the air and the operators with crystalline silica, so is preferable to sand blasting
No need to go back in 2 year I've blasted my own home 5 year ago red clay brick and its still fine 👍 sandblasting get a bad rep because people don't understand it can be used properly. Meaning I can polish etch or sand with my rig very similar to a car body shop they understand the grades of paper needed for each job I 5000 wet and won't rip lays of paint off or shape filler but 40 grit will. Well a blaster should know what grade to use and not only that I have the ability to push on or leave off angles etc I have alot of knowledge and from my experience your theory seams like your reading too much google and not believing in a professional that's doing this trade day in day out 👍
Yeah ideally it wants a 4/6" channel cut out and a French drain putting round the house covered with a permeable covering normally a decorative gravel 👍
@@Mobileblaster yes - a couple of curses. 1 to the painter, 1 to the person who ran the path level too high. BUT you need stupid to generate business 👍. Just imagine how properties will degenerate that have been built to today's poor standards
It boils my piss tho to think a so called expert can offer advice like that when clearly they haven't a clue. I can take the paint off a coke can and then polish it to a mirror finish with a sandblaster why do they think I will reck 4" concrete brick? 🤔 English heritage is to blame for listening to the sales pitch of a well-known blast manufacturing company look on their website about SandBlasting I will happily prove them wrong and the company they have taken a back hander from (the company makes a unique over priced peace of crap that's not worth a toss but backed by English heritage) I can do the exact same plus more from a £100 modified gas bottle let alone anything with any sort of toys added to it 😏
God save us from "inspectors"! Here they are mostly retired public servants (police, firemen, etc) who don't even know what they're looking at but it's a good "easy" post retirement income for them. Couple of hundred $ for the first inspection, a hundred or so for every subsequent return (most houses have five or so inspecton areas so five "specialized" inspectors and nothing is ever passed on the first time so you can start the multipling...) they get a cut and the city takes theirs and the only one getting screwed is the homeowner so who cares, right? My BIL had to explain to one city inspector why the changes the inspector wanted my BIL to make would actually end up killing the homeowner. If you have to have licensed contractors why doesn't government have to have licensed inspectors? SMH
It works a little different hear in the UK if someone is buying a house and getting mortgages the bank request they have a independent inspection report as seen these guys aren't experts they mainly advise what can go wrong it's right saying it could course damp etc but very much wrong in the methods they pick 😉
Or even say I'm no expert but I've googled and seen alot of negative things said about SandBlasting as nearly every site will say the same thing hence only way of me trying to prove these people wrong is showcase how it should be done. Don't get me wrong in the wrong hands a blaster is a pure beast and it can course alot of damage very quick I try and make my point that these videos arnt a how too as alot more is happening than the videos show I will admit it they do make it look easy but if I was to watch someone who has alot of talent plastering that looks easy but we know it isn't 😂
Those bricks looked rough as f*** WITHOUT and blasting. I reckon that paint would have been the LEAST likely candidate for causing damp, probably more likely to prevent it.
Alot of the houses in this area had the bottom rendered up to dpc and a few had to have it removed due to damp I personally think that it could be an underlying issue with the dpc membrane solve that remove any paint or rendering or any other crap the house wasn't designed to have re point it and it should be as good as new 😊
Loads of them building surveys are not worth the paper they are written on.

Don't get me wrong in the wrong hands a blaster is a pure beast and it can course alot of damage very quick I try and make my point that these videos arnt a how too as alot more is happening than the videos show I will admit it they do make it look easy but if I was to watch someone who has alot of talent plastering that looks easy but we know it isn't 😂
👍👍👍👍
😊👌👍
imagine painting brick... 🤦♂
@@a-gnosis 🙈
Those bricks looked rough as f*** WITHOUT and blasting. I reckon that paint would have been the LEAST likely candidate for causing damp, probably more likely to prevent it.
Alot of the houses in this area had the bottom rendered up to dpc and a few had to have it removed due to damp I personally think that it could be an underlying issue with the dpc membrane solve that remove any paint or rendering or any other crap the house wasn't designed to have re point it and it should be as good as new 😊
