Great transformation. I imagine your work is very satisfying and rewarding and that you get a lot of 'wow' responses from your customers. You seem like a really genuine guy. I enjoy your work and because you're an uncanny doppelgänger to my big brother, I've subscribed to your channel.
Hi Ashley what brand of weed killer do you use would it be possible for a vid on all the different types of chemicals you use with brand names and what they are used for many thanks
I’m thinking of starting a pressure washing business, how do your quotes work, do you measure the driveway and charge per square meter or charge per hour? Your videos have been useful so far, thank you.
Hi Ashley, Thanks for another great video!!! Please could you give some advice what you do with all the sand, mud and weed what you wash to not block customer drainage?
Hi mate, I usually turbo the weeds but it does produce a lot of sand and muck. But the question is that I weed kill after the clean. So do you think that it’s better the 7 days before with the weed killer? I tend to travel a bit as in a rural area and fuel costs are high just now. Great shout about the boards, seen some the other day attached to a pallet so would not get blown over or nicked I suppose. Great work as always Ash. 👍
The weed killer is absorbed through the leaves into the roots, so yes, it needs to be applied a week before. You could explain this to the customer. Maybe give them the option to do it themselves or offer to do it for them for a small extra charge.👍🏼
Hi Ashley great job the passion that you putting on each job are tremendous ...!!!! well done what sore camera are you using The Pro one it's very clear picture any suggestions .....!!!!
Hi Ashley I am keep watching your channel as i am about to start similar job as your business I am really pleased with that lots of help that you are giving me through your channel Let me ask you when or how do you do the resanding if the weather is keep wet! Thanks in advance Laz
Hi Ash. Can you please let me know what type of weedkiller you applied? You said you applied about a week before washing? I have just purchased an electric weedkiller burner. Not sure what will give the best results
@@aemackintosh thank you so much Next week i have a job cleaning exterior porcelain tiles what do you recommend for cleaning and what sealer is suitable for it?
Hi mate . Could i ask a question. in the winter months, do you still continue to pressure wash, and if so, how do you eventually replace the sand if it is consistantly wet? cheers
Yeah, lean it up against anything you can, but make sure it’s secure, you don’t want it falling over and breaking your camera. It doesn’t have to be as high as you might think.😃👍🏼
just started my window cleaning business and want to branch out into cleaning patios and driveways, what would you recommend for the power washer and whirly attachment? cheers Ian
Matt moriarty I think this was about one and a half bags. It all depends on the job and how you rinse. The more you use the turbo lance, the more sand you will disturb, and the more you rinse away, the more you will have to replace.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I remember reading on one of your video replys that you now use a surfactant mixed in with the Hypo. Am I right in thinking this Ash? If so how much do you use? Thanks
Hi Ash really enjoy your videos, I've bought a fsc but not used it yet. Will it clean block paving with moss as good as a turbo lance? Would you clean block paving on max pressure? Tia
Justin Brown The idea is to cover as much as you can with the fsc. The jets are angled slightly so that only the top layer of sand is removed from between the blocks. If the weeds are bad, it doesn’t always get them out, that’s where a bit of extre attention with the turbo lance comes in, but I try and keep this to a minimum.😃👍🏼
i wouldn't bother if your budget is small i would save up more. the bigger the machine the faster you can work, if you get a small machine it will take you forever to do a job and because of the time involved you wont be making much money. Honda or Briggs and Stratton are good engines. Interpump or AR are the best pumps and a gearbox is a must.pressure and litres per min is king but must have the symbol @ in there. for example mine is 200 bar @ 30 litres per min watch the videos on here from Q washers Damian really knows his stuff. i like you was going to start off small after watching all his videos i decided to wait now i have a big machine and aim glad i waited
Yeah, it’s worth getting a decent machine from a reputable supplier. It will do a decent job, last you longer, and you will have someone to help with parts and maintenance. I put a link in the description to the video about the machine I use.😃👍🏼
@@rickkozarits8930 hi Rick yes i want to go on to the stainless quick connect there on my shopping list and Damion from Q washers is ace always willing to talk to you
Hi, I’ve tried a few brands of hypo and it never seems to work and remove the black lichen, is there a brand u can recommended that actually works? Cheers
The Butler 7913 ??? Yeah, I don’t mind doing a good deal for friends, especially when I get a video out of it.😜 And I picked up more jobs from it too, so it worked out pretty good.😃👍🏼
sorry aim jumping in when you asked Ashley the question but its linked to the last one. it depends on what you want to earn per hour or per square meter.lets say for augments sake you want to earn 100 pounds per hour pressure washing.you price up a job with your smaller machine which you think will take you 3 hours.i go with my bigger machine and price the same job at the same hourly rate i think it will take me 1 and 1/2 hours.so really you would have to work at 50 per hour and i could work for 100 per hour, and if its block paving quotes should always include re-sanding because its part of the job its not a add-on it has to be done for the stability of the drive way.
Sure, you take your experience from each job with you to the next one. I did a video on how to quote a while ago and I’ve put the link in the description.😃👍🏼

I've recently started some social media being encouraged by you Ashley. Top job, I'm looking to get some pressure washing next year.
J&G Window Cleaning Great! I’m glad you find my channel useful. I hope your plans go well.😃👍🏼
Nice video Ashley! That drive way looked great once it had been done!
Thanks! The light coloured blocks came up a treat!😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley what brand of weed killer do you use would it be possible for a vid on all the different types of chemicals you use with brand names and what they are used for many thanks
Yes, I will get round to that, good idea. I use Round Up Pro weed killer.😃👍🏼
I’m thinking of starting a pressure washing business, how do your quotes work, do you measure the driveway and charge per square meter or charge per hour? Your videos have been useful so far, thank you.
Yes. Check out the pressure washing playlist on my channel.👍🏼
Another excellent job Ashley. You will need to start taking on some help soon.
Great video.
Kevin Daly Thanks! Yes it can be tricky to keep on top of things sometimes.😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for another great video!!!
Please could you give some advice what you do with all the sand, mud and weed what you wash to not block customer drainage?
I usually scoop it up in a bucket and dispose under a bush or in a garden waste bin.😃👍🏼

@@aemackintosh Thank for taking the time to reply Ash. Will try and change the way I do things.
Ashley would you use weed killer to clear the moss in the joints.
Not really.
Hi Ashley great job the passion that you putting on each job are tremendous ...!!!! well done what sore camera are you using The Pro one it's very clear picture any suggestions .....!!!!
Thanks for your comments. I’m using a GoPro hero8 black at the moment.😃👍🏼
Those sign boards are eye catching Ashley. They would defo have me looking twice.....
It’s a must really for any growing business, your work is on display to the whole neighbourhood.😃👍🏼
What weed killer do you use mate ? Great results well done
Round up pro.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thanks bud
Fantastic video Ash .
DA Components Thanks!😃👍🏼
Hi Ashley
I am keep watching your channel as i am about to start similar job as your business
I am really pleased with that lots of help that you are giving me through your channel
Let me ask you when or how do you do the resanding if the weather is keep wet!
Thanks in advance
Laz
Thanks for your comments. You have to wait for a dry day to re-sand. There is no way around it, the drive has to be bone dry.😃👍🏼
Could I also ask if you used any softwash solution on this one
If you mean hypo, then yes, I applied a little as a post treatment.😃👍🏼
Thanks ashley
Hi Ashley. About how many man hours did it take for you to complete the driveway? Many thanks. Nathan
I was there for a morning cleaning it and I had to pop back for about an hour on a different day to re sand it.😃👍🏼
Great video Ashley ! What weed killer did you use on this particular job and what do you recommend? Thanks in Advance
Thanks. The weed killer I use is round up pro.😃👍🏼
Hi Ash. Can you please let me know what type of weedkiller you applied? You said you applied about a week before washing? I have just purchased an electric weedkiller burner. Not sure what will give the best results
Yes, I use Round Up weed killer. It’s needs a little time to be absorbed into the roots of the weeds.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Thanks for your prompt replies as always, Ash. All the best Clive
Hello mate can u tell me what chemicals are you use for driveway cleaning and patios?
Thank u so much
Marian Draghici Sodium Hypochlorite mainly.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thank you so much
Next week i have a job cleaning exterior porcelain tiles what do you recommend for cleaning and what sealer is suitable for it?
Hi mate . Could i ask a question. in the winter months, do you still continue to pressure wash, and if so, how do you eventually replace the sand if it is consistantly wet? cheers
Pressure washing slows down in the winter. Yes you need a proper dry day to replace the sand.👍🏼
Hi Ashley, how do you get the high up camera shot of the patio while you clean it? Cheers
I usually put my camera on a window cleaning pole.😆👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services yeah was thinking that, and do you just lean it up against the van? Cheers
Yeah, lean it up against anything you can, but make sure it’s secure, you don’t want it falling over and breaking your camera. It doesn’t have to be as high as you might think.😃👍🏼
A.E.Mackintosh Cleaning Services great thanks a million 👍🏻👍🏻
just started my window cleaning business and want to branch out into cleaning patios and driveways, what would you recommend for the power washer and whirly attachment? cheers Ian
There is a video about the exact equipment I use in the Pressure Washing playlist on my channel.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh awesome thanks I'll check it out
good video, was it only 1 * 20kg bag of sand that you had to use? do you have an estimate of how many m2 a bag covers?
Matt moriarty I think this was about one and a half bags. It all depends on the job and how you rinse. The more you use the turbo lance, the more sand you will disturb, and the more you rinse away, the more you will have to replace.😃👍🏼
Hi when you go back to resand do you charge the client before or when you've come back to resand many thanks.
My price includes re-sanding and I invoice the customer once the sand is done.😃👍🏼
Wheres the best place to get site boards made up?
Probably best to find a local printer.👍🏼
Great job on this one. Do you add a surfactant to your hypo when you use it? And if so what do you use
No, I usually just use it as it is. I dilute it to a ratio of about 1:4 in a watering can.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh I remember reading on one of your video replys that you now use a surfactant mixed in with the Hypo. Am I right in thinking this Ash? If so how much do you use? Thanks
Yes, I just add 500ml of surfactant to a 25litre barrel of hypo.😃👍🏼
Can some explain they hypo
Hi Ash really enjoy your videos, I've bought a fsc but not used it yet. Will it clean block paving with moss as good as a turbo lance?

Steve Simpson ive just bought some stainless steel quick connect from Qwashers , absolutely top quality products
Awesome!😃👍🏼

Hi, I’ve tried a few brands of hypo and it never seems to work and remove the black lichen, is there a brand u can recommended that actually works? Cheers
I use bonnymans.co.uk it might be that you need to repeat the application or in some cases even use it neat?😃👍🏼
Ya I think I might try some neat thanks for yr reply, great vids!!
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Great job👍
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Do you have a tank in your van for the water or do you use customers tap for that ?
Chris Thompson The customers tap.😃👍🏼
Top Job 👍
Thanks!😃👍🏼
Do you ever use heat to clean a driveway??
I haven’t as that is a whole different set of equipment that I don’t have.
Mates rates was it LOL 😂
The Butler 7913 ??? Yeah, I don’t mind doing a good deal for friends, especially when I get a video out of it.😜 And I picked up more jobs from it too, so it worked out pretty good.😃👍🏼
And how do you 'price' for these kind of jobs?

Mates rates , bummer 🤐
Yeah, I did it at mates rates, but I picked up some nice work off the back of it, so that was good.😃👍🏼
Great work as all ways.
