Get yourself a few wool sweater/jumpers, fingerless gloves and a balaclava for steam cleaning days! All that water will just add to the damp winter chill. And a cheap polar fleece jacket (£10 at Primark!) to leave in the van. Cheap fleece or flannel pajama bottoms, a size too-large can go right over jeans or squashed under waterproof pants to cut the windchill.
Binge-watching your channel at 4am. This is my new favorite channel now, this is more satisfying compared to the other ones that I was subscribed to. New fan from 🇵🇭
Sid, may I make a suggestion? Being a WFP and pressure washer user for nearly two decades now, in the winter months, I have self built insulated boxes that I cover vulnerable parts with, i.e. the hose real, the water pump and the pressure washer itself. Now I understand that the pressure washer is a large item to cover, and you have space constraints on the van, but if you are storing said item in the garage over night, then this shouldn't be an issue. Make a box, (10mm ply would suffice), line it with reflective insulation, (shiny side toward the items that need to be kept frost free), adhere it with spray glue, buy a few decent hot water bottles, put a couple inside the box, maybe even put a hot water tank blanket over the pressure washer with the bottles underneath that over night. If the box seals tightly, then this should prevent your freezing issues. It's worked for me, hope it helps you. All the best.
Man what a difference! And By the looks of it, it seems streaming/pressure washing is not only making the job cleaner, but also faster, and it looks less straining than the scraping! Very nice
Wow that new machine is the game changer Sid. Thought it was funny to 'wake up the moss' only to slay it 😆. May want to check the weather forecast the night before. 👍
Awesome Sid! Keep us posted about the solar panels, I’ve had a tricky one with loads of white lichen recently. Be interested to see what chemical you use.
Hi sid if I could offer you some advice when it comes to cold and hands. Get some seal skin gloves there ace. There warm and waterproof, when I do my windows I can squeeze out the warter ok and gloves stop dry. They do cost a bit but well worth the money.
Great job Sid! The electrical engineer in me has to correct you though, it's not voltage that is the issue but rather current draw, electric motors can be hungry beasts especially during start up.
My wife and I had to have a cup of hot chocolate just from watching this video. We don't know how you keep going with the combination of water and cold. The moss on this one could have grown crops! Great transformation. Looking forward to the next job.
Great job Sid, customer must be well pleased. Get yourself some thermal underwear to keep yourself cosy and wear some gloves too. It was freezing today.
Well done mate, massive Level up 🍄 End result spotless 👍🏼 Invest in some big tarps to cover ground level. Doesn’t reduce the amount crap you got to clear up but can help speed the process up especially if it’s a stoned drive!
Nice one Sid, it’s good to see the clean up process after the steam cleaning, I’m thinking of going that route this year also after seeing the results. Happy new year. Frank
Hi Sid, great work as usual love all your videos, very satisfying to watch! I'd recommend getting yourself some goretex waterproofs, not cheap but they are worth every penny especially in horrible weather they keep you bone dry!
Yummy. 😆 Such a satisfying video. That roof came up beautiful. Good to see you've got work so early in the year. Hope you've got your thermals ready for the cold weather. ❄️🥶
We have mossy rooftops here, it's that bad that it's started growing in the roadway of our quiet cul-de-sac! Was rather odd to see it there, but it's starting to grow everywhere! All over the neighbours front drive too! I didn't know it grows like that. And I thought the ivy was bad! 😱
Great and satisfying clean! I don’t know how you two can work in such cold conditions. Take a couple thermos of hot beverages along on days like this. Brrr 🥶
Wow! What a difference to that roof. Looks amazing! Clearly very chilly though so perhaps some thermal clothing! 😉Shame the other jobs didn’t go quite to plan. Very frustrating.
Have you ever had trouble with pressure washing roofs since you started like water ingress or anything or accused of damage? Thanks sid keep up the great work very inspiring 💪
Hey Sid, I see you taking breaks, and I assume the long length of line plus water is not easy to handle over the day. Have you considered rigging up a fulcrum against the scaffold with counterweight to help holding the water line easier?
Oh my God, I'm so glad that here in Barcelona we have those plain roofs because we don't usually deal with snow, I thought the roof was black but the black was the nastiness D:
Hi Sid, with these roof cleans is it mainly done to keep the house looking tidy and for aesthetics, or is there a reason you don't want buildup on the roof? Only asking as I have several rental properties in Liverpool and have not really considered this before? I really enjoy your videos and your approach to work / values / the community, good to see that attitude in 2022!
Hi Tom, most people usually get it done due to aesthetics and the annoying splodges of moss dropping off onto the drive and patio every day, also it fills guttering up regularly so can cause damp issues if that isn’t sorted. But finally it eats away at the tiles, grows between the gaps and forces them to shift and crack. It usually takes quite a long time for that to happen though but it is inevitable. Large buildups like the one in this video do require a clean pretty sharpish to be honest. If you need a quote for anything just pop me an email over 👍 thanks for watching mate
Moss is extremely dangerous and damaging to a roof, it actually eats into the tiles ... If you have properties and they are covered then as preventive maintenance it's a great idea to get it cleared off and then bio treated to help kill off all the moss. Also helps it stay clear for longer.
Hi Sid Wow great results as usual !! Could I ask do you have a disclaimer when power washing roofs just in case it leaks in and causes staining? Also do you have a different scraper for the ridge tiles as they can be a little awkward. Cheers dude. 👍👍👍
You haven’t used all that diesel I put in your van before Christmas Lol. Get yourself a scruffs body warmer like I was wearing when you come to Shrewsbury, 100% recommend.. Fantastic difference on that roof Sid..
Hahah! it was gone in 2 days with all the weight i drive around with xD will put it on the list now mate, i don't think ive ever actually tried a body warmer on :D
I do carpet cleaning and the thing I hate most is ice cold nights and 1c days, its a machine killer, especially for brass fittings, I try and drag all the stuff that can freeze out of the van and into to garage before a frost, a one off mild frost you can get away with a couple of days in a row around 0c with out getting the equipment inside and thats a different matter.
Dirt and shadows make a huge difference to solar panels. There's an EEVBlog video where he figured out why his solar panel efficiency dropped quite a lot and it was a shadow from an aerial mast, so he moved it. And that's in Australia where there's loads of sun.
Amazing job! Just wondering - is it less wear and tear on your physically to do the steam cleaning on the roofs rather than the scraping and chemicals?
Wow Sid that’s amazing mate!! I’m seriously thinking of getting a vtuff, when you get chance on a warmer day would you add in your vid maybe a little time on set up after your arrival to show me day to day what it’s like having one of these and to give me more of an idea if it’s for me or not. It’s a lot of money so would be a massive help mate. Can’t believe how good that came up mate what a class job you and Kev have done there! 👍🏼
It was a bloody cold day today and my uni-valve failed around noon so that stopped play and cost a few quid to replace. Good luck tomorrow…sleet forecast here.
What are the chances! I am a Brit (from Leicestershire) , currently living in California and I click on this random vid from my recommendations and start watching. Immediately I think "This looks really familiar..." Then see the sign for Byrkley Garden Centre and realise that this is about half an hour down the road from where I used to live!! So weird!!
Your such a nice guy. Lmao in america folks make their own parking spots. And it's mostly elderly carpet baggers that feel they are allowed to park somewhere your not suppose to. And they do it mostly in the south🤣
Dunno if this helps, I contracted out a job last summer where the customer wanted it steamed but I don't offer that, the company I got to do it actually did a quick scrape 1st, they were adamant that the thick layer needs to be scraped before hot wash
Nice to see it's not just me that has bad days 🙂Great result on the roof, looks better than the new one next door. I do like the blue colour on your van, really stands out. With the Vac, I don't know if you do this already but try 1 motor at a time with 20 to 30 seconds between motors. That said the Steam cleaner is about 1.5Kw? and the Vac 3.3Kw and they could have a 15 Amp circuit so only 3.4Kw or a 30Amp with 6.9Kw but with other stuff on same circuit in their house? I wonder why Vtuff don't make the PW part petrol or diesel powered? Then it wouldn't need electricity! My old steam cleaner was same elec powered pump, diesel powered heater.
Thanks for tuning in everybody! Timestamps should be on screen or in the description to get stuck in to which ever part you like, few random adventures before I started the frozen roof!

Invest in some thermals. I finally did and it's like "wtf have I been doing all these previous winters?" 😂
Get yourself a few wool sweater/jumpers, fingerless gloves and a balaclava for steam cleaning days! All that water will just add to the damp winter chill. And a cheap polar fleece jacket (£10 at Primark!) to leave in the van.

Have you thought of hiring a sand blaster for the old stones?

Awesome tip mate thank you, I will have to get started on something like that!
Man what a difference! And By the looks of it, it seems streaming/pressure washing is not only making the job cleaner, but also faster, and it looks less straining than the scraping! Very nice
it's faster until you have to clean up all the mess :D but it sure is satisfying
Never knew watching someone clean a roof could be so satisfying
From an onlooker, that machine looks like it is easier to clean the roof with. It came right off and looks amazing!
I bet the wet moss is a pain but the steamer gives instant gratification. Roof looks amazing 💖💖
Wow that new machine is the game changer Sid. Thought it was funny to 'wake up the moss' only to slay it 😆. May want to check the weather forecast the night before. 👍
this is extra satisfying, I'm glad I could make the premier
The roof looks great! It's amazing how the right tools, being used by someone who knows how to use them, can make such a difference. Cheers!
Great job! Love seeing the details of your day. Really showed what you have to go through in your work. Thanks for a great video. Stay warm!
Awesome Sid! Keep us posted about the solar panels, I’ve had a tricky one with loads of white lichen recently. Be interested to see what chemical you use.
Looks amazing. Great work Sid and thanks for sharing this with us take care
You've done amazing over the past year. I'm glad I've been able to watch you grow!
Champion mate looks great have a day love from TEXAS
thanks tina! you too!
Perfect time of upload, can just lay down and watch it peacefully 👋

You did a lovely job on that roof. It almost liked brand new!
Okay, wow! That roof looks amazing after the steam cleaning. It also looked easier to do than scraping, but I could be wrong.
BRILLIANT! GREAT WORK, I WORK IN THE TRADE AND THIS IS FLAWLESS!
Great job Sid! The electrical engineer in me has to correct you though, it's not voltage that is the issue but rather current draw, electric motors can be hungry beasts especially during start up.

Husband is watching people play a powerwashing simulator game while I watch this video. 😄
It's always nice hearing from you Sid.😊

Hey hey, welcome "back" trust you had a great festive with the family. Looking forward to an awesome year.
This is my favorite channel too! I. Listen while I'm working.
Wow, such a massive difference !
I'm cold just watching you! Stay warm Sid! The roof looks wonderful now.
A green roof ends up to be a beige roof.... wtf 😱
Great job, Sid ♥
Stay warm Sid!! Great video! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic job mate the steam machine is defo the way to go
Nice one Sid, it’s good to see the clean up process after the steam cleaning, I’m thinking of going that route this year also after seeing the results.
Happy new year.
Frank
I was waiting for you to hose each other down LOL what am amazing instant result Vtuff looks brilliant sid.
Kev stayed pretty dry today but i did hose myself down at the end of the day xD cheers lee!
Being honest, I like how mossy roofs look, but I assume that's bad for houses and your work, Sid, is so amazing! Even in the cold like that 😆
I'm sure moss has cooling advantages in the summer time, but concrete tiles probably don't like it.
Hi Sid, great work as usual love all your videos, very satisfying to watch! I'd recommend getting yourself some goretex waterproofs, not cheap but they are worth every penny especially in horrible weather they keep you bone dry!

Beeeeaaautiful job!!! I’m glad you didn’t enter into hypothermic stages. Take care 🙌🏽
Fine work,Sir.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That side wall looked so green! 😱
What a great job 👍😊
You did great job. It looked like frozen spinach salad before. I am glad you did not freeze. Stay healthy and safe with frozen job sites.
Looks fantastic!!
thank you lillian!
Great and satisfying clean! I don’t know how you two can work in such cold conditions. Take a couple thermos of hot beverages along on days like this. Brrr 🥶
That roof looks AMAZING!
thanks pat!
Hi Sid. Nice video and honest pricing your an inspiration nice van
Wow! What a difference to that roof. Looks amazing! Clearly very chilly though so perhaps some thermal clothing! 😉Shame the other jobs didn’t go quite to plan. Very frustrating.
That was aces Sid! Such a good looking job.
Wow, fantastic job. The roof looks brand new.
Well I think the steam washer did a great job certainly a better option in freezing weather
Have you ever had trouble with pressure washing roofs since you started like water ingress or anything or accused of damage?
Thanks sid keep up the great work very inspiring 💪
OMG what a great job Sid! Even in brass monkey weather you got it done. Love your awesome work ethic! 👍
Dude, no one works as hard as you. You da man !!!
Really nice job! I could almost feel the cold! ❄️ ❄️
Hey Sid, I see you taking breaks, and I assume the long length of line plus water is not easy to handle over the day. Have you considered rigging up a fulcrum against the scaffold with counterweight to help holding the water line easier?

I have a small 600w oil radiator in the van over night to save the trouble 😉 (Joseph Spekki)

You need some Carhart winter gear and waterproof gloves. Most guys wear it during our cold winters of minus twenty to thirty degrees C.
I would like to add heated west and other electrically heated clothing, before cold destroys your joints.
