This is a shout out to my good mate Ben from Flawless Cleaning. He reminded me how awesome the 18" Whirlaways were when he bought his a couple of months back, so because of him, I went and bought myself a nice new shiny one from Rutland Pumps. Nice one Ben 👍, I forgot how easily these things blast through the weeds in block paving, it's like having an 18" turbo nozzle - love it 👌.
That's another fabulous job done. Those blocks are beautiful with all the different tones showing once that dirt was blasted away. I really enjoy watching you work your magic on these jobs. Well, you AND your machines. Hope your business is going from strength to strength. 👍
Many thanks onlyhuman1954, you're very kind. Business is great thanks, i've been so busy lately I haven't had any time to post a new video, which always seems to effect the TH-cam algorithm in a negative way. Oh well. Thanks for the great comment though, Nick.
Look at you being ever so mindful of their plants! Love watching Ben also! The outcome on this one is spectacular Nick, it looks so good! Damn fine Jon young man! You should be very proud! Be well Nick!!😊
Glad you did the edging, it really started pulling attention as soon as you started cleaning. Nice work. Liked your soft wash nozzle, put out product fast and in volume and you had good control. You'd never guess it was the same driveway when done!
Hey there Ched, thanks a lot buddy 🙂. First time i'd seen that colour and shade myself bud, definitely not your standard looking blocks. Yeah custy was so chuffed, he wanted me to carry out some pointing work on his patio around the back, but i couldn't as there's a worldwide shortage of cement at the moment 😕🤔
@@ched999uk Unfortunately none of the B&Q's round my way have it (last time i checked anyway), could get it if I drove to London, but just haven't got the time or inclination to travel that far. It's no worries really bud, i've got plenty of other work on to keep me busy. To be honest, I try and avoid pointing work these days, as my back can't take it 🤣, thanks for the heads up though Ched 👍
Hi Nick, watching this video was like a meditation. It was so satisfying, relaxing and therapeutic. Thanks for putting up such amazing videos. I have noticed one thing that, you inculcate all inputs from your viewers in your work which is fantastic. Being a professional, I have always appreciated good work. So I just want to tell you that you do an amazing work. Wish you a lot more success and growth. P.s: the old and new driveway match which I didn't expect when I saw the beginning of the video😅
Aw thanks Lakshmi, lovely kind words as ever, thank you so much. I really appreciate how you take the time to make such constructive, helpful comments. You're definitely one of my favourite subbies, that's for sure 😊🙂.
Fabulous video Nick, l was amazed that beautiful brickwork was under there, another great watch, you do some of the best work here on TH-cam, your one of my favorites, thank you for all the hard work I love it.:)
Hiya Angie, thanks very much. Yeah, quite unusual paving on this job, i'd never seen that colour or pattern before. Aw, you're so kind, what a lovely compliment, you're one of my favs too, 😊.
Beautiful job Nick. Love watching you apply the hypo using the xjet. Is it neat hypo in the drum and you just use the correct proportioner to match what ratio you require? Does the whirlaway 18" really shift the weeds like a turbo nozzle?? I can never shift the weeds or moss using the surface cleaner, always end up going back to the turbo nozzle. Need an upgrade I think. Top class work as always, and pleasure to watch 👍
Hey Paudie, my apologies for my slow response bud. Yes mate, neat hypo with surfactant and a proportioner to set the strength 👍. Bit of an exaggeration on my part bud about the Whirlaway being like a turbo nozzle, but if it's set up correctly and powered through a 21lpm machine or higher, it's not far off. Thanks again for your awesome feedback as always, it means a lot. All the best mate 👍.
Love watching what you can do with your skill, i was just wondering what i could clean my tar mack drive way with to bring it back some way decant thank you john from Ireland 👍👍
A great video once again. Great professionalism and attention to detail. GoPro camera for videos, im going to start using, Love the way you get the X-jet working; have you used pre-mixed SH/surfactants in the past? keep sharing the knowledge.
Got those exact same stones, and forgot how pleasing they are when they’re clean, I must get out there and make them look more presentable… 👍wonder if bilt hamber car snow foam will work as well 😂
They were actually laid by a friend of a friend, the fella who laid them said they were the excess of a pub job he’d just finished somewhere in Royston, Hertfordshire - Not too far from me. Was only half joking about the car snow foam as that’s what it reminded me of. But I suppose the correct detergent could actually work if put through a lance. So I may well give that a go some time in the future. I’ll let you know definitely.
Hi... Great video... Can I ask you.. What's the difference between a turbo nozzle And just an ordinary jet wash nozzle .. Is it just that one jets more pressure or is the water action of the turbo different.... Thanks... Also if it is just a difference between pressure how can you tell what pressure change there is say when changing to a turbo head
Hi Richard, thanks very much. The pressure is the same on each nozzle, as long as the user has the correctly suites nozzle size on each, to suit their particular machine. The turbo nozzle spins, and is used mainly for removing stubborn built in dirt and weeds as it's more aggressive. The fan nozzle is also very effective at removing built in dirt, but much less effective against weeds. The fan nozzle is much better on brick walls for example, as it's less aggressive, and much less likely to remove the pointing.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning great thanks.. So is the pressure coming from the nosel of the lance or the machine or both.. I've been looking at different nosel. And the come with different bar power actually on the lance or nozzle.. I mean I was thinking about buying a bigger machine for home use than the k2.. To k7.. But would I just need a higher bar lance on the k2 to get more power... Thanks
A chemical one bud, this one www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004DY4U5A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 These are awesome, and I would highly recommend 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning what soap is it you use as a surfactant if you don’t mind saying.. I can never get the same foam results you seem to achieve bud. Amazing videos by the way, great work.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Thanks Nick, i having a battle with Moss my mix turns it brown then 2 days later its green again. On that 3 to 1 is that 3SH and 1 water or the other way around? What % strength do you use. Thanks for the help Hannes from South Africa
@@superman00000008 No worries Hannes. I use 15% SH. Sorry didn't explain that properly. 3 parts water to 1 part SH. If you're not removing the moss first, then it might be a good idea to go a little stronger, 2 parts water to 1 part SH, if that doesn't give the desired results, i'd go 50/50. 👍
Was looking at Rutland pumps but looks like you have to choose one. Seen them on eBay direct from the states with the whole kit. Where was yours from mate
@@benvagg3806 no bud, you don’t need to choose one, the X-jet comes with all the the little coloured proportioners. The options you are seeing on the website relate to your pressure washer and how it’s set up .
Trust me, you wouldn't say that if you heard it sped up, it's a horrible high pitched whining noise. All my videos are sped up, so I have no real option than to add music.
You're entitled to your opinion, but we would never advise anyone to use sealer, as in our experience it offers little benefit for quite a lot of money. We certainly wouldn't advise sealing first, then sand. The correct way is to sand then seal.
You’re obviously not aware that intentionally spraying mucky water, dirt and chemicals into the street is illegal, as it could clog up the drains. You are required by law to contain as much as possible by bagging it up or spraying the waste water into bushes or borders - hence Why I didn’t spray it into the road.

You do a wicked job mate 👍 just a quick question is a karcher k4 good enough to get the results you guys do?
If you have all the time in the world yes. Its not just about high pressure though it's the combination of pressure/chemical application and knowhow.
What Bucks Jetwashing said 👍, he's spot on 👌. Definitely doable, will just take much longer.
Very nice!🤩
Thanks! 😊
Hi, what's the sand for? I assume it's so nothing grows in the cracks?
Hi fawneei, the main reason is to stabilise the blocks and keep them in position 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning ohh thanks for the answer!
Nice job and work! What chemicals did you use for this job?
Thanks a lot Gerald 👍. I used sodium hypochlorite with added surfactant to create the foam.
Great video - How much Surfactant would you add to the hypo?
Cheers bud, I just pour it in without measuring it, but i'd say roughly around 100ml per 25litre drum, you don't need much of that stuff.👍

What respirator do you use to protect against the hypo bud?

@@PrestigeExternalCleaning ah nice thanks. I’m in Cambridge area too, thanks for the vids
Hi... Would it be possible to use an electric karcher 7..with that type of surface cleaner your using in this video... Thanks
Yes, absolutely, but it will take you 3-4 times longer. The surface cleaner is an 18" Whirlaway, but unfortunately it won't fit on a domestic Karcher.
What kind of soap/cleaner did you use after your first power washing?
Sodium hypochlorite with added surfactant to create the foam
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning what soap is it you use as a surfactant if you don’t mind saying.. I can never get the same foam results you seem to achieve bud. Amazing videos by the way, great work.
May I ask what the sand does ? Just fill in cracks and stuff ?
It stabilises the blocks, keeps them in position.
Did you use a biocide soft wash or a hypo ?
Hypo
👍👍👍
Cheers Big K, top bloke you are 👍
Hi Nick what ration SH did you use for the softwash? What ratio do you use for tiled roofs
Hi Hannes, 2 or 3 to 1 on paving depending on the staining, mostly 3/1 on roofs.
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Thanks Nick, i having a battle with Moss my mix turns it brown then 2 days later its green again.
