That's insane.. that drive didn't look THAT dirty at all!
Must be the dirtiest water in the country.
Exactly what I thought
I thought the same thing! But the power washing must have brought out all the dirt between the pavers!
Is that a permeable driveway? I thought I heard you say something about gravel or something like that being in between the bricks.
The owners know what their driveway needs and should look like.
Wow that’s mad!
I can NOT believe how much mud there was! The oil patch looks MUCH better. You really worked your ass off on this one! Great video Sid. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😮 In 2 days il work for my first customer wish me luck
You've got this!!
How'd it go!?
Hope it went well
How did it go? I had my first customer last week. Defintely underestimated the job and asked to low price😂
Oil stain - Fuller's Earth, a hydrous alum silicate. Its the clever bit in Spanish Granules. You put it on like a paste leave it for a day then rinse it off. The oil migrates into the FE paste. It's used in cleaning decades of pollution off important buildings and other construction uses. 😊
You and Kevin have done an excellent job on the entire property. From the roof to the sidewalk. You have nothing to be disappointed about Sid. You knocked it clean out of the park! You both deserve a long hot soothing bath to ease those aching muscles and complete rest for the next 24 hours.👍
yep i was asleep by 9am last night xD
This was shocking! It didn't even look that dirty! It's amazing how much mud you removed from their brick! Awesome job as always! 😊❤
As someone who’s been in business for almost 15 years that’s why I give estimates not quotes.
Sid. I clean several restaurants here in the states and the product that I use to melt away the food grease is caustic potash(potassium hydroxide)KOH and the product I use to remove oil and diesel fuel is caustic soda (lye)sodium Hydroxide(NaOH) it is fairly regulated over here and I suspect it is there as well. NaOH is the base used for most commercial degreasers over here. I buy the caustic soda beads in a 50#US bag and the caustic potash liquid on a five gallon US carboy container. Best of luck.
After treating stones with the solution on them...sometimes if u have time dig them out and flip over..usually bottom is not covered in oil...
At the start of the video I was thinking it wouldn’t make much difference because the paving looked OK but holy moly that is mental.
Maybe try „massaging“ the oil remover into it more, using a drill brush? Never tried them myself yet.
You turned into A Bond villain with this. ODDJOB😂😂
all that work gives a whole new meaning to "oh my days" LOL
It’s a lovely modern bungalow set in the countryside - idyllic !
For pooling water ... one guy with backpack blower behind the pressure washer into the grass
the flow of water around 1:05 reminds me of Lichtenberg figures... nice work as always!
Why dont you use a leaf blower to get rid of the water puddles ? Blow it right out into the grass. If it's just water that is. It would help it dry faster as well.
Should have made this one into a film
carry on steam cleaning

Cracking job Sid , as for the oil , I’d be really pleased if this were my yard , Great Job x
My little one is watching Scooby Doo currently and this reminds me of when a monster comes out of no where. Watch the mud monster Sid 🤣🤣🤣 also mate do NOT under estimate that oil patch it looks 100 times better mate someone who didn’t see the before wouldn’t even know mate cracking job 👊👊
I Have Been Watching Your Videos For A Few Months & I Got To Say This House Must Be The Most Coolest House You Have Worked At. Plus You Did A Brilliant Job & WOW That Oil Spill Looks Soo Much Better.
Try "Dawn" dishing washing liquid. It removes oil. If it works, Yeah, if not it has to be cheaper.
That oil remover is fantastic. I can hear my dad saying lighter fluid and fire to get out that last bit deep in the pores but considering how close that area is to the main structure I'd say no. If the client is happy, let it go. He can always replace the stones if it bothers too much. Remember to send the before and afters to the company.
A LOT of work but well worth it. It's lovely.
With the trajectory you're on, you'll hit 200k by the end of the year right? I hope so, you absolutely deserve it!
Your work ethics just astound me. You can't find many people like that anymore ❤
plus 10 from autosmart is by far the best oil remover I've ever used. I do loads of oil removal jobs and it almost always completely removes it. Area needs to be dry when you apply it though.
I was thinking, why do they want it cleaned? Then oh my god all that mud!
Great video. I think the chemical and you both did a fantastic job on that oil stain. The driveway’s size alone made it a huge project. When you previewed it last week, we could see it was a big driveway. I was gobsmacked when washing it exposed that thick layer of mud you had to deal with as well. You and Kevin did a great job!
Why do I find these videos so mesmerising and relaxing?
You did great Sid, it was so black and now it just looks as if it is wet. :) Great job.
Great job Sid, I’ve done a few permeable drives and that one looked like it was bedded on mud! Also, the whole drive was too low with the grass being at the same level, consequently it’s supplying the drive with a constant supply of dirty water. At least, that’s what it looks like. Don’t think anyone could have done any better with the oil stain. As a last resort, I advise clients to have cleaned but stubborn blocks lifted and swapped for clean ones from elsewhere and in less obvious positions.
Turn the paving with oil over sid then clean :)
Now that the hydrophobic oily bits are gone can you not treat it like a regular stain and bleach it?
In the sun perhaps, the UV might help the bleach.
Mix hyper peroxide (concentrated) and baking soda. But a some what thick paste on and the plastic sheets. Needs to sit for at least 20-30 mins.
I did something the same early in my property maintenance career... Two and a half days later I finished my four hour job... Only saving grace was I did manage to negotiate a better number with the customer - but it was only better enough to make it bearable, not profitable, if you know what I mean...
Two things with oil, some of those permeable blocks can be flipped, not all are suitable it’s brand dependent but always worth checking. On a property that size I’d have looked for somewhere less obvious to swap the blocks once clean, I do a lot of block swapping you just have to charge for the time it takes. Good job though.👍
The oil spot is 95% gone!!! Fantastic job!! God bless
I stained my pavers once when I forgot to tighten an oil filter on my car during a change, spilt 3 litres straight out onto drive
Found laundry powder works really well sprnkled over to clean greasy hands if your mucking around with equipment or ir to break down oil on pavers or concrete with a little water to activate, after 3 treatments you couldn't tell it had oil on it at all. Dishwashing liquid also has degreaser in it but laundry powder seems to be stronger and more effective
Mate, cracking job of it all. You all did well there. FYI, the explanation sections of these videos is the best part imo as it shows how much care and thought you put in to the pro work you do. You're not just a bloke with a lance. Great work.
The stain is better, if their not happy then they can turn the bricks up side down.😊
It's a brown shade instead of a full on black stain....pretty good I would say! 👍 It Looks so much better.
Amazingly better!!!!!
I feel sorry for Kev - Sid goes on about his best, best, best ever mate (who was in part 1 of this job) and they were bantering away without a care in the world. Then there's Kev, pillar and stalwart of Partridge Exterior Cleaning, a giant in the industry, yet he hardly ever gets a mention. Kev 'carry on regardless', Kev 'whatever it takes', Kev 'I don't give a monkey's, me'. Kev is a constant presence and a source of inspiration, and he should be given the recognition and accolades he so rightfully deserves. We love you, Kev!
Yeah Kevin Renshaw is great.
I think Sid mentioned recently that Kev is his father in law! They seem to get on well but definitely not the banter he has with Jess. But different relationships for different things I guess :)
very weird take
@@Lucinda_Jackson Kev is Sid's father in law.
When Kev was off sick recently, Sid did notice it, for sure.
Wow that was alot of mud, the drive didn't even look dirty, but now you'd never know there was an oil stain
it's the zoom in on the flat tire for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kudos what a JOB!... Well done!
Near the wall in back garden the plant pot mark underneath looks like a lion 🦁
The same goes for John Heitinga, coach of Ajax (Amsterdam). He underestimated his job, too. Fortunately, I'm not an Ajax fan. 😁
Awesome job
What a job! That driveway didn’t look soooo bad! Where did all the muck come from?? That driveway and patio must have cost a FORTUNE to put in! You did an amazing job! That oil spot came out so well. Is that a single family home?
It barely looked like it needed doing at all! I suspect it's one family, looks like single story as the guy's a wheelchair user but still huge. Especially the garage!
@@airedale1913 yes it already looked good (to me anyway) -before Sid started! 😟
What a beautifully designed one-storey residence that was! (Full respect to the owner though as I’m sure he would prefer the use of his legs) great finish to the job Sid, you’ll need another good holiday soon!
I think as that bad oil stain was fairly localised it would probably be worth the owner lifting and swapping just those few blocks…..
I’m guessing the cost of a few new blocks may well be less than the cost of all that chemical treatment anyway..
I think that oil stain removal was amazing! Really outstanding!👍🏻💙💚💙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You both kicked butt on this one.
I've been waiting for thissssssssss
Can't believe that mud when it didn't look dirty 😱
Crazy stuff!
The mud!!😮😮😮
Great job on the oil!!
Two things that massively help on jobs like this, pre-wet the entire surface, wet moss comes out much better when wet so you can use the FSC and that produces far less crap and should be quicker. Also get some squeegee brooms, don’t use brushes to clear mud up.👍
You can use a poultice on that oil stain by the garage door and let it absorb the oil from the paver. There's several brands but basically you are taking a very dry compound and it draws the oil to the drier poultice material You can make your own poltice using diatomaceos earth. Great time to put it on now you have opened up the pavers to breathe. Nice work and I like your rigs. Stay safe.
Holy moly that was a lot of dirt! At this point, I know the driveway is always dirtier than it seems but damn lol. That oil stain looks so much better 😊
A good chunk of that muck has to be the granite dust suspended in water.
Like clay.
Fantastic job sid, best around 👍👍
You could most probably clean the oil stainwith laser cleaning, or maybe Co2 dry ice combination.
Amazing. Good job! Hello from the Philippines.
That was insane, where did that all come from lol
Great angle to shoot the time lapse. So satisfying.
I think the oil stain looks much better. If I was the homeowner I’d be very pleased.
You did an epic job. That oil stain looks fantastic. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it was oil stains
Amazing job, well done 👍
I know you underestimated the job, but you did fantastic work. It looks amazing! The amount of filth that came off was incredible! No one could have imagined that! Great job!
Looks amazing
It looks awesome ❤
Wow, first I've ever seen you need a narrow rather than the slop bucket! Wonder how many times it got filled? Fantastic though Sid as always
wow man that was crazy mud... 😅😅 i might struggle doing that myself.. but you smashed it
Fantastic job, well done 🎉...smashed it.
Could you not turn the blocks upside down or loose em around the edge
I am exhausted just watching the video! Fantastic job!
Thanks!
The oil spot looks a lot better what a huge job !!!! 👍👍😓😓
Think the culprits were bright orange mini digger and the off road Landie😮 tracking mud.
Great job with the oil patch, Sid
I absolutely love the arquitecture of that house... Wow
Gorgeous job and home!!❤
Great work again Bud 👍👍You need a map on that job site 👍👍Well Done 😀😀
I never thought the driveway was that dirty omg and as for that oil had you cleaned it that much for me i would be ecstatic that looks sooo much better than it was stop berating yourself - you both worked so hard on that property
Caustic soda would've helped to get the oil stains out, that's what they use on oil rigs to clean them.
It would probably be worth testing it out on a smaller patch first.
Awesome video! Shows all the hard work!
Wow the mud, madness!
Great perseverence you guys. Thanks again from NZ
Hi Mate what can you do? Keep up the good work as always.put it down to experience learn from your mistake👍👍🇬🇧
Amazing result! Watch the video and see the incredible job you guys did!
Did the pavers just lay the blocks straight onto the soil or did they actually bother to put down a membrane first? Would be surprised if the levels of the driveway start to move considerably after this job.
Only this much mud can be coming from the ground underneath no?
Answers on a postcard
Great job!
Honestly, at first glance from along the driveway, I probably wouldn't notice that oil stain now. But up close or above, it does stick out a little still. Great job on tackling it, it looks way better. Maybe another treatment or 2, or some kind of brightener/stain remover might do the trick. My great-grandparents used to use bleach to brighten their stained stones
Great job! Surprisingly muddy
Id say another treatment or two on the oil stain. Maybe with a longer set time should do the trick.
Awesome jo as always Sid, what a beautiful property it is and having put your touch on it has made it more beautiful,What about using SH on the oil stains?
Top quality work, from two top blokes….🎉
What an amazing home!
Have you ever tried W-D40 or a product called Simple Green on all the oil spots. I’ve used both for many different apps both work good.
Try fairy liquid and CIF outdoor cleaner . It lift the oil and. If will lighten it .
Stunning transition 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My goodness! Where was all that mud hiding? It didn’t even appear that dirty!
