Hi Sid, thank you for taking the time to clean the roof and block paving at my home. I just wanted to let everyone know that if they were considering having a quote to not hesitate, I was surprised at how reasonable your prices were. I would also like to say how lovely everyone was and to say Elias has such lovely manners and if I was his mom I’d have been very proud of him. Sorry you tripped over on the drive, hope you didn’t hurt yourself. These three men are grafters, they worked nonstop all day, vlog shows only a fraction of their hard work. Thank you again 😊
Thank you Maureen you were a gem to work for ☺️
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Sid, thank you till next time! 😀
I can't stress enough how important keeping things organized and clean is. This with maintenance always extends the life of the equipment. A place for everything and everything in its place. The bonus is no hunting for equipment or parts plus it makes the days work easier. Fifteen minutes at the end of everyday putting things back where they belong and cleaning up is vital. It was good you learned about that screw and how to correct that concern/problem. We all learn something new everyday. Nice to see you take time out to recharge and return to lots of work ahead.
Good man Sid, you need your breaks. Take them more often. You clients won’t abandon you as your work is top quality
@@mikaelhg absolutely correct. I maintain all my own tools regularly. Keeping them free from dirt, blowing them out with compressed air etc.
Mental health and wellness come first - always.
"If you don´t take a break you will break!" I always say that to myself to gather new energy for the next things or spend time with the family. Good to have you back Sid. Much love from Germany
Something I needed to hear.
Thank you for showing when things go wrong. So often we just see the fun and perfect parts of jobs and life. So it's refreshing to see when things go wrong and how to troubleshoot/respond to them. Also I'm really glad you took time off! The company I work for only lets us roll over a certain amount of days of vacation each year because we WANT people to take time off. It's not healthy to work forever and always with no breaks. I use the airplane mask analogy - on an airplane they tell you that if an oxygen mask drops, secure yourself before others. Because if you pass out before helping others, then you're useless anyway. It's the same with life and work, if you don't take care of yourself then you won't be able to take care of other people or things eventually.
I'm amazed that such a little part that wasn't tightened enough caused all that! I would bet you never forget how to check for it. God bless you!
There’s alllllways something 😆
Omg Sid you were down the road from me on Bardon view. im in birchmoor
Thank you Sid. I am so glad you took time out for you and your family. It has been great to see how much you have grown in your business and life. You work hard and do such a good job.
Glad you had a nice relaxing holiday with your family. Amazing work and thanks for the video take care
Its amazing isnt it, we ran it for an hour at ours while servicing it only for the safety valve to play up after a few hours on site, The good news clear the crud out and reset and its away again... For the hours surpisingly very little issues
Always the way mate :D thanks for getting me up and running, worked like a charm the next day!
It's all happening Sid. Tales of domestic abuse, equipment malfunctions, banged knees and lots of mess! You won in the end. Great work and remember tomorrow will be a good day. Thanks.
Looking refreshed from your much needed holiday. I hope your wife and kiddos are well , Love all your videos
Big fan from Tampa Florida USA
Welcome back! Always bugs to be worked out after a service. Fantastic work, though! You have high standards. Cheers!
Hooray, Sid's back!!
Strangely we had exactly the same issue for a few weeks with the red turbo nozzles, but it turned out not to be an issue with the supply/system, it was purely when we were pressure washing driveways somehow the grit, sand and minute stones found there way into the nozzle. Had it once, replaced the nozzle, did it again the next day, took it back, cleaned out, worked again for a day, happened again, took it back, cleaned, worked, did it again but eventually just happened to clear itself somehow. Can only figure we were unlucky with the driveways and they had some kind of different stone that somehow managed to find it's way into the nozzle, been using them now again for a few weeks with no issues !!
It seems like sometimes they take a while to settle in, it’s strange - I was super annoyed that day as 3 of those reds were still in the packaging and blocked up instantly so I was fuming 😅 think I just had some crap stuck in the hose or it’s partly degrading, we’ll see on the next job. Seems to run great on driveways though, confusing!
Welcome back! Glad you had a nice time off! I saw you hadn't posted for a bit and thought it was just that! Clients will come back, but your health, mental and physical, that's something you can't lose!
been waiting ages for another upload haha love these, 27k till the headshave ;)
Sid, you always say "I'll figure it out" usually in reference to figuring out a work problem. I have no doubt that's how you'll do it from now on, without feeling overwhelmed.
So glad you got that break, nice family memories.
Great to see you back looking refreshed & relaxed.
I'm saving this video for tomorrow, it's 10:30 pm here in New Zealand, Saturday night. I'm doing a shift (for work) tomorrow morning to help out. Your video is my knock off treat! Cheers.
Accident and frustrated is always happening it’s nice to watch you put all those things in your video not just happy ending and big checks in some other TH-camrs.❤
I was waiting for your video for such a long time !! Love it
So, forgive me for sounding dumb here, but I've always had this question in the back of my head. What happens with the weather in the UK and such that makes these roofs end up in such a state? Having the large amounts of mud and all that up there? Being a born and bred Arizonian I'm used to roofs staying relatively clean no matter our weather, even during our monsoon season, so seeing all these videos has me ultra curious~
It's just wet all the time here, it's meant to be summer and we've only had two weeks of sun in the last 3 months xD
It is not really dirt, it is moss and organic growth.
Bird sh!t makes an excellent fertiliser to grow moss and other plants. Thanks to the RSPB we have a lot of birds in the UK and can’t do a thing about it.
@@FistralG Thank you so much for the really informed reply, totally satisfies that curiosity~ ^^
@@jaklg7905 Thank you for the reply, helped satisfy my curiosity ^^
I love the brickwork and how it cleans up! You definitely should take more breaks. It's good for you. Still enjoy the videos.
I could feel your frustration Sid. Bugger of a first day back. You did need to spend time with your beauties as you have been working so hard. Pleased for you that you got it all fixed. I confess m just not used to green walls that you clean. Naive of me I know. You have changed how everything looks and for the better. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
Know exactly what you mean Sid about something going wrong every day, for me i am glad i can sort 90% of it myself or i would be out of business if i had to pay everytime something went wrong.
Yeah too right, gonna have to start paying attention so I can keep myself running!
@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning once it breaks you know how to fix it next, I always buy 2 of everything so I have spare next time it happens, comet pump went this week, nice to watch your progress Sid, I am at the other end just about to retire.
Hi Sid! I enjoy your videos and as weird as it sounds, so does my cat. She will lay down on my tummy and stay engaged through the whole show. I suppose you never thought you were a favorite of cats! lol
Welcome back, great job
At least you can laugh at yourself playing back the video. Everybody gets frustrated to the point of needing to release pressure, don’t beat yourself up for it. I love how honest and real you are. Great video Sid. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Going to need another holiday.😊
Former commercial cleaner here. I always knew it was time for a break, when I got this twitch above my right eye 😂.
Good to hear you had a relaxing break! What a job you had with all those issues, they always seem so big! Good to hear that PWS have your back and can show you little bits to make your days be easier. Smashed it again guys!
Look at that clean van! :D It's so tidy lol Good to hear you had a great break and good to see you back :)
Lovely to see you back, Sid. You and your team did a great job all around.
Welcome back! So glad you took a break as it’s very important to rest, spend time with your family and refresh.. ☀️😎⛱️
Another fantastic clean and video.. Thanks Sid.. 😊 Viewer from Sydney, Australia… 🇦🇺
The first day back is always the worst. For the down spouts and hard to reach drainage I bought a jetter from amazon and its a great little piece of kit for clearing the clogs on drain pipes. Literally just attaches to the end of 1 of the guns and rips through all that stubborn blocked muck. I dont need on every job so just went with the cheap option at the minute it only cost around 50 quid if I find I need it on more jobs I'll upgrade to a professional version. Handy piece of kit to have in the van with you.
One little part destroyed the Challenger. We don’t give enough importance to little parts and bolts. They are the network that supports the bigger stuff. Sorry that happened. It’s Murphy’s Law. Day before vacation or the day back from vacation. Always happens.
I'm glad you've figured it out now!
Glad you had a good holiday.
Yes things do tend to try our patients and now you know what to look out for and now know how to fix them on site things will run smoothly. I hope you have a wonderful week
A 40min video from the Sid is all we want in these gloomy and rainy afternoons ~~
Glad to see you’re feeling better but be careful now not to take on too much. What a frustrating day for you though with your hose heads. Better luck tomorrow.🤩
I know you said you made a viewpoint decision to include more types of things on your videos. We've followed along learning about different surfaces, how to clean them, reaching difficult spots, protecting plants, rinsing off and more. That you are now including things you have to deal with, from traffic, new classes, new aspects from expanding, is good for everybody to learn. Just when you had maintenance done, a little part causing havoc is a sorry thing but at least you know about it now. Liked the owners comment that you all worked hard and Elias had good manners. Yes, we need this new level...moss clogs, "o" rings, troubled turbos and all. Your excellent work is being created by being able to juggle a lot of variables, as well as high standards and persistence. Glad you all did well on trouble-shooting the problems. That home looks well cheered-up with the cleaning. Nice work all.
LOL So what did you learn? I am sorry all that happened when you were so happy.. I am also glad that is was a very small thing that caused all that frustration. Glad to hear your vacation was relaxing, so often it takes a couple of days to recoup from a "vacation" Sounds like you all made a very great impression. You are all very hard workers and deserve the praise. The places looked beautiful. Much love from California 😄❤❤❤❤
Thank you Sid for the video. I love watching your videos, it's very calming. Funny sometimes too.
I'm glad you show the good and the bad. I think you'll look back at these when you're older and be glad you did this.
I put it somewhere in here about checking the carbon fibre rod to check if the hose inside it is going. It's worth checking now before it does go.
See you next video.
Still in vacation mode😊😊...
Brick driveways and paths normally have sand brushed over and into the spaces between each other , you wash it away so eventually movement occurs, or do you replace it .
We all get bad days Sid but is so annoying when it's something small and can't figure it out another great job mate to you and the lads
Sid you are an A grade dude. Love your integrity, work and videos!
Murphy's Law, "If it can go wrong, it will." 😅😂😅
Great reminder to take care of yourself. All the best to you!
What a pain for your first job back!
Live and learn
Two comments:
You service the equipment to keep it in too form, so the same applies to the human machine.
Speaking if maintenance, still watching this video, but do you think the system maintenance caused debris to be losened to plug the nozless.
Possibly! It seemed absolutely fine after a long run through so it’s possible new oils & filter changes possibly dropped some crap in the lines. I’m gonna run them through before starting each job now just to save myself a temper tantrum 🤣 and very try with your first point
Burnout is a real thing. I’ve done it to myself so many times. Limits are there to help you know when to stop and smell the roses. Life is so fleeting, you can’t spend it like me - in perpetual worry over things you can’t control. You’ve got good customers who will understand a week’s holiday away. Always take care of yourself first so you can take care of others 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Seems to me you had an issue sent it in for a service. It came back all done and checked. Only for the issue to still be there and worse. Pws gear is good. But I took my small Honda in Pws for a few issues to be fixed they told me it would be around £450 and not worth spending that much on the machine I decided to look at it myself to see if I could fix it to sell it. The eye glass was cracked £10 for a new one and i fitted a new sump plug £6. All fixed and going strong. Think the £450 quote was so I’d buy a new machine. Either that or the work was £16 parts £434 labour.
Gosh, that was sure a tough day back. But you came through great with all those problems. Just like the pro you are. One question Sid, those poles you clean the roof with, how heavy are they? Your arms and back must get so sore. Just be careful and take care of yourself. You are one special young man. 💕
theyre pretty heavy but not as heavy as they look, its all carbon fibre but the hose running through it plus the nozzles adds a lot of weight, but! the water pressure keeps it hovering so it's not too bad really
Thanks for the reply Sid. Have a beautiful relaxing evening with your family. From steaming hot Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦
OMG what a day you had. Well hopefully those only come along every once in a while; I'm sure you're already sorted back out.
On those jobs with bad drainage, is it possible to use your gutter vac to suck up the excess water and dump it in a street drain instead?
Love your videos - keep em coming. Shout outs to Kev and Elias as well. I just love watching you guys.
Wd40 in the turbo it will work fine agian
I’m sorry you’ve had a bad day. Sending prayers ❤
Awesome video as ALWAYS Sid 👏 👍 👌
Days like these need plenty of...☕☕🍫🍫. So glad you got it sorted. I think it was also the van being grumpy it didn't get to go on holiday....lol
Sorry it was such a rough go on the first day back. The roof looked great afterward!
Thanks for sharing.
So sorry your first day back was such a difficult one but you made it right in the end and did another fantastic job.
Which I could teach you to slow down, stop trying so hard and stressing over things and understand that it really doesn't matter as much as we think it does in the long run.
No worries Shit happens 😅. At the end, Congratulations Excellent job well done 👏👏. Blessings to you and your family 👍🏡🥰🤗
Used to spend week at lake resort. Kinda busy actually. Lots to do
Others in the trade use a prefilter before the turbo since it is so expensive and time consuming to clean the nozzles.
That Casio is a classic. Nice choice💙
😮hugs🫂😬 dang rough day back!😂😮
The turbos sometimes does that kind of problems and cut offs, I had to loosen a bit the top part to run properly Sid 😀 good job🎉
I had those problems but went on ebay and got long brass fillers , bo more problems 👍
Ment no more problems
I feel like in customer service jobs you need at least a week off every three months or so just to take stock, good on you and great to see you back 👍🙏
See Conrad at AC he's ya man..descale your boiler
Take some time on a regular basis… you work hard and take time to sharpen the saw Dr Steven Covey book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People “
Could be your hoses breaking down to the was contaminates from when your system was opened to be worked on.
No hate on the young blud, but you remember Eyore from Winnie the Pooh, Sid? My dude Elias sounds like him mate. 😂 Man need some sunshine in his life! 🌞
(Me too, just sayin. 😂 No judgement).
Great honest video Sid. Can you recommend a hose brand as mine have been marking also occasionally and it drives me mad! Thanks mate 👍
Welcome back Sid. With regards to the blockages in the T.N.'s, do you run Inline Water Filters for High Pressure Turbo Nozzles (1/4" Screw)? Places like Equip2Clean sell them at just under £15. Sits just before the T. N. and eliminates this issue. You probably do, but in case you don't, have a look. All the best.
I need to learn how to make a proper cup of tea 🍵 😊
Hey sid great job as always goner dive in And watch ya old videos so i can cast my mid back to we’re it all begin
You are such a hard worker!!!!
We work hard jobs..perhaps I should get a TH-cam channel to whine and ramble on about my stressors. You have a good business, children,wife, home….and you can afford a holiday. I have friends in Sunderland who couldn’t heat their home this winter. Jeez…you’re blessed …just appreciate it
I surprised you don't have a little air compressor on your trucks, to blow back into the nozzles(get any crap out) and flush the hoses.
I have 2 black turbos that are about 10 years old and never had single problem with them.
Sidd to unblock nozzles soak them with vinegar enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS
Turbo nozzles maybe rusted not blocked. It’s not using them for a while soak them in some oil
nah about 4 of them were fresh out the packet that day, was something in the hose causing issues
Sid, could it be something in the carbon fibre telescoping rod? You said it has a hose inside it. Could that hose go rotten? Worth looking into.
Hope your better and hopefully everything goes ok from now on
Sid grab some spirit level vials araldite em on the underside on the end of tubes out the way of getting knocked off make throwing that tower up much quicker 👍🏻
What about a reverse osmosis system? It'll probably keep nozles nice and clean
You need to take a break now and then 👍👍Just to recharge your self 👍👍
Descale it ...tesco dishwasher cleaner 2.50
Sid.
Why have you not fitted inline filters to all your Turbo Nozzles.
All you need to do is clean the filter.
Peter
How f*ckin awesome is that!?
From being in a shit position with all your stuff breaking, being in a shit mood, fallin over like a buttface - to having the machinery sorted out, you LEARNING stuff and therefore being in a wy better position... really glad how it worked out Siddie boy! 😎 Great satisfying cleaning for us to see too! 10/10
Not sure if you would be interested but in case you are Simon from the TH-cam channel as been wanting to go do a power washing job.
In before Sid gets in trouble for taking the tea for himself. 🤣
😂😂😂
How was the loose fitting causing debris to enter the hoses? Or was that a different issue?
Yay!!❤
I see you were using a large flat drive cleaner, can you tell what one it was as I have a Hyundai petrol washer but can’t find a brush flat Drive patio cleaner.
Hey Sid, love your videos... I was wondering, would your set up lend itself to graffiti removal from stone, concrete or brickwork? Do you ever get asked about this?
It would be facinating to watch if you did....
All the best!
it's good to get away sometimes
A well deserved break :)
we all need time off bud and on that job when youre done i presume a painter is coming sjeez that looks bad hahahah
Great job as always, but could you give me a scale model of a car in your company's coloring book?
