Not seen a thread like this so thought it might be interesting for people to write and show what they've been up from one day to the next. Show images etc and maybe it will help others to learn how those standards can be achieved and discuss how it was done and if a particular chemical was used.
I understand if people don't want to divulge secrets etc, that's fair enough.
I'll throw in a couple of images tomorrow of some concrete stairwells that we're continuing to jet wash tomorrow.
-
I've got a decomp to clean tomorrow - hows that for a start but I won't be posting the photos

It was emergency apparentl boss inspecting garage on Monday

This is what we've just done, 14 of these. Horrible! Cig dimps and cat p coupled in the contained mist. Used 12'' mosmatic and turbo for edge and rinsing. Too about 25 mins to do one. The workout is pulling the hose round up and down! :)

Donnie with a honda or any heavy duty washer can you fit pressure gauges onto your washer to show you what pressure you want to clean at when you adjust pressure manually , Ive seen them on some washer pics, must be usefull on some materials you have been asked to clean as not to cause damage.
-
Just finished this Yesterday.. First pic is just the front side.. Just cleaned the white render. Was green in parts, some other staining and some old birds nests. Came up nice..The back side was like the second pic, about three of those in-shots.

yep you sure can, they are readily available , as you get experienced you wont need em though, they are useful for letting you know if your seal are still in tip top condition an aw , one off my pumps came with a pressure gauge but rarely look at it too be honest

I cleaned 4 concrete flags for an elderly lady today i did not have the heart to take any money of her....wages were a slice of home made cake ,a cup of tea and she insisted she gave me fiver. Don't you just love this job!!

I forgot all about this thread.
Roof cleaned today, got another one booked in for next week. Seems all im getting at the moment is calls for roof cleaning.

Good job Matt. Mike Roberts has done a nice one today. We've got a roof tomorrow, need to do a pub patio early morning in Leeds first so it will be a dinner start on the roof.

Rob - We use Samsung Galaxy S11 phones - they can become a portable wifi device and you can tether it to your laptop - and if signal is good - internet speed will be fast. Not sure if more up to date phones have this feature.
Photobucket - upload your images there - then you just click on copy image and paste the link wherever you want the picture to be seen.
Do Northerners still use tin cans and string between them to make and receive calls?
-
No pigeons....the can and string system went out years ago. Southerners know nothing.

here is one we did today

This was the busy front entrance of Croydon University Hospital. All day we had ambulances, taxis, cars, people, people, people - everywhere.
Still managed to get it done!
Clean to blue canopy
Pressure wash algae from top glass
Pressure wash underside of canopy
Clean glass and then breakdown cordoned off areas
Rob ;D
-
On the next day we had a side entrance canopy to clean, same set up but no access for the Niftylift so it was done from the ground.
When we finished I got a call to look at the Sainsbury's just down the road in Streatham - starting a roof clean tomorrow (Sunday), had to go and look at a Tesco job elsewhere, phone call to price a Sainsbury's further North and a fella from Essex rang me to do some gully vacuuming - turned that one down.
Rob ;D
-
Looks like a good job! I would not have the bottle to attempt anyrthing as big as that ..you are obviously braver than me.
I would like to see the risk assessment for that. Was that 20 page one you were doing. I think the paper work would finish me off if the job didn't! :)
-
Good stuff!
What's in the green bucket Rob, degreaser?
-
Bit of G101 Lee. Proper crusted on the algae. Mega delicate area, had a lot of the big brass at the hospital watching. In the pictures it looks quiet but at times the cars pulling up were three wide and all the way back down to the main road.
I spent all day trying to tell people why they couldn't use a closed and signed entrance, we had arrows and everything but people want to go the way they have always gone.
All done - everyone happy and onto the next job!
Rob ;D
-
Just my take on the pictures...please do not take offence .
I would of thought health and safety would of called for more than a cone and a bit of tape.
Working at height with a machine using a strong alkaline/caustic solution that could cause burns to anybody walking below.
The machine is overeaching the taped area into public domain and the banks man is not paying attention as he is on the phone/camera taking pictures.
As i say please dont take offence .I dont do big jobs it's just what i see. I am fairly new to this type of work and am always trying to improve the way i work so i am fairly critical. ???
-
Chris
Where are the people walking below?
The risk assessment was passed by the head of facilities!
Where is the machine over the barrier - you would have needed to be about nine foot tall to hit the picker!
I take my work very serious and at no time whilst I recorded the work did I put the operator, pedestrian or any other party in any danger.
You seem to have a real issue with me - I don't want an apology I don't want snidey comments. I am showing some work on a thread that has been created so that people can see the works.
I'll tell you what I see when I read your posts shall I.
I see someone who does a heck of a lot of talking, most of it is complete b**locks, you tell people to not use a turbo nozzle on block, everyone else says something different but you're right!
You want to save £150.00 on building your own machine - earn another £150.00 and you don't need to try and build your own.
You've got a website with a picture on it of a chap using a blue domestic FSC - what's that about, another picture of pressure washing in trainers, walking on a roof with no safe system in place, pictures of decking and lots of other things that aren't even your work - when you get your house in order and have something to look at, maybe then you can try and pull my works to pieces.
I get the work with the NHS, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, the Olympic park and others because I don't compromise, because I do the work properly and because I present individual risk assessments.
I never do anything to cause anyone concern and can be relied on to get the work done.
I have tried to stay away from your laughable need to comment on just about everything posted and the often just plain incorrect replies but I will be leaving this post up.
I don't wish you any ill but give it a rest.
I will continue to develop my business and keep taking on works from household names - you carry on trying to be a smart idiot and knowing everything.
Your nature may have a lot to do with where you are at in your business.
I am confident that you will have something to say about this. I wish I could say how many people from the forum have rung me to tell me how much of an idiot they see you as.
Rob ;D
-
Where's your website gone!!!
Rob ;D

Just in case anyone wants to see what I am on about.

I have nothing to say Rob . You like myself are entitled to your opinion.
I have no work on so i am spending a lot of time...too much time on the internet ;D
You are out working on some impressive jobs while myself i am hanging out on forums..that in it's self must say something about your business acumen.
Do people really think i am a "t*t"?
-
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience
I wont be commenting further.

BDCS.
Look at the second Robs hospital picture down...tell me what you see.
BDCS Do you advocate tel use of a turbo nozzle to clean a whole drive by somebody who is just starting out in the job...i do not.
BDCS Caustic or non caustic for cleaning plastic coated/ poss aluminium cladding (not aimed at you Rob but discussed in a previous post somewhere).
I really dont care about what others think. I am willing listen and learn from professionals. I actually think you are ( one of the few) that know what you are talking about and i am always interested in your posts
Roger seems to have the wood restoration down to "t" this i would be very interested in..but his are "trade" secrets which he has took a long time to develop.Why should he share these skillis with me?
Rob i see as the "big clean up man!"tesco,hospitals etc..from him i could learn about setting the jobs up,organising working teams,health and safety,dealing with big organisations...i could learn a lot from him. But he takes my amateure observations /questions to heart...i really just say what i see or think and i am willing to be corrected,thats how i learn.
This week i have learnt that i annoy most of you and you think i am a tit.... I will try and keep my posts to minimum
-
The little contact I have had with Chris was positive.
I was asking about roof algaecide and Chris gave me enough to cover a roof or two free of charge. He didn't even want anything for postage.
I thought this was very good of him.
-
I do think its probably best not to question another guys work 'photo' on a forum, as rightly so the original poster will become defensive.
I have also spoken to Chris, he has supplied me with various contact numbers which have been usefull, the guys I have spoken to have nothing but praise for him.. apart from the fact he is northern ;D ;D

Today i have high level cleaned 7 schoool kitchens out of 200.

Dirty f**ker
I would be down to the delivery office (or up to it) and have the driver by the throat. He wouldn't crap in a garden again!!!!
Rob ;D
-
He was delivering a shed and when he arrived the customer was out so he went in the back garden, pants down and was "under starters orders" when the lady walked in. I cleaned her whole patio and her wheely bin where he eventually left his deposit ! She did manage a grim when I asked if she had to sign for "the delivery"

not picking or owt but can u pressure wash windows and cause no damage ?
-
You wont damage double glazed windows with a pressure washer if done safely. You wouldn't want to jet it point blank on the seals, mind. But from a safe distance it is fine.
They won't dry clean mind, but to get the worst of the dirt off it is fine, or just a rinse down after pressure washing surfaces nearby.

lee have u converted a gardiner clx to a extending lance how did u do that??
do u have pressure hose up the pole or just a connector at the butt end of pole
-
Alright Richy,
Yes it's a clx 27 with thermoplastic hose. Very light and withstands more than 200 bar and the heat.
-
When the nozzle is angled in the right position I can hold the pole in one hand while it spraying up against an elevation.
-
Yes and he nicked the idea off me ;D ;D hope you shut that window before starting Lee ;D
-
;D
Yeh of course we did! ;)
Cracking pole Trev, I'm in love with it. 8)
-
i snapped one of the sections on mine last week but cant complain as i have had it for about 2 and half years.
-
how does the turbo nozzle attach to it all great idea trev them telescopic lances are heavy arent they

Client sent me both pictures to see if I would be interested in quoting
Its somewhere in London Rob

That wants sand blasting mate.
Chris will be along in a minute to tell you how to do it properly though ;D
Rob ;D
-
My sandblasting days are long over Rob
Used to do a bit when I was 18 - long time ago!
Was half thinking about a Doff or similar type system Vortech
Or something that blast out steam at 150 degrees plus
-
I am probably going to be investing this year.
A decent Ingersoll Rand compressor with decent CFM (250 and above) start around 5/6K, there are plenty of pots & bits & bobs on Ebay though.
Rob ;D
-
Between us We've more kit than work Rob
-
I am still on the recycling set up as well, which would work well with collecting the sand blasting crap. There is a shout on my works for removing white lines and I have another reason for establishing a static operation.
Darren I think the best thing to happen would be if you just gave me all your kit and work and you go and retire to Bulgaria ;D ;D
Rob ;D
-
Darren, have you got your lavor Thermic 17 set up yet
-
Great pictures Rog
The stain just off left centre - down to wear on the original coating and then being weathered?
Rob ;D
-
The slight green looking board? No it's a tanalised timber (european redwood) so unfortunately this can happen, will fade over time but the green will always be there somewhere.
-
Pretty impressive Roger!!
-
Darren,
I would chemically strip that house. when i worked for a company in london we used to strip paint of those houses day in day out. messy job, lots of prep but easily done. if you price to use doff or similar you will price yourself out. lots of companies in london doing this type of work. all done chemically.
-

You dont need me ..you two have figured it out for yourselves and you have all the gear....
As i am still listening and learning from the pro's ....Just a couple of questions tho'
The similarities between the Doff and the Vortech are what?
What do you propose to use to "blast out" 150 an at what sort of flow and pressure?
Would that be celsius or fahrenheit?
Would you use a paint stripper on it?
Do you think there would be much mess? If so would it need to be disposed of specially (Hazardous)?
-
Darren, have you got your lavor Thermic 17 set up yet
Hi Trevor
Paid the deposit and still waiting...............

Monday morning before,

Tuesday lunchtime re-oiled and finished.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v695/oakers/Paving%20photos/Wood/Oiled-1_zpsd3b1cdde.jpg)
what did you use on the decking to clean off the grime ? ............ guessing not a turbo nozzle ?

He won't tell you - its a secret receipe ! He might tell you if you are a window cleaner doing it on the side with kit purchased from Lidl ;D

Rob,
You need to sort out the blog pictures, when you click on a picture in the blog it just takes you to your homepage. You should have it set so that a bigger picture comes up.

Rob....Anybody (well nearly anybody) can blast plastic clean..too reveal the true beauty of a hand crafted piece of fine furniture such as this requires the skills of somebody who is exceptionally focused & driven . I consider myself to be this individual.

It's a £30.00 chair.
That is a very expensive link bridge. Not comparable Mo!!! ;D

And another thing.............................
You can only blast it clean........................... if you can get the work ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice job Richy, what did you use and how did you do it?

I need to get myself a wfp trolley.

All concrete, block paving, all slab walkways, all walls, cladding & guttering, to front & sides & rears - of all units. Three blocks of these done over a couple of nights and the weekend.

One man? and how long?
Rob ;D

4 easy days - which makes a change for the guy in the picture
He's out this morning cleaning some local driveways with one of the other guys
-
I know you only have a little pressure washer ;D but when we use a scissor lift it is rocking all over the place, with the pressure and flow coming off the surface, being cleaned.
I hate using them to work off and feel quite unsafe. I would have had to put a Niftylift on that or I would have been crying
Rob ;D

This was a little warehouse in Dartford that we cleaned last week - inside and out
We had the chance to use our own Access machine outside

Access to get inside was considered getting inside could have been a problem
He's using steam at lower pressure - but I know what you mean - quite crappy to work out of and at least he realises NOT to use a safety harness

Our little cherry picker will be available for hire - in the Southeast.........................
It's up in Manchester today on a little holiday up North

Darran that reminds me of a job we did 5 years ago in Cleckheaton only yours looks like no more than a 2 day job.
All the rafters were caked in dust as it used to be a factory making brake shoes. We washed everything down and had a roadsweeper clean the ground. After we finished the painters went in.

Darren how did you clean the internals if you don't mind me asking? di you use a pressure washer or had scrub with a bucket and tfr or the like?

Lee - That looks like the old Mintex place - my father and brother used to clean all the windows there and blow down the insides once a year!
Most of the dust used to be Asbestos back in the day so I hope you wore full breathing kit, unfortunately in the eighties the team of cleaners were given paper masks only :o
The external of the building took us less than two days pressure washing, but then we restored the powder coated window frames and lots of stainless steel - sun screens which you can't see on the pictures - this took time as we did this by hand, slowly.
-

Vacuum and hand wash with a secret ingredient I've used for years.

Lee
Month of January for us is always a big furniture month, started on the 6th, this year we have 80 odd pieces of Teak in for British Airways, to date 51 chairs totally restored, including repairs returned, this week will be the last of the chairs worked on then the tables start coming thru, few pieces are to big for the workshop so will be done on site. I'll sort out some photos later, all though there are some on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/RAPressureWashingServices
If you have a look like it and I'll like your's :)

That's clean but they ain't Sandstone, concrete pavers, concrete couping stone and wall.

I thought that wall belonged to Hadrian ?

Chris, Roger, sorry got sandstone on the brain . But here is another one
-
Looks good..bet the customer was happy. ;D
Just be careful if you do get a sandstone job..the turbo nozzle will run the risk of damaging/eroding it.
-
Chris, on that job we only had the machine on just over tick over and came up really well. What project are you on at the moment ? Or have you been playing with your mate behind the garden shed again ! Ed
-
Not much on really...just building a new pressure washer got a roof to do and some gutters. Times are hard!
-
Two carpets , then quoted 297sq metres of loading yard, sunderland city centre. degrease/pressure wash. quoted 2 car drive, blocks clean / sand. liase with contracts managers, ongoing........

It's a Suttner ST2600 trigger http://www.washdownsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/High_Pressure_Guns_.html
The lance is just a cheap £15 at 4 foot length I think with a 15055 Nozzle on. The purple cuff you can see is part of the hose branded with Falch. They like to put their name on everything.

Alright Ed, it will get nice and hot if you're running a 15 lpm pump yes but you may need to adjust the fuel pump so you're not burning too much fuel. Personally why get a 500 bar rated for a 250 bar pump?!

-
Thought you would have had that years ago Lee.
Never had enough enquiries really then to clean any. This year we have the possibility of doing some BP's.
-
I only do internal stuff for them, but still have to have ticket.
-
That's strange mate because we do loads on the stores and have never been asked for the ticket.
What did the qualification involve?Can you point me in the right direction for the course?
My insurance covers working on them though

It rained non stop here yesterday.
I went to Cambridge on Thursday, by train. I know we have all seen the images of the flooding (on the telly) but it is nothing to what it looks like in real life.
The train went through some areas and both sides of the track were completely submerged, under what can only be described as a sea of water, for as far as you could see.
I am not speechless very often (not as much chatter as Chris though!!) but I was amazed. I feel sorry for those that have lost their livelihood and homes submerged and are only now getting some assistance.
There will be a hosepipe ban in the summer!!!!!
Rob ;D
-
Rob,
You've been to my place, we had evacuation notices last week, the Thames was only about 200 metres away from my place, that's how bad the Thames is at the moment. After yesterdays rain, most probably risen again. Couple of "villages" were cut off around here.
-
Rog
You're welcome to come up to mine, if you get washed away. We're on the top of the village, on a hill. If we get flooded there won't be a lot left of the rest of the country.
200 metres is a bit scary eh!!
Rob ;D
-
Start a nice cladding job Monday, 3 in one craddle, one on the ground, complete mid wk7

Nice jobs Lee
Showing us all how it's done ;)
Good on ya mate - good to see you busy!

Yes mate nice jobs ;)
Don't you ever get sick and tired of pressure washing though?

Nar, enjoy it. Right from meeting new clients and when the job is won to knowing how good the results will be, it's satisfaction. Especially when a previous 'contractor' has been in the past and not included the gum in the clean, going one better with the right equipment and you're on a winner with the client.
-
How can you ever get fed up of pressure washing. I think you may just be seeing patios?
There is always another job - it looks crap, you make it clean, people are astounded - genuinely.
I know for me it is a real mix of high level, cladding etc, roofs and then all of the low level.
It's a fantastic service to get into, even at a residential level - and as Lee says, right gear makes it a lot easier.
We didn't start with Council and supermarkets ringing us up. We grew into that ;)
Rob ;D

Lee @blastaway.
I was in Manchester on Monday and Tuesday watching a gig at the academy, have you cleaned all the paving from Piccadilly going up to arndale centre?
-
Having the right kit obviously will make jobs easier and customer satisfaction goes without saying. But the actual manual task of doing the job don’t you think at times is mind numbingly boring?
-
Sometimes on a big drive or car park I can get bored, but not often. I tend to fix all the worlds problems in my own head when p/w... Plus headphones helps keep the mind busy.
-
I have spent eleven days working on a roof (on my own), i've done weeks pressure washing various elevations (on my own)
Bit of radio 2 or music on my noise cancelling earphones (yehhh - how many have got them ?) and away I go.
Rob ;D
-
Looks like I'm going to have to get some headphones then ;D

I'm an ear defenders guy too. Just broke my decent pair though. Using my old ones which aren't quite so good

Staring at the floor for a good few hours removing gum can send you a little crazy, thinking up allsorts of things, ideas pop into your head.
-
Don't get bored as such but the job we are on at the moment 80 odd pieces of Teak, full restoration, does get a bit tedious, couple of days stripping & brightening, couple of days sanding & oiling. then start again with the next batch.
Doing repairs to some of the chairs is a change, anyway last 6 pieces to be sanded tomorrow (12 seater tables, heavy and bloody big) should be oiled tomorrow as well, then all completed, started of the 6th January so bit furnitured out !!!!, start a deck wash at the weekend by Tower Bridge which will be nice & cold & wet if the weather forecasts are right!!!!
-
Roger, dont forget your waders ! its hell out here
Got this to clean would you guys just use pressure/heat or any chems to assist ? thanks in advance Ed

Myself I think it is always best to take pics of your own work after all who wants other ppls pics on their site.
-
Really - show us your website.
You'll find that all of my photos are mine and I don't need a lesson when I am joking with someone I have personally known some time.
I'm asking for some help until I have the photos I need and from you I am getting a lesson in business - thanks for that ;)
I'll stick with my way of doing it!
Rob ;D

Rog
You're welcome to come up to mine, if you get washed away. We're on the top of the village, on a hill. If we get flooded there won't be a lot left of the rest of the country.
200 metres is a bit scary eh!!
Rob ;D
Cheers Rob, shouldn't come that though, Thames down here is still high about 3ft over normal height, evac notices have been stood down of now.
Thames now about 6' above normal height, Navy are in a place called Wraysbury about 1 mile away from me helping people vacate in boats, roads etc all gone flooded, end of our road is flooded about 200 yards away from my place again, this is becoming a bit of a pain, but not as bad as some have it luckily.

Finished cleaning unit today using a scissor lift only, must say beats the boom by far, really change my view if at all feasible will opt for lift in the future, few areas tricky but def worth it saved so much time, so much space compared to boom.

Agreed. Plus if its an extendable one you can clean 3 to 4m in one hit without movijg the thing.

Our road now closed, flood water around 100mts away, army were distributing sand bags this afternoon. When I left home this morning it around 06.00 it had already moved around 70-100 mts nearer, just be coming a joke now. We are on evacuation notice again. Sister in-laws place is under about 4' of water.
-
Chris
Is this flooding all your doing?
Easy for us to not be concerned but I genuinely feel sorry, not only for Rog & sister in law but for them all. I think it is easy to blame the environment agency for not dredging but it is very much the same as last year but rain & not snow. Even with dredging I cannot believe it would have stopped it.
Some fella on the news tonight saying that the Thames doesn't need dredging because the rivers flow does it.
Tell that to Rog's family
Rob ;D

Roger, If they are dropping sand bags off.......tell them to fill them up with dried kiln sand .......Will come in handy eh . Ed

Alright fella's, been flat out all weekend.
Saturday night we cleaned this; (It's called The Gateway to Bolton, it's on a one way street heading out of Bolton)

Was supposed to have a 5 hour window on it but it got cut down to 3 hours as someone from Network Rail didn't sort out the right paperwork etc. We struggled in the wind and rain, it was freezing. Gusts blowing back, proper leg trembler! You can't see the inner sides from this angle but the underside you can see caked in algae, those inner sides were pretty much the same. We could have done with another 45 mins to an hour to do 3 more repositions with the platform(ballache)just to finish 5 of the cable rods, all main priority was done and is miles better. Doubt the council with fork out to have us back for the tiny bits left to do, too much messing about, although it was NR's fault.

What sort of cherrypicker was you up in Lee , the winds last night where terrible round here not good for working at height, check your underpants for poo on second thoughts dont bother checking take straight to bin ;D
-
Finished cleaning unit today using a scissor lift only, must say beats the boom by far, really change my view if at all feasible will opt for lift in the future, few areas tricky but def worth it saved so much time, so much space compared to boom.
Agreed. Plus if its an extendable one you can clean 3 to 4m in one hit without movijg the thing.
It was deck size 7x3m ;)
Good luck with the flooding Roger, situation seems to be getting worse, must be a nightmare for those affected, will last for mths.

We've got heavy snow this morning, started about 20 minutes ago!! :o

I have a 960 ltr per min diesel engine powered water pump Roger - if it's of any use let me know - 07766243171 I am in Ashford Kent but have lads working in Slough and Gravesend - tomorrow.
Hope everything works out OK

Why so you can rob me pics? ;D ;D ;D
I do have a sence of humour too but seems a very clicky forum this to say the least although interesting to see what others get upto.
Really - show us your website.
You'll find that all of my photos are mine and I don't need a lesson when I am joking with someone I have personally known some time.
I'm asking for some help until I have the photos I need and from you I am getting a lesson in business - thanks for that ;)
I'll stick with my way of doing it!

We are tight on this section, a lot of that is because we all know each other, do work with each other, pass work around. What you see on the forum is only a very small part of the 'click' that you see.
We get wise a*ses coming on here all the time, wanting this and that, bouncing round the forum, trying to get their post count up, expecting us to pass on established practices and all the answers to the - How do you do this questions.
I'm glad it's a click - tends to keep the k**bheads out of the way. Now you might think I'm aiming that at you but I couldn't be because I have put a smiley at the end of this sentence ;D
Have a good day

Sorry I thought the purpose of this forum was to try helping each other out including lesser mortals like myself but guess you lads are way too important for that so best you just keep patting each other on the back why don't you.
I suggest if you want a private forum for just yourselves I'm sure the site owner can arrange that for you so to so say keep the riffraff out like myself that is just interested to learn from others.
By the way there is no smiley attached to this one.
-
Smurf,
I don't think he meant it offensively.
Don't take this the wrong way mate, but who are you. Your profile gives no website details, no one knows where your based (I don't think). Naturally people can be weary to giving out their own hard fought information to people they don't know and who could potentially be local to them and therefore direct competition.
A lot of guys on here have found cleaning methods and tried different cleaning chemicals at their own expense and on their own time.. People give out free advise on here that has cost them several several severral £s to discover.
-
I have been in the cleaning sector for a while but never have I been on such a bullpoop forum like this one before. No wonder ciu has such a bad reputation and now I can see why.
-
Naturally people can be weary to giving out their own hard fought information to people they don't know and who could potentially be local to them and therefore direct competition.
Agree with what you are saying to a degree, its nice to know who you are talking to, however once you post its there for everyone to see, lurkers and muppets alike plus potentially the local competition. The forum should make everyone show their details full stop, that will never happen.
There is a tendancy, maybe its human nature, once someone makes a negative comment for one to retaliate. I have only just noticed 'Smurf' he added his view to Hedgehog gutter guards, I didn't bother to answer back, he has his view but the 'guard' does have its uses. He has then contributed to another post with usefull details of a ladder stand-off, Some of his other comments I agree with others I dont.
Smurf you need to accept the forum for what it is ..
-
Would I be allowed in the private forum? ;D
-
Smurf I have to disagree mate, i've been on here a couple of years i'd say and i'm not an out and out pressure washer by any means but I've had nothing but help from all these guys. Lee @Blastaway always helping me out and passing work my way, Rob@Mclean has chatted to me in the past and even gave me free equipment!!! Chris gave me advice over the phone when something wouldn't work, he just rung me, i'd never even spoke to the guy.
It works both ways, you give something up, which I always try to do, and you receive stuff back!

Group hug?

It was horrible Trev. We used a Z20. 20m from Smart Platforms. Had call today to do another night on it. 3 hours weren't enough. A lot of downtime in moving around the lift.
-
Lee try Blade Access in Bradford - sometimes easier/quicker to have 34 metre operated lorry mount
We have a little GSR 20 metre - which we use quite a lot - but often hire in bigger kit to make jobs go faster/smoother
-
Thanks for the kind words & offers guys really appreciate it.
Got home yesterday and it has crept a few more metres closer so at the moment it is about 25 metres away, from what I can gather yesterday army were round putting sandbags out but ran out !!! so didn't get any, spent yesterday evening making our own the other problem we have is there is a school field at the back of our place which is now flooding at a very fast rate so if we get the rain they say is coming, then 2 water approaches >:(
-
(http://i61.tinypic.com/bhf4aw.jpg)
Where are you Rog?
Rob ;D
-
spent the morning lining up for sand to be delivered to the end of our road (this was on Sky news) then they run out of sack/bags, (The Sun paid for Jewsons to deliver 2 truck loads with 8 hippo bags on each) Managed to get 2 wheelie bins full and fill whatever bags/sacks etc we could so hopefully secured mine and 2 neighbours house's from the front water, but fields at the back and flooding with surface water now very quickly. Next 24 hours will be the make or break really.
-
Roger , is this the first time it has happened where you live ? Ed
-
Roger thks for lead today, I know we are not that 'nearby' but if it helps and you need to store anything give me a shout.

No problem Mike it should be a good lead as I know the person who put them on to me. Most stuff is in the workshop so should stay dry. Won't work till need week now, as the next 24-48 hours is when the Thames is supposed to peak and really need to be at home just in case.
Photo is the end of our road this afternoon, the car is not moving, it's stuck.

That photo just emphasises how bad this flooding is.
I feel for you Roge, I sincerely hope you don't get flooded and you all stay safe through this.
Im not sure if there is anything I can do to help but if there is I'd be more than happy too.
-
All messing aside my thoughts are with you bud and the poor residents that have already had their properties flooded.
-
Just think how busy you are going to be cleaning up all those drives, and patios when that water recedes ;D

Not really mate, we work on a 6 month lead-in time so couldn't do them even if we wanted to, but saying that if I do get away with not being flooded and I can help the houses that are only 6 doors down etc that are flooded from me, then when they want my time is free to them, as they will have enough to contend with. The other thing in times like these is the lowlifes & cowboys will be out ready to rip-off people who really will just want to get back to normality.

How's it going ? Weather today has been terrible currently suffering with torrential rain plus winds :(, slightly positive note, sounds like the storms are dying out next week if you can believe it.
-
Raining most of the day here again, flood waters seem to be holding there distance from my place at the moment, army have been out all day issuing sandbags along the roads here, there has been a shortage plus they are getting nicked overnight then sold at £8.00 a piece, scum.
The Army, Fire & Rescue service and Police are doing a great job here 24 hours a day.
Police presence over night as well I was told as lotting is now going on :( where people has evacuated.
-
Glad its holding back, my partner mentioned about the looting today, her friends mum's house was looted, bloody disgusting, just mentioned on the news about the sand bags being stolen and re-sold :o

Lee I've always wondered about sign cleaning but that is a touch of class. It's ideas like that why companies stand out above others
-
Well, he'll say I copied him(Alan McTernan)but I had it in my mind for a while and never did anything. ;)
Alan had his local council complain to him saying the sticker was affecting the reflectivity of the sign. Clearly the algae that covered the sign prior to being cleaned for free wasn't affecting it.
-
Lee, while you were there you could of done the wall & fence & Rockery & ...................i'll go get my coat .Ed

Rob,
very nice!
i take it the tiles can cope with the high pressure? Or do you have to reduce it when doing roofs.
Them style jobs are always the best!

Rob, thats a great job. You dont have a template for your RAMS i could use. Yours is got to be more professionally laiid out than mine . I will pay you in kindness . Ed

Rob ;D

-
Both hired in.
Rob ;D
-
Great pictures Rob
-
No profit in it then?
-
There's no money in pressure washing ;)
Rob ;D
-
Why was there only one man on the job? I would of thought 2 at the least.? Would they not pay for two?
-
It's quite a small store. Completely overlooked by residential properties, with more than one complainer so it was decided that to keep noise to as minimum as possible we would work out of one basket.
This has been a problem in the past with me being 120 kgs, hose drag (as it weighs off the basket, when elevated) so the basket is overweight with more than one operator and tilts out.
I have got a second machine coming down for Monday because we are on the car park side and I have some work reachable by a 60 footer and a roof below it for the 45 footer.
It seems that the noise is not as big a problem as they expected but mainly basket weight!
Rob ;D
-
Your RAMS let you operate alone at height? What if you need a poo or a wee...who looks after the gear? Who makes the coffee and goes to the shop for cake?
-
My RAMS cover all eventualities and working alone because there is a section in them about regularly checking in with site management if we are on our own.
I don't wee Chris, I don't poo - my body reuses all waste to infinitum.
The cameras on the store look after my van if I have to go up to the cafe, for breakfast.
I tend to get done anything low level setup, go and eat etc and then out come the hoses and I am up in the air till I finish for the day.
I love cleaning roofs
Do you love pressure washing Chris?
Rob ;D
-
For those that see the fact that I don't come down but have something about checking in with site management, most of the time that can be a thumbs up as they regularly patrol sites and the PM on this one was working on some fascia boards just over the roof.
Rob ;D
-
Know that part of Kingston well Rob, very tight area space wise to work in, right along side the main road into the town centre. Was working just up the road from you on Tuesday, Surbiton
Hope you are keeping well :)
-
I did do some pressure washing about three weeks ago...it was fun.The fuse kept blowing in the plug tho' that was a pain.
I find it hard to believe you are allowed to work alone...I would of told them to stick there job. What if a hose burst or something? or
The lift thingy cut out and you are stuck in the sky...you could catch a chill if you were up there all night.
-
Rog
If you're coming past next week i'll get you a coffee, be good to have a chat
Chris
RAMS cover what happens if I am knocked unconscious, if I need assistance to come down, if I am dangling conscious or unconscious from the basket.
It is daytime works and I am burnt, it is boiling down here, been in t shirt all week but then I am a manly man, no Louie Spence here ;)
If you knew the ticket value you definitely would not have told them to stick it ;D
Rob ;D
-
Another reason for working one man in the basket is the split flow.
Two men do not necessarily mean you will do twice the work
2 x 17LPM or 1 x 35LPM - Give me 35LPM any day of the week and I will show you how fast something can be cleaned!
Rob ;D
-
Rob,
In Central London for the early part of next week, plus I start on Gates's decking so have no free time, but in East Sheen Thursday, you still down here then? as it's just up the road.
-
I would still want my friend there to hold my hand if I was doing that sort of work.
I would be interested to see Your"Rams" that show me how to deal with a unconscious 120kg male 40ft up in a basket . Working within feet of the general public with a 35 lpm 3000 psi pressure washer running....if I am not onsite....and the paperwork is in a locked van . ;D
No wonder I am not cut out for this work.
-
Possibly will be.
Can't work Good Friday or over Easter weekend so either Wednesday or Thursday finish but I am back to finish the store entrance road roof on the Tuesday after Easter, hopefully one day and bish bosh.
I'll ring you next week when I know.
Rob ;D
-
Chris
The MEWP won't move if I am unconscious, unless I keel over with my foot on the pedal and I am still holding onto the joy stick - that probably isn't going to happen.
The RAMS are read, signed and agreed by all parties, with a copy held in the site office and a copy in my works vehicle.
The pressure washer similarly won't continue to pump out water if my hand is not pressing the trigger. I tend not to drive the MEWP and pressure wash at the same time.
It's not the wild west ;D
Rob ;D

"that probably isn't going to happen" That reassuring.
Still a bit of a risk working alone ...don't you think? Why did you not just take somebody with you to hold your hand?
-
No prob Rog
Chris
There is working alone or there is working with another MEWP within five metres of where I am working.
The principal contractor has read the RAMS, my client has passed the RAMS, my client is working next to where I am working and when he wasn't he was watching me working.
I make decisions to handle the works within the boundaries available, two could not go in the basket, someone else is working nearby and apart from a period working directly over the road (that was watched) I am now within the service yard boundaries, with barriers.
Next week I have assistance but I am glad of your concerns for me.
I don't hold hands with anyone other than my wife Chris.
Do you want to hold my hand?
Rob ;D

2000sq/m cladding, canopy and window clean, done in a single day.
Used one of the few HR28s out there, and what a nice machine to use, such a large basket, you can cover a larger area without moving so often.
-
What's the basket weight on that one?
Nice job and decent m2.
Rob ;D
-
280kg, so was borderline when I was in it.
Had some issues with the extractor vents, needed some elbow grease.
-
That's the problem I have when i'm working with someone else. I always blame them though, for being too heavy.
It looks like it has a cracking outreach
Rob ;D
-
Just the 19m!
http://www.niftylift.com/uk/products/cherry-picker/self-propelled/hr28-hybrid
-
That is a lovely machine, great spec.
It doesn't matter how big the footprint & weight of a machine is when you're 20 metres away from the centre turning point it still feels like it's going to tip over with the slightest movement.
Thanks for that
Rob ;D
-
The worst I've experienced was a Hinara 21m spider, that was simply terrifying at maximum elevation and outreach. Genuinely feared for my life on that thing.
My most experienced guy hated it also, at one point he got out of he basket and sat on a ledge, pleading with me to move the machine so it was more stable, but we couldn't.
I think these things are great, if treated with respect.

MEWP brought in to gt us across two roofs to complete a section today. This is a 135 - not big enough!!!!
This is the biggest machine I have ever seen and used, 22 tonnes and telescopic axles that made a 30 foot footprint when all the way out. Absolutely enormous piece of kit but completely useless.
You can just see the darker area we were trying to get to in the last picture. What we gained on the outreach was swallowed up by the footprint. Bigger is not necessarily always better.
Rob ;D
-
Today we looked at our whole ethos on difficult access issues. The reduced footprint to combined height ratio trebled .

You must be carrying a bit of timber Christopher because the top crate looks like it has been under stress, a little bowed ;)
Also - Is that your reefa in front of the crates?
Rob ;D

The bowing resulted as the crates were loaded to the max....it was a two man job.
No it's not my "reefa" (how sixties ;D) I only smoke stuff from tin foil .

Yours looks to be a basic set up, more cost effective and I would suspect that there is nominal delivery & collection charges.
Clearly an all round simple solution to achieve your goal - unlike ours that was a complete waste of everyones time, apart from the hire company, who were only ever going to gain!!!
I am a product of the swinging sixties, in sunny Barnsley, eee ba gum!!

Rob ;D
Yes it is delivered to site by an eco friendly carbon neutral electric vehicle ( with specialist operator). The only downside is delivery can only be arranged between the hours of 4/5 am. Monday to Friday . Invoicing for the said hire period usually take place the following friday around 5.00pm ..with the operator demanding payment on your door step.

Love to see your H&S docs on that "tower" Chris LOL

Couple of photos from this weeks work so far, deck in central London not been cleaned for around 5 years,

Nice !
Is that North Eastern Congo pallet wood...lightened with H2C2O4 and treated with Ronandave seal easy flake Multi purpose one coat ,quick dry, short term wood protector ?
Good stuff we use it all the time as it's waterbased and we can slap it directly after pressure washing ...

That might be how they teach you on the "Smartarse" intensive one day course's they hold, but this was done just a little differently.
-
Roger, deck looks very nice.
I have been reading your other threads about using deck-prep and net-trol, do you do this process BEFORE pressure washing the deck? Or do you just use these chemicals without pressure washing?
Also do u mind me asking what oils you use?
Many thanks
-
Prep-Deck is a stripper so used to remove stains, oils etc.
Net-Trol is a brighten used after the Prep-Deck, it can be used as a cleaner if you wanted, you adjust the dilution rates etc. If using Prep-Deck you HAVE to use the Net-Trol or similar to neutralise the wood.
For both the above, they are used as part of the cleaning or stripping process so a pressure washer is still used.
The brand of oils we use is Colourtrend.
-
Roger,
appreciate the response, many thanks.
so are you applying chemicals, allow wait time and then pressure washing afterwards? Or are you pressure washing first and then applying chemicals?
-
Pre-wet the surface first, apply chemicals, allow to dwell then (dwell time will depend on what you are using) then pressure wash off, then do a heavy rinse so that everything is washed away.
-
Roger many thanks for your help.
have a nice weekend :)

Great work and love looking through some of your work everyone! I have attached my job of the day!

Rob ;D
Rob, was that the same type of genie that went over last year nr London cus of faulty software allowing it to go beyond it's outreach ? Pretty sure that was a 135, Jon
-
That's quite interesting because the guy who was dropping it off told us the story.
The engineer was either fixing it/servicing it in their yard or on a job and it did have a fault and tipped, flinging him into the roundabout and oncoming traffic.
The guy died what must have been (for a very brief moment) a horrible death. The family have not been paid out yet, which just adds to it.
The delivery guy told us this and then left us to it.
I said to my guy - up you go then!
Rob ;D
-
From what we were told by a ipaf instructor the machine was only a week old and was being looked over by the engineer and the newer machines don't have limit switches but it's ran by software and that was dodgy letting it go beyond its outreach.
The machine was up at his full height when it went over, 29 year old father of two :(
Think it's still waiting to go to court ect.
-
Matt took the machine to full elevation on the main arm but bottled it on the outreach as well so he lowered the main arm before he took it out to see if it reached :o
He's a big girls blouse ;D
Ended up having a right job pushing an adapted golf trolley, turbo nozzle contraption up 8 metres of roof, in the rain to pressure wash the final face of a roof, finished at six and got home for ten last night.
Arms are knackered today!

Lol at the bottling bit, I don't mind the 45 metre machines when you've got a big lorry mount underneath you, but looking at the size of that mewps base ect at 135 foot up will make your legs go :) bit like the big spiders.
Anytime you Finnish with your golf trolley give me a shout my power caddys just broke :)

Lee not used much Hypo and certainly did not fancy spraying it at 4 stories up with people's cars below etc when I am not experienced enough to know better. Would have been great to had an even closer to perfect finish but the property factors were happy thankfully! Great seeing all your work, some amazing jobs/results!
Also thanks for your nice comment rob! All the very best to you and hope your keeping busy!
Cheers lads

Lee how long it take you to do that tennis court?
9am-1pm last bank hol monday then 9am-4pm the following day and jumped on the wet pour on the Wednesday.
Obviously not as much moss in the inner but still moss there to come out and also the green paint was coming up. It's been down for 7 years. Told them this would happen in the clean and asked if they have plans to re-paint it all, they haven't but didn't mind the loose paint coming up with the moss. After pics wouldn't have been anything to be show off, they just had safety at mind. The lines were fine under pressure, it was just the green that was a poorer quality of paint.
-
Lee, why did they only want that section of the wall cleaning & pointing ? Ed

Started cleaning it and the paint started coming off - fair enough. I'll just take the paint off as well as it is being repainted. Big mistake!
(http://i61.tinypic.com/1ik3kx.jpg)
Took twice as long and there was paint on everything else but I think you will agree they are going to be surprised on Monday morning.

Me - 'Well - just what I do'

And before the eagle eyed start - there was paint on the fire escape that wouldn't come off and no they did not want to pay for a picker so it was all done from the ground ;)

Simon how did you get them pictures from so high up mate?
The site manager came over and was well impressed with the way it was cleaning up and said he was on the roof looking down and the difference was amazing. So I said can I go up and take a couple of photos!
Also just had an email copied to me from the site manager from one of the tennants, asking who were the contractors that carried out the work can I have there details I have some work I can pass there way.
Just go to show you never know who is watching!

Thanks jettaway - i didnt actually use any hypo however i think to get a perfect result on the top one some hypo would have to be used as theres a couple of black spots still there.
Andy, good luck mate! Remember your wellys and waterproof trousers. I didnt and came home soaked - its a yanmar diesel 15lpm 200bar. I purchased it off Rob it was one of the 3 he had for sale.

Hi mate yep looks pretty much identical in terms of spec.
I used a 21" mosmatic to get the bulk of it off then went over with a lance. Using a lance alone would of produced the exact same result but would of taken a bit longer.

That's some good work Smudger, how much product did you go through?
Did you wash off with pressure or just use the flow from a pressure washer?
-
How did you get algo clear to foam?
Rob that's the picture I wanted to post, I cleaned inside the box, didn't go over the lines either :)
-
I made it slightly stronger than directed ie. 30 to 1 instead of 40 to 1
Yes we still had to pressure wash off using vario nozzle on quite a wide angle, it all came off without any hassle, although the chimneys were awkward as the telescopic lance was rubbish ::)roll
I not sure if using the algoclear made it easier to remove or not ( lack of experience ) but the builder specified a fungicidal wash, so that's what he got.
1 hour to apply, and it took 4 hours to wash down

Isn't it supposed to foam ??? Used brand new back pack, so no chance of any g101 residue from previous work..
Sorry jet away I used about 1.5 litres of algoclear
Darran
-
Was it the algoclear pro. Did it remove a lot of the algae on its own or did that take a bit of work with the lance afterwards?
-
Yes was the pro version
No didn't take any off, but it was a quick brush on, yes it came off (all of it) with a single pass of the lance

For the eagle eyed there are some marks on the dividing blocks, halfway up the bottom picture. This isn't 'chong' - it's a resin that they use for the bollards.
It's like Lee 'hard as nails'
Rob ;D
-
Did you use hypo on those slabs or just high pressure?
-
I try to steer away from chemicals because there is enough paperwork as it is and I seldom need to.
I'm like 'Dynamo' of the pressure washing world.

See if they want the roof cleaning and we'll come up and do it for you. Whack £100 on for yourself.

Blast away what would you expect to get for a roof like that?

You'll spoil the newly cleaned conservatory though Lee!

Blast away- with you clean ads, do you supply us with the template.?

I'm guessing there's some dormers on the front of the house which adds to the times. I'd want £1k to clean that roof.

Then he can re-do it again. ;)

You advertise clean ads- just wondering if you supplynthe temolates for us to use for reverse graffiti?

Did you have a harness on?
-
No I was on the ground !
But yes my guys wear harnesses
Darran
-
Harness not really for this type of machine anyway as there is no potential catapult effect as machine is static
-
That's my kind of way of cleaning a roof ;D did you manage to get the back ok? was there access around?
-
Customer only wanted to have the one one side cleaned, no moss just algae
This is only my second roof job and both only wanted one side done - strange.

David, that lance bend is hilarious! ;D
Tell me about it lee lol. I bought the extra long lance from my local pressure washing repair shop and I asked if he had one with an angled end which he answered yes I can sort that for you then suddenly it was in a vice and bent like that. Works fine but looks crap. Will be ordering stuff from q washer from now on I think. Those graffiti picks ! Was it the sosafe stuff used?

loads of roof cleaning jobs Darran nice!
Do you own that trailer mount? And do you find it is big enough for most jobs?
Regards

I wish !!
That's the niftylift 170' we had no rear access but it could get over the ridge tiles so could clean the rear.
Yes so far it's been able to do everything we require

Some great work there Darren, if I can ask do you use anything on the oil stain ie resiblock OR or maybe 0T8? Also when the drives have weeds in like it looked like on a couple of those drive cleans do you use any pre weed killer as such? Also do you ever use hypo on a block paved drive clean. Thanks
-
Thx !!
The oil was removed with ot8 it's never let me down yet
No I never pre treat drives but I always turbo nozzle than FSC to get the roots out, yes I hypo afterwards if the area had lots of moss, algae or lichen.
On the roof I pre treated with algoclear at the back to help start the process 10 days before cleaning applied with scrubbing brush converted for WFP - we also applied another treatment after cleaning

I see so a telescopic lance once your over the ridge.

Great job, looks more professional doing it from a cherry picker.

Yes because they were linked detached and no access.
Great fun on a cherry picker as well!!

Cheers Darren
The reason why i asked about the Hypo on block driveway was because when cleaning a drive the other day a gentleman got chatting to me and said every march he spays his block driveway with hypo 3:1 mix leaves it 25 mins then washes of. Says it takes him 1 hour tops for 100sq drive. He did point out he has no weeds so no need for the turbo nozzle but he believes the hypo helps keep the weeds at bay. Makes sense i suppose. His sand loss is minimal this way he says.
-
I would say that works,
Been past a few jobs I did late last year and all are still weed free

Are you towing a bowser in one of the last photos Lee?
Looks that way doesn't it mate ;D No, there's no water on this end of the building so we've had a tractor bring us the bowser with I think 10,000 Litres.
Van was just parked in front.

Hippy types, who were against the use of chem's, but they were happy with the job, I would of preferred it to have been better.

I would have just used them anyway 😛😝😜
If the customer is happy that's what counts, even if it's not upto your own standards.

Darren some great results there pal. If I can ask mate the last picture with the fance panel and wall did you use hypo? It looks like new. Top job
-
Thx.
Yes I used hypo on the caps, just to get that extra clean look and I used it on the panels to kill the algae after washing down with a 15 degree nozzle. The wall was just full blast turbo

Nice!

Not knockin' ya, I'm sure they all came up good but you've shown us 2 different coping stones in your before and after. ;D

Yes because I wasn't prepared to climb back over the fence and thread myself between the now turned on electric horse fence 😖

Nice work Roger, was that just a p/w clean or clean,polish and seal ?
See that's what laziness gets you, a piccy of a not quite so perfect finish, but I thought it good enough for you guys!
I'll try to get the exact same one when I re sand :P
Darran
-
Not knocking you Darren, I just have an eye for detail.
Re the Sandstone photos, cleaned, then hypo, long dwell time due to the amount of lichen, cleaned off again and that was it. The after photo is the next morning, so surface is dry and that's how good the paving looked, not just from the clean but decent Sandstone, even though it is bit busy pattern wise.
-
No problems Rodger, I know some like to tease, I'm not offended in any way
Ref the sandstone, I was led to believe you couldn't use hypo on sandstone ? Is their a criteria/guidelines for using hypo on sandstone?
Darran
-
You can use hypo on sandstone, like you can use it on any other hard surface. It wont affect the sandstone. Just use the same hypo rules regarding run off/plantlife etc..
-
Cheers Matt,
Read somewhere that hypo could turn it orange 😵😵
Well if not that makes life easier 😎
Darran
-
It turns lead orange
-
As Matt has said it's fine to use on Sandstone, just don't use Hydrochloric acid (Brick Acid) on Sandstone or any natural stone for that matter. In fact before you use an Acid check to see if the stone will take the use of X acid, some do some don't. Alkaline's are usually fine though.
-
Ahhhhh, perhaps I got confused between the 2
Darran
-
It turns lead orange
How do you turn lead back to lead colour if it changes colour?
Ive had problems with hypo/acid staining the lead before and i think i read something on here about a chem that will change it back.
EDIT: hypo has only changed the colour of lead once for me.

Citric Acid will reverse the staining but you have to be quick, Ox would most probably do the same.
When I say quick I mean with-in 10 min of the stain happening.
-
Cheers roger. So, there is nothing out there that will rectify it if its already happened? Have problems when cleaning bricks. The acid stains the lead. Only option ive found is to paint it but never lasts long. Thought there might be something out there to take the acid tarnish off.

Unfortunately it does stain mate, we've all done it at some point, but you could do no worse then get some Net-Rol it's what we use to brighten decking, and is citric based, I don't know what size containers it comes in, (as in smaller sizes) as I buy the 15lt tubs, I think they might do a 1lt size though but not sure. Old stains are hard to shift as the hypo has had time to set/eat the face of the lead. If you are working with loads of lead, maybe mask/cover with polythene or similar ? prior to working.
-
Yeah, its not a common occurence but has happened and probably will again. Always good to know how to rectify it. Cheers mate.

Lee what nozzles are they for gum on tarmac? It's a slow process on tarmac removing gum cos the heat can melt the tar if wrong nozzles used. It looks a great nozzle but slower cleaning time. Probably the only nozzle you could use on tarmac?

In the video is a 15055 at 100 bar. We've melted a few spots away on this school but they were aware beforehand. This tarmac in the video was the stronger parts of the school, other areas were ridiculously soft, as Lee Kenny found today blasting hole big enough for his to stand in. 8) ;D ;D ;D

Thanks mate. Always good to have something different.

Looks from the photos like Limestone? what did you use to seal?
-
I thought it was slate? I used ultra hd natural stone from sealers direct, very impressed with it and going to try there block paving sealer next.
-

The job looks really impressive. A real transformation!
We use impregnating sealers when we seal limestones and sandstones ...over time we think they last longer and course less problems than high solid sealers. If you are getting into sealers maybe it's something you should look at.
Just something we have picked upon after trying different products on different surfaces.
-

I might be wrong but that don't look like Slate to me, maybe Kevin Martin might correct me.
So you sealed a stone with only "thinking" it was a certain stone?
Just looked what you used, A surface sealer on what looks like a natural stone….
-
How could I identify it? the customer didn't know what it was and I used a natural stone sealer as it is natural stone which gave the desired wet look that the customer wanted.
I'm happy and my customer is delighted with the results.

Cheers Chris, what sealer would you recommend for block paving? As I have always avoided sealing up to now but after seeing the results I want to start pushing it more.

May be some Research into different surfaces? but if your customer is happy then I guess that's what counts?

Looks defo like limestone

I would leave sealing block alone till next year...it takes 3/4 days of sunshine to dry out block enough to seal. Those days will now be few and far between.

How long did that take you? Did you just turbo nozzles the lot or did you Fsc first then went over with turbo nozzle? Jamie

Turbo nozzle
3.5 hrs - good water flow on site even at full power the tank was filling faster than we could use it
Darran

Darren
Good job there. I would have had to just take care of that 1st metre of wall and that sill.
Rob ;D
-
I did try rob honest ! Always like to go that little bit extra, but unfortunately I don't know what the black is, I tried hypo but as you can see it didn't really shift it, this is a converted school built in 1877 and unfortunately the brick is really soft and the window surround/sill is virtually crumbling away it has areas of errosion ( big flaked areas 3 to 4 mm deep ) and didn't feel confident that I could clean it up without further damage.. :(
But I'll try harder next time ;D
Darran
-
No mate
It wasn't like that.
It looks like it's in really good order from that picture and if i'm honest I thought it was a newer building made to look older than it is.
That discolouration is coming off the sill so it must be something to do with the sandstone.
Rob ;D
-
The discolouration might be that at some point there was metal window frames? so years of oxidisation from those maybe?
-
That front one looks like it still is mate. So probably the paintwork has been in disrepair, caused the problem and then it has been repainted but too late for not marking the stone.
Added - Darren I didn't see the loose stone underneath the brickwork but that is holding water and drawing up the brickwork as well and I would suspect that that side of the building doesn't get the main sunlight.
The fact that they have painted two cricket stumps on the wall tells me they don't see the value of the building. Just read some interesting articles on cause and effect of damage to stone that are a little bit bigger than the obvious.
Rob ;D
-
Rob, your correct on both counts the metal windows are still in ( this is the case on all the original parts of the school ) and the front North East facing.
Any links to the cause and effect ? Or are they old fashioned print articles
Darran
-
very easy to remove that staining the only trouble being is that the rest of the building would then look dirty as the area cleaned would be brighter than the rest
-
Need a better pictures really BUT AT A guess Carbonation of sandstone followed by freeze thaw.
Can be cleaned with caustic liquor ,neutralised with an acidic wash.
The wrong thing to do would be to clean it with a pressure washer... the glass has acted as a catchment area and caused the problem.

It won't be the last as the truck drivers are often ped, have tv on the dash and could'nt drive a greasy stick up a pigs bottom. I always leave my van so they cant run me over. That was a Pole driving over a Bulgarian.

Caustic liquor to soften the carbonation of the sandstone and burn the skin . Followed by Phosphoric acid mixed with Hydrofluoric acid and a little splash of glycolic Acid . Then washed in DIDECYLDIMETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE.

Next you'll be saying so are the roof slates that you've burnt. ;D

Roofs coming off ,then we are back to clean it.
Burnt/damaged slates ? We have not damaged the lead (which is to come off) so it's hardly likely we have damaged the slate.

Did not have any caustic or hydrofluoric to remove the carbonation. They are getting reduced and capped as they are knackered anyway.
Did not go onto the roof …it was all done by helicopter with a big nozzle.

Hi there..from the cc section...what's this hypo stuff that gets mentioned....could do with some to get moss off drive wall....looks like it does it well.
-
And while we are at it what about engine oil from van on tarmac,,,any ideas??

You'd be better off asking these questions on the window cleaning section mate, as all pressure washers are monkey's apparently as they seem to be the people in the know for technical staff.

Any biological washing machine powder…use dry on a wet stain . Make into a thick paste for a dry stain..keep applying till it goes. Remember Tarmac is oil based..so keep an eye on the washing powder for softening the Tarmac. The enzymes in it "eat" the stain.
-
J I wouldnt take it to heart mate, it's the same as every section, if you ask on the CC sections how to use Sod Met you'll get told to do training and it's too dangerous etc.
Same on windows, same on hard floors.
Hypo isn't something to be messed around with hence the replies, and something people have put time and effort into researching the best and safest ways to use it.
I think the question has started to pop up over and over again and becomes tiring for some.
However it isn't rocket science and general precautions and sensibility will see you ok, but research first.
You won't need it for a moss covered wall, it's not necessary, it's also called Sodium Hypochlorite.
Rob, you're shying out on the walking, think your legs have gone ;)
Chris, I gathered that but the roof is nackered, hence my question, does it not cause further damage, especially if walked up on?
-
Yep ..walking roofs you will always damage some tiles. I price for replacing some…sometimes the moss "hides" broken and cracked ones. That roof is Knackered.
-
Cheers for that I know what it's like on here... ;D

In the last few weeks I added pressure washing to my core window cleaning services. Been very busy with it. Pics are above 3mb so can be viewed on FB (nats cleaning services )
The reason for adding PW services was actually down to this amazing forum and the wealth of information that it contains, so a big thank you to you all.

No, been introduced to something better ;D
I'm now using A8 tfr - it's a non caustic cleaner with wax.
Brill with a snow foam or applied via a pump sprayer or backpack, it's really getting into the grime and on the vans is removing those stubborn black streaks, with a quick rinse to finish for a nice shine
G101 tends to leave a dull finish, hence the changeover

Cheers pal may give it a try just want to try and avoid the £20 delivery charge for 25 litres. What strength do you use it at pal and how long do you leave it before you rinse it off?
-
They do sell it in 5ltr bottles, unfortunately hugh crane are not known for being cheap with postage, :'(
General cleaning of s/f/g, cladding and conny's I use at 3% strength ( .5 ltr per 16 ltr backpack )
By the time I've sprayed a run of gutter or a roof it's ready to clean, so no wait time as such

No, just apply then wash

Hi Darran, hope you don't me sharing but when using A8 tfr you have to be very careful with the dilution rates and dwell times as it contains sodium hydroxide which is a really corrosive ingredient, i agree that its a great cleaner but is very similar to G101 and has to be used with extreme caution, i would also agree with Chris Scott and don't let A8 tfr anywhere near aluminum surfaces as it will chemically burn and corrode soft metal surfaces. Just to follow on Darran talk to Chris Scott as he has a product called WVD 100 which is far safer and very effective for deep cleaning metal surfaces.
-
Is A8 non caustic?
No …it's quite high in caustic .
-
No problem tadgh
As you know always looking for better chess to use,
Darran

It just shows that people will use anything without thinking about what damage it may cause.
If we use our three step products on Caravans etc - it will restore the faded surface to "like" new condition and protect further with our Hydrophobic coating.
It needs to be applied by hand - and takes time - but it is excellent.
Unfortunately we are not geared up to retail it ???

Darren, Have you been hanging around in those woods again with your big nozzle hanging out ?
Nothing exciting this week , on the glass , gutters, drives and fire escapes

Hi Rob
How do you get on with that Gardiner back pack ? are you using Hypo in it ? they didn't last long when i had one. the pump goes quick.
-
So far so good but I always run loads of water through it afterwards.
-
But when it does go I'll just get another pump as there only twenty odd quid and still a damm site cheaper than building a dedicated softwash system but I will get an x jet soon.
-
One day i will clean my messy carpet? ???

Heres one from earlier this week

-
Lawsuit waiting to happen over here but standard practice throughout europe, it's not safe or sensible to dodge health and safety regs.
-
Normal working practice doesn’t mean it's a safe working practice that's for sure.
At least it's a learning curve for some not to fall foul of working height regs etc as if anyone had fallen off that roof or through one of those skylights I dread to think what would have happed. Some firms have been reported to HSE by concerned passers by too and been taken to court and fined heavily for their unsafe working practises.
I know it's tempting to cut corners to remain compeditive on price and some think H&S is bullpoope but that is how bad things can happen and sadly do every year.
-
Thats why we have so much health and safety now …because of firms like this.

Don't you find that double lance a bit heavy after working a few hours ?
-
No the pressure keeps it up ;D
I did try having a ball valve on the end of the hose but that got really heavy after awhile. These twin lances are great as you can adjust the pressure on the go, I'm going to put longer straight pipes on it and swap it to left handed then it should be perfect.

Had no choice but to make a start will be on it everyday now til 5pm Monday
Oh ye ......... I used vision and that's just the first clean will go over it an rinse all again quickly at end of each stand.

Eco friendly bacterial detergent then soft wash

I don't get it. It's possibly me being thick …but could you explain the process and the chemical used? Thanks

Smudge you are now king of this section now all ya fancy lifts and ya big jobs ;D . . . . I look up to you :)
-
Samson - not at all, just love the thread it would be great to see other stuff on here, I am merely keeping it ticking over....
The process is to research and buy a chemical, apply it as per instructions then clean it off, just like you and rhino man do ;)
Darran
-
"Eco friendly bacterial detergent then soft wash"
Desmococcus olivaceus (green Algae) is not a bacteria…why use a anti bacterial liquid ?
Why use a detergent on algae it is not a "dirt"?
"Soft washing" is the application of chemicals by low pressure….. Why use a chemical to remove a chemical ?
What was wrong with "pressure washing" the wall and then using a biocide afterwards?

Sorry my definition of soft washing is low pressure cleaning - I bow to your extensive knowledge and experience as shown on your website ;)

I genuinly like Smudge and if he is doing something not quite right, then why not just point it out and we can all learn ?

Well said,
The forum would be a better place if those with experience and knowledge partook in threads with advice...
Alas, those in the "know" would rather nit pick and ruffle up their self important feathers than, heaven forbid contribute and actually post information :(
Darran
-
I ain't holding back info. The brick work I would have pressure washed and applied a biocide. The render I need to know a little more about the stain before I would comment.
"Eco friendly bacterial detergent then soft wash" …what is it and who sold it you ?
-
Trade secrets spring to mind or everyone will know how it's done ;D
-
I have cleaned a bit of render.I just want to know why it was done this way it does not make sense . Nobody seems to be able to give me a rational explanation why this method/product was used.
But saying that I am always really interested in new methods. It's how we progress. I have been wrong many times before.
It's mainly the "Eco friendly bacterial detergent" I am not comfortable with ….maybe a dodgy supplier? It sounds like labelling for Fairy liquid. Kills germs and breaks down grease on dishes.
Can you send me the MSDS sheet for the product?
-
Chris - I would have sent my lads to do it ;D
We seem to be mainly using Hypo and the Doff - which really seems to get brilliant results
We get our third Doff next week.......
-
3rd DOff impressive ... You have too much money.Maybe you should run a cleaning coarse for all us lot who struggle daily to make a living? Then we would not be subject to being sold dodgy products and we would have "clarity" in the teqniques used.
-
Business finance springs to mind as not many pays cash thesedays when running a fleet of vans.

Business finance springs to mind as not many pays cash thesedays when running a fleet of vans.

Never tried it on tyre marks
150 degrees C would work well on your boxers especially if you were wearing them at the time

Would a doff cleaner remove rubber tyre marks from kerbs no matter how old or bad
A JOSS/TORC systems system would probably work better than just superheated water to try removing tyre marks on kirb stones.

Just spray them with Miracle Epoxy Grout Film Remover, wait 10 minutes and pressure wash it off as normal

Would a doff cleaner remove rubber tyre marks from kerbs no matter how old or bad
Hi Matty, a simple solution is a bucket of water and a stainless steel scouring pad, its best to use 40grm or 60grm s/s pads for this application, just dip the s/s scouring pad into the water and proceed to scrub the tyre marks which will completely disappear from the kerb, these scouring pads are more effective than using a 3000psi hot pressure washer in solving your problem.

Interesting picture Chris
Is there a story to go with it ?
Darran

Great job Chris, looks like a test patch take it you got the job?
-
Just a test at the moment with an offer to quote.

You'll get it.
It won't let me upload pic's but this week I have mainly soft washed a big roof, done a oil spillage clean at a police station, pressure washed a roof, two driveways, three patios and still got tomorrow and Saturday to go.

Chris,
I have stopped sharing my knowledge on the forum but as you sent me a boatload of photos on this project and you posted it on here I came up with the following! I did a little more research and as such assumed what we are looking at here are 6" square earthenware relief moulded tiles below the dado rails, also in 6" sections. These were popular in the period 1870-1910 ish. The glaze is frequently referred to as 'majolica' as they have a copper tinted lead based finish. Before you consider proceeding is that whilst the decoration is enhanced by the pooling of the glaze it is relatively 'soft' and particularly prone to crazing. There would have been initially barely discernible fissures in the surface of the tiles since the day these left the factory rather like the hidden fissures in poilseed porcelain today. The wall surface has clearly been painted over time after time with coats of whitewash or more recently with a water based polymer. Consequently the bone dry earthenware interior will have sucked the paint into the crazing which is what appears to have happened in the photo if you look at the dado border. So whilst the surface paint would be relatively easy to remove the resultant white 'veining' would be rather more of a challenge. Furthermore, as I mentioned to you yesterday, I can only speculate in respect of the damage to the tiles disguised by the paint. Craven Dunhill do an excellent job on repro tiles and reproducing encaustics but my view is that these tiles would be impossible to replicate - not least because the hazards of using lead glazes were known as early as the 1890s being replaced by lead 'frits' by 1913. What a fantastic project this would be to win - but, nonetheless, like anything else worth doing, lots of hidden difficulties.

Duly noted….I have quoted to " remove the paint' to this (test patch) standard whilst wearing a short mini skirt. Any hazing ,cracks,repairs are down to them. The test patch will be agreed on by all concerned and the "sealed up" and untouched till the end of the project. I have also suggested the one complete stair well is stripped to give a true indication of the amount of "damage"
As you know sometimes thing look a hundred times worse cleaned.

Nice job smudger...right tools for the job and all that ;)
I take it you done the house roof the same way with a spinner on a pole after applying hypo as the porch?
I'm just guessing that you used hypo as from experience moss tends to turn more or less instantly white when used ;D

Nice Job.
Where are you getting this type of work from….are you "buying it in" Check a trade etc ? Why did you spray it with bleach first?
-
My work comes in from website,being local ( around here very few invest in having a van - never mind sign writing ) for personal reccomendations
My concern was that this roof is old, and heavily mossed - from my experience it's a real pig to remove without cranking up the power this I felt could lead to further damage to the tiles - you can see in one picture a huge clump of grass - the bleach was applied in an attempt to kill the moss and "shrivel" it to aid removal, it pretty much had that effect

Sadly took longer than i wanted, esp when my pump gave out n had to wait a day for a replacement. Then because of how good it looked, she kept adding to the things to be cleaned, ie the fountain, some stone pots and origionally just tidying any splash ups on the rendering to actually cleaning the whole rendering.

People under estimate quite how well things clean.
When I started 5 years ago I offered pressure washing but only had a little 4litres per minute machine and quickly got fed up of cleaning 1 drive per day.
Now I have a great set up from Rutland pumps, cost about £1700 all in.
Then I since bought a little box trailer etc to save me lifting everything out, but the difference is unreal.
I can now clean 3/4 drives a day (based on 2/3 car drives.

we did our first full exterior clean yesturday, everything......drive, paths, facia/soffits & conservatory plus roof.
I think it was a good idea to buy the scaffold rig it made the roof easier and the F&S above the conservatory was more accessible

You can't see the bottom.... I have 3 illegal immigrant holding onto each leg (so I don't need outriggers) and 4 dwarfs running around catching anything that I kick off

Mike, I'm wondering now how often will that tower of yours be actually used?
Reason being I've cleaned some real awkward jobs whereby if wanting to use a tower would not be a viable option due to restrictive access/hard landscaping issues etc etc

He'll learn, he's just a noob at this type of work 😂

Takes us about 5 mins to put up, we have a big trailer which it's strapped to the top of.
We've used it about 3 out of 7 jobs we've done, if we can't use it due to access then we don't use it (but at least we have it for when we can use it)
It's a good selling point with the customers, we tell them we don't just use poles, we get up high and clean them by hand, which takes longer ( so unfortunately we have to charge more) :)

Well spend some money on the kickboards and outriggers they are cheaper, safer and more reliable than illegal immigrants and dwarfs ;D ;D

Nice pics Smudger.
What do you think of those thermatech machines after using them as I take it they where rented or did you buy them?
-
Very nice, not as nice as the new one that they brought over for testing ::)roll
I hate the m22 fittings ( quick release for me every time ) but they perform very well, easy to use and move they run off a 6 kva genny and get seriously hot - even takes off road paint, which was handy as all the roads were double yellow except where the van was parked ;D
Darran
-
Thanks smudger, I did enquire a while ago about buying a thermatech rather than a doff as it looked better but had to put it on the back burner when my health started going tits up.
Still like you say can come in very handy for parking on yellows...what yellows mr traffic warden ;D
Did you buy one in the end?
-
Not yet, if the chap is true to his word he has around 8 other buildings like this so you never know!....

Nice job…Shame about the joints though as that what lets the overall appearance down
Thats how he can charge double, be round next wk with a bag of cement doing all joints.
Ker ching! ;D
-
I don't get involved in repairs or re-pointing joints myself.
That's one of the reasons why I prefer not to use a pressure washer myself on pavers with dodgy joints as can make it look a mess afterwards. Fine If they are warned in advance and they are not bothered that a lot of the blown mortar will come out I may then still use a washer. Up to them afterwards to get it sorted if they can be arsed which most are not that bothered.
-
We always inspect and advise the customers of the standard of their hard surfaces prior to cleaning
If the mortar is not great then use low pressure and heat but charge accordingly

Kevin , what experience do you have with soda blasting and the equipment used ?
Ed
Not a lot I flew over to a demonstration of machines in Holland a few years ago. I was more impressed when they used recoverable media but Ice Blasting Impressed me more than both the Soda and the Recoverable Media

Nice vid clips Smudger. So how come you did not use a thermatech on the first job as well?
-
cost - to buy they are around 7k for the basic machine or £375 + vat plus pallet delivery each way you get the machine for a week but the majority of cleans for brick restoration are a day, maybe 2 so we hire either nilfisk or ipc steamers which produce around 120 degrees and cost £65 per day hire.
the next brick restoration job i might hire the thermo for a week just to see if its better on the initial clean and stubborn parts where at present we need to re apply the cleaning solution

Mike what with the beard?...I thought I was the only grandpa smurf in the village with a white beard
At least mine is all white now that matches me hair so many customers want to give me a hand. Even young people open doors for me too. My next goal is to have somone to help me across the road as they do. Oh the joys of looking old ;D ;D
-
Sorry got a bit off topic there.
Nice vid Mike...Does yer gorilla tub have holes in it so the water drains away?
-
I grew the beard as I read on the internet that bald men should grow a beard as it makes them look more sexy :o
My bucket don't have holes as I like the solids to settle so the water sits on the top, then I can pour the top water down the road drain and put the solid slush in the customers brown bin
-
Apologies I did not realise you were follicle challenged Mike.
Mind I suppose you could always grow it long enough for a comb over but might look a wee bit silly ;D ;D

No offense taken Darren ;)...we had more or less finished,people started arriving for a course early so had to call back, but by then most of the red had gone.

Yeah absolutely but the next door neighbour was power washing with his karcher and I didn't want to blast crap in while he was washing his patio. I'll algo clear it next time I'm there for the windows.

Great job Mike.
Can i ask where you got the ladder from in the pic?
Looks very handy.

Bought them second hand off eBay, then fitted the side stabiliser. Makes them really steady when you are at the top
Sorry wrong way round :-\

75 of these 3m x 1m glass panels across a store roof - didn't look like they had ever been cleaned.
Over 25 degrees , sun on neck & then straight into the face off the glass, any pre-spray of chemical was drying straight away.
Remit was not perfection but an improvement.
Being bombarded by seagulls & their constant noise over 7 hours was enough that I never want to see Cardiff again.

The bit by the sticker was cleaned.

I don't know why you bother with such small jobs..... ;D ;D
nicely done tho !

Mate I was on my a*se by the time I'd finished.
Drove over there about half past 6, 3 hour drive, had an hour trying to get myself out of the van, by the time I got the kit on the roof it was just after 11, finished about 6, put the kit in the van and got int the house just before 9.

One delivery after another, loads and loads of trolleys to work around, move out of the way, put back.
The delivery lorry at the side of the van was a double decker & there for two hours, my doughnuts were in the side door!!

Nice job done there pity they didn’t have it all done

Thanks Splash.
Yes it looked strange - the scope was to clean up any customer facing areas. This was definitely customer facing.
It was finished on an expansion line down the brickwork, which made it quite tidy.

Its a great Job . Did pressure washing only bring it up that well
-
How do you upload photos on here , always says mine are too big
-
Yes it is just pressure washing - I just cannot use chemicals on these works.
To get their use past the principal contractor & then Tesco just wouldn't happen.
I think in the last 12 years I've probably only used chemical no more than 5 times, this being one of them -
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1598623183_Resized glass cleaning 3.jpg)
This is hand cleaning to a Tesco carwash glass partition - covered in deposits from the water over the years.
There was a lot of it, we had to clean both sides and it took forever but the results took it from opaque to clear.
There is a piece of glass in the main section you are looking through. They were all like the piece to the right of the picture.

To add photos I just drag & drop.

If the file is too big I stick them on a photo editor and re save them as jpeg and lower resolution

What did you use? Nice result that.

Cerium oxide - it's a powder for polishing.
Bit of water with it makes a paste and then have arms like a windmill, hard work!

I have been using it for years, we sell tons of the stuff it’s virtually identical to Jewellers Rouge but it’s not red. We use it to get fine scratches out of stone.

We hire the lift plus an operator.

Do you just hire machine and have the tickets yourself?

yes - we all have Ipaf
the cost of a days course is the equivilent to a days hire of an operator, so I think its well worth getting a ticket

Cheers Darran. Ive a bungalow to clean in few weeks so wont need that but im going to try the pressure wash method on roof. Previously ive always just scraped and spray but going to give it a go here. Massive market for roof cleaning over here but the hire of booms etc has previously put my off and ive just stuck to bungalows and dormers which i do from the ground

Look forward to the pictures

Why does a new build need brick work cleaning ?.. I get windows and plastics but not that .

Crappy bricklayers - they leave snots and mortar residue everywhere
We get these on a regular basis - usually a good price too as everyone’s in a panic 😁

A sub contractor had been back twice to clean up the brickwork . We then got asked to do a test patch and afterwards got the go ahead for the whole site at the cost of the contractor . Happy days

Great result! Amazing how much money a few idle sloppy bricklayers can earn you ;D

Cheers Kevin.
Have you had the cleaning sorted yet?
Nowt up with cleaning leaves - did the same yesterday Mike, on a Co-op in Milton Keynes - there was a car park attached that got cleaned as well.
-
Back tomorrow to clean the leaves up again, ::)roll ....... and this is a freebie.
this was the finishing touches to a full factory clean, I just casually mentioned we would sort the leaves out and flush down the front parking spaces against the building As they were taking photos of the front elevation.
but they didn't take the photos on the Monday so more leaves Fell.
This was the job....

High level cleaning to the bullnose, underside of the storefront canopy, columns & the feature fins.

very nice !

Its nice to see the old boys are still going strong x Ed
-
Thank you Darren, Splash.
'Old boys, old boys!!!!! - how very dare you young Ed'
I'd packed it in last year, went and got a 'normal job' with the thinking of just doing occasional works.
Absolutely flat out, been to Tesco Sunbury, Tesco Leighton Buzzard and now I'm at Sainsbury's Leamington Spa - just this week.
Quoted works in Banbury, Swindon & two more quotes to do this morning.
A 'large job' with the purchase order given yesterday that could only be an 'I'll try and fit it in before Christmas, if that's ok?'
-
Its nice to know that the experienced boys are still around to give constructive advice to the newbies out there and point them in the right direction Ed
-
It's a sign.

Ramping it up.
Difficult to see the 1st picture and how dirty it was, 4 of these - black with algae/moss build up.

And then a daytime picture.

-
So the works on this store were initially evenings/nights and were just after the clocks went forward.
No problem - done a million times before - piece of cake.
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1607600754_20201119_004350.jpg)
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1607600759_20201119_004415.jpg)
Done over two nights - Tarmac walkway and cladding from the ground, up to 4 metres.
Never checked the work in the daylight after the 1st night. Flying on the project, no issues.
What I woke up to when it was checked after night 2 -
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1607600894_20201123_134627.jpg)
A really fine layer of moss that I just couldn't see, streaking on the cladding that I couldn't see because of all the shadows.
Spoke to the site manager, went onto days & you can see where I'd got halfway back up it on the 3rd day.
-
Do you use any extra lighting - I did a couple of Aldi stores mid winter I hated working in the dark
-
Not really mate.
If I'm high level maybe a head torch but not been caught like this before.
On the side of stores they usually have block or slab paving and you can see the difference.
Like you not really up for nightshifts, don't do many a year, mainly on fuel stations but they're well lit.

Good portfolio photos Ed.
How far away is that green hose coming from?

Building and surfaces cleaned up at this unit

On a rural bus station job we did years ago we purchased LED lights on stands that run off 110v and a generator . I cant see in the day never mind working at night ;D
-
WFP Green hose 100 meters on the electric reel from the van . Ed
-
Did you WFP it then?
-
No access on site so WFP tops and pressure cleaned lower and hard surfaces Ed

Back on another site to get this one ready for handover

-
Just run people through that one Ed - if you've got the time.
What did you use on the walls, the effervescing, on the stone patio, was it a full window clean as well.
If I bought that the man hole in the back garden would really p*ss me off.

Rob was you drunk when you typed that ;D Ed

Incomplete due to the fuel pump going on the machine, having to use a second machine that had further problems, finally yesterday able to rinse off a large parking area that was covered in mess (needed to be coned off from the premises and they couldn't park on it).
Started on Christmas eve, outside of 6 units took 5 days, Christmas day off, working boxing day, had a day off with frozen inlet hose, not there today, waiting on machine back, wanted to be there tomorrow & Saturday but it's looking like we are going to have a lot of snow through the night - so it could be the following weekend because I have to be in Essex all of next week.
There's two days left to clean
-
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1610022880_20210107_123054.jpg).
So three sections to site, left hand side, top & right hand side.
Right hand side cleaned in January 2020.
Cleaning recognised by Google Earth!

Like these big jobs Rob . One place and hook up on a Hydrant and off you go x Ed
-
I know mate - you just can't beat them.
Once you're over halfway it's a walk in the park.
Just this weather, should have been there this morning, hopefully get there tomorrow and then finish it next weekend.
You busy?

Yes we tick over nicely Rob , had a couple of days below minus and snow days to reschedule around .

Nice work.
Rather you than me, even when I was fit I wouldn't do a unit like that on me Todd.
Darran

'I'm pretty tired, think I'll go home now' is becoming a daily mantra.
-
Rob that is hard graft for any one person to achieve on those works. Ed
-
Thanks Ed
There's more than one shift there.
Never really looked at the size of the projects really - think in the beginning they were daunting but been doing them for such a long time now (without being flippant) it's another day at the office.
There's no 'You must get this much done today' on them and there are so many variables that will stop me getting to where I want to be but if it's a poor m2 day I catch it up.
Talk to the client daily and work with the site management but it's working around other contractors & us making way for each other that gets the job done.
The ICM Contractor I had off Lee Kenny is just a dream to use and never leaves me short, never take it much above tick over but it eats volume.
A big week takes Friday & Saturday to recover but I just love doing the work, still.
Was diagnosed with Scoliosis of the spine last year, after ten years of major Sciatica so that makes it harder. This I'm told will be a massive full spine straightening operation and if I haven't finished by the time I have the operation there'll be no option but to stop.
-
Rob we can replace nozzles , hoses and machines ect but wear and tear on the body and i will be the first in the queue to become the bionic man ;D

Lovely job done there , looks like you have a nano trolly do you use it for hypo ? If so what pump are you using and how do you find it lasts ? PF told me they couldn’t fit a chemical rated pump to the nano as the frame is to small , I have orders one and just hope the pump will last a few months 😂😂
-
Biocide on that job but yes you can use the fitted pump for other chems . I would advise make sure you always flush the system with plenty of water at the end of each job . Having a chemical pump fitted will no doubt be longer lasting in theory Ed

Roof looks excellent. How long approx would you be on the general ground clean up after a roof like that? Random question that i found myself pondering the other day . 🙈
-
whole roof with clean down for 2 guys was just over 4 hours.....
Depending on the size/moss content a cleanup maybe around 2 or 3 hours - thats wash down s/f/g - clean up and window clean
( its difficult as larger jobs we clean as we go )

Very nice job done there , do you pressure wash only or pw then hypo or hypo and pressure wash ???
-
Pressure wash then hypo
Darran
-
Darran do you ever get any hassle off neighbours about moss etc getting in on their properties? I was pressure washing wall caps over a kind of bay window the other week and a woman about 10 yards away said I was destroying her window. I wasn't at all but cleaned this window anyway to keep the peace

I came across a vid last night of a crowd called griggs direct who have a 12inch rotary surface cleaner that they have for cleaning roofs from there ground via a 42 foot pole that is 50% carbon fibre ever heard of them Darran?
-
Wife in hospital last few days and im off work so maybe just too much time on my hands 🙈
-
No never heard of them
Never too much time look and learn about other ways of cleaning - no one knows it all (apart from Nigel ;D )
Norfolk people are usually very easy going - I ask them how do they get on with the neighbours - this is usually a good indicator if i'm going to have hassle
If the border is tight I will let the neighbours know we will be cleaning up any mess before leaving - this stops them getting stressed!

Guys, I have finally cleaned my house :D And this is really something of a victory for me, because I just never clean up. I'm so lazy that every week I call the cleaning company and ask them to come and clean my house. I think I already have a subscription and I think every employee already knows me there. Well, what can I do if I can't stand cleaning. I can't live in the mud)) In general, these guys https://www. Spammer.co.uk/islington-cleaner (https://www.emop.cospammer-cleaner) save me every time!

Nic job Slacky
-
Yea, came up good in the end. I figured just water wouldn’t be adequate, so used a strong TFR mix which still wasn’t adequate. So bleached it. I’m not entirely happy about using bleach on solar panels because it doesn’t actually get rid of the debris, just makes it translucent. The crap that remained after the TFR was white after the bleach treatment, so that didn’t look good. A good scrub got rid of that.

What was it on the panels ??? Looks like general grime that should come off ok , but obviously not
-
There was general grime but something that water alone and then a strong TFR mix wouldn’t do much to it. So, in answer to your question the reality is I don’t actually know. They also had 8 panels on the other side of the house, these panels were only as dirty as any regularly cleaned array. A minimal amount of lichen spots and no residual grime.
No trees anywhere in the vicinity likely to be the cause for whatever reason.

Suspension on the van upgraded to two leaf springs @ 76mm - giving a 5 tonne load bearing, looks exactly the same height with a tonne of water and all kit in the back.

Nice one Matt.
Is that your scafolding?
-
No. Hire shop. Local to me.

I’d buy a decent tower but it’s not just about having something like that at your disposal, it needs to be stored somewhere and transported there too, which either means a trailer or another van.
I just whack another £150 quid or so on to the price. Which allows for delivery and collection charges.

Better idea 👍

It was a strange job, for 3 pavers in From the pool it was spotless but then it progressively got blacker towards the grass the outer line of pavers was black.
The chlorine/hypo used in the pool stopped the pavers closest to the pool getting dirty.
The hardest part was the "we don’t want any dirt getting in the pool"comment from the manager ::)roll

Three days in Darren and done and dusted
Ed
-
Is that a painted surface or artificial grass?
Darran
-
Darren its artificial grass that has sand in it . This was covered in moss and taken us a day to clean Ed
-
You need well then,
Ive done some with or without sand - the sand one was in fairness a football pitch - took us (2 men) just over 2 days and was hard work shifting the sand
others like bowling greens are a pleasure to do
well done mate
Darran

Nice work!
That was a decent job

I did 20 of these on Thursday, the customer had spent £15k on landscaping their back garden then the wife thought it would look nice if they put these planters all around the plinths. 6 months later massive rust stains running down the top and sides. These photo are not the worst of the 20 some of the others look really bad
The top of the centre circle had been eaten away and the rust had penetrated real deep, I was honest with the customer and told him the 10% solution I was using wouldn’t get it any better but I could come back and try a stronger solution but it would cost extra,. He said the planters would go back exactly so no one would see it (especially as they were going to get some plastic plates to sit them in to stop it happening again)
(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1647070764_6C952ABF-A2D1-4846-9F2F-5D924F341E56.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1647070764_5444EB95-A241-44E2-ADE0-0346C4DEF262.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1647070763_201494E6-84DC-424B-AF0E-D5B77155A793.jpeg)
-
What 10% solution?
Darran
-
Unicorn semen ;)
…….or if you have difficulty tossing off the unicorn Hydrochloric acid 😊
-
It’s appears both were pretty ineffective ::)roll
-
The 10% was effective on the run off staining I think a stronger solution would have worked but needs to be bought online.
-
Unless you were looking for advice then surely it would have been better to have shown the job completed rather than half done ?
I look forward to seeing the end results 👍

Yeah, not happy his looks so crap now. I did offer a discount for the two done together but no go.

His loss 😃

Got one to do exactly the same . My customer wants it doing the neighbour wants it doing for nothing . Ed

You could always spray a rude word in the neighbours and call it a freak of nature 🤪

I'd rather eat one of my kidneys than do it for nothing for a neighbour who expects you to work for free.

What pressure do you go in at Smudger.
I hear such horror stories about pressure washing roofs.
In fact I had a guy ask me to do his as neighbour had loads of problems.
-
Modern tiles like that - 150 bar
What problems ?
Most of the horror stories are either US based where people p/w wooden shingles or roofs with felt
the other is people not cleaning from above and firing the jet of water up into the tiles and lifting them
Must have done well over 100 roof cleans now - clay - cement - slate with all sorts of profiles - where poss we don't walk the roof - that makes a big difference
Darran
-
150...
I think that other chap was full bore.
Walking on roof.
Cracked some tiles too.

How do you post pictures on here ? Mine won’t load ?.
-
Select files and goto the appropriate file.
it does depend on your photo and size of image - if you have that "live" photo on it won't load and some photos are too big data wise - for these I stick them on a basic editor and resave at a lower quality
I think my photos on my iPhone are set to jpeg rather than Heic(I think thats the format) as I now use photos in the larger quotes where we are doing multiple areas

Top jobs them.
Is that spider yours or on hire?

On Hire -
I have toyed with the idea of buying one - but - my guys need an additional license to TOW - then there's the inspection costs (LOLA) etc...
its easier to hire

The whole store was cleaned but these are the 'action' photos.

Yes - the long wet winter has increased p/w work three fold this year 😛
Rob - have you done any big work in Norwich in the last 6 weeks?
-
No pal - You know I've been over that way in the past with the Sainsbury's but not for a long time.
It's so far away & so sh*t to get to there should be helicopters to get there in an hour.
Someone made a mess of a job?

No I had a quote in for a huge F off complex - sides roofs the whole 9 yards - came in around 16k - but didn't get it drove past it couple of days ago to another one and some b@rstard has cleaned it >:( ;D
