Post by: derek west on April 05, 2010, 08:17:48 pm
anyone know anybody in the cheshire area with a really dirty driveway, prefer block paving but others considered, free clean in it for them, we need to get a video together asap for the website. not too big cos we don't wanna be there all day. ;D

like i said its a long shot but worth a shout.

Hi Derek, the in laws live in lostock they have a part block paved back garden quite big though about 120 square metres but with good access to the back, dont know how bad it is though, been laid 12 plus years and only ever been done with a cheap karcher before.

In this case you need to spot a candidate then knock the door and offer the clean in return for filming.

If your going to film for promotional purposes then go for one at least 90sq m. I would also recommend that you do this for an affluent looking house in same area which you can subtly but often, include in shot.

Anything smaller is unlikely to impress.

Oh, and the dirtier the better, overgrown with weeds would be great and they're no bother with the right kit, which you seem to have.

Best of luck

Hi Derek

if you want to film a second job doing hexagonal flags which I think from memory were yellowish (when I last cleaned them 4 years ago) then you are welcome here.

You also know what the house and garden are like.

probably about 50 metres square.

rRing me if you're interested-not bothered if it doesn't fit your plans.

Roger

When I read 'long shot' I was going to recommend the mother in law but not sure if the silver bullet would be accurate enough.

Just spoke to Ian and Bev Derek, thank you, they are really really pleased with the block pavers, he said you did a really professional tidy job and it looks like new now.  Just one problem though....   why did you show him your tm? he thinks my porty is just a toy now, lol   :(  I'll never hear the last of it now  ;D as he's a right p##s taker  :-[

Thanks again mate, hope the video turns out good.
