a good question for those interested in adding jetwashing.

No - not when there is alot of moss/grass growing between the blocks. a turbo nozzle also called a dirt blaster is what you see here. although slower than the whirlaway cuts through anything and uses less water in the process. This is my tool of choice for block paving.

When cleaning other surfaces, patios ect the whirlaway is much faster, then use the turbo for detailing edges, corners, steps, walls and so on.

final stage is a rinse with the high/low pressure lance.

haha potty mouth! I guess thats true but I am making an effort to swear less, I think the excitment got to me a bit that day!

Richy we dont pust jet washing at all, we just wait for it to come to us. Same guy in the vid with me is doing another today which is alot smaller. drive patio and fascia for £430.

this year has been slower on jetwashing due to the weather I think but usualy one or two a week during spring and summer.

Well done on everything as you push your business forward.

A word of caution - get your guy a decent pair of Goretex steel toe capped boots and or wellies with steel caps, also get him a pair of ear defenders!

I would recommend that you can get a method of working left to right. I show everyone who works with us this method and you tend not to waste water by going over clean areas

Well done that man - keep it up!!!!

Rob ;D

No we have the Marks and Spencers to pressure wash down there. I've already done a sparkle clean on the Sainsbury's - at the beginning of the year and this roof has just come up and we should be on it next week.

I like positive people and those that are really pushing their businesses forward, if I get any closer I will see if you want a coffee!

Im off now to drop in on that jet washing job to see how its going and meet the customer.

Then up the road to drop in on another team cleaning an old peoples home for the first time today, back to the office to put the kettle on.

I love my job!  8)

keep up the positive attitude mate.

we dont do sealing as I have a phobia of chemical fumes, silly I know! they do look good when done though.

enjoy the paycheck mate and keep looking to the future, all this will turn out to be a good thing in time you will see.
