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

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?

Sadly forgot to take a picture of front drive which i did at same time as this patch in the rear. Tho this was the dirtiest, not been cleaned for years as you can tell. But it came up really well, thanks to the trade secret formula chemicals yeeha! Lol
But the client was very impressed at the professional results (as i cared more about the cleanliness of the drive more than her, lol)

I like doing ones that are so dirty they have forgotten what colour the blocks are and it actually had patterns laid in it.

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

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
