Wow, yet again you did a fantastic job and you actually took a brick out to remove the huge root I'm gobsmacked by your work, you truly care about your customers and the end result
Not many would bother lifting blocks to get roots out, well done. Great results as always.
Thank you chedders, much appreciated mate 🙂
I just love these types of driveways. Hopefully the homeowners have you clean their roof next. The place will look spectacular!
I thought the same
Yes, that roof really needs a good cleaning.
I hope so!
I was thinking the same thing!
Gee Nick that weather put the capital "G" back in Gorgeous 😆. At least you were able to dodge the drops. Bet the customer was chuffed.
Aw cheers LuAnn, so nice of you 😍
I would never question your knowledge! So many young cleaners popping up and I want to say GO WATCH NICK!!!!!! 😂 I see no-no’s being done that you’ve addressed before in videos! The drive looks beautiful ❤
Everyone starts somewhere with their own journey, rather than complaining on someone else’s channel about them, which is very disrespectful, why not just not watch them and stop creating drama.
I know what you mean, I watched someone damaging bricks the other day and I wanted to pass on *Nick wisdom*!! I still subscribed to them so I can watch their progress :)
Thanks so much Kelli, that's very kind of you to say 💕
@@CoachKarin 🙄 I said I WANT to, to help them learn in their journey! Geeze Louise! Karin!
Thank you I learned a few things in this video today 👍 hammer for concrete and good Nick. It sometimes doesn’t looks so bad in the beginning, until you realize the color of the bricks after you clean them. Then you truly appreciate what a great job you’ve done. It’s always great to see your work ❤
0:10 sky looking nice apart from the plane trails. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing a drive cleaned and re-sanded. Beautiful home made better by a lovely clean drive. Superb job. Well done 👍
What a pile of muck and weeds! You have done a lovely job transforming the bricks. Good on you!
Thanks very much indeed 🙂
I would be extremely pleased with how this driveway turned out 😊
Thanks so much Gwendolyn ❤️
Nice job, did not even look like the same driveway after.
Cheers Toni 💕
Gorgeous, Nick! It looks like a completely different driveway. Awesome results. Nice work!
Thanks buddy, much appreciated as always ✊
This blocks are beautiful in color and clean!
Thank you! Cheers Colleen 😊
A job with all kinds of bits of problems to deal with. Thank you for showing the "hands on" approach to working on the concrete spills, I know they can be a problem that has to be addressed but it was nice you had a situation that could be easily resolved. I know you aren't a gardener but as you worked-over the signs of longer neglect...the weeds cleared, edges refound, moss being moved out, there was a soothing feeling of relief as general order was restored. It also looks like there is a lovely brick color that was being resurrected. 7:35 The owner's choice of doing power washing on the driveway was a good one. A large area, being renewed will brighten the whole property. It has been a nice result of turbos that they can create an edging effect similar to using a trimmer or edger. It can make neat and clean edges, and so you did. Does a blower have any effect on speeding the drying of a damp area? What a lovely difference you made in the final results.
very nice job. before the blocks had no color and after they were actually red. you do so much by yourself. and weeding to me was an extra. hope the weather doesn't get you down in the coming weeks. "Crack On" and Stop "Waffling". Love your Terminology. viewing from Western America. Mostly desert.
Hey Jeri, thanks for your view and great comment. It might sound strange to you, but that's a part of the world i'd love to see, don't see many deserts here in the UK 😁
Hey nick another cracking job, BTW that was me that went passed u bibbing me horn while u were doing this job.
Hey Charlie, nice one mate 👍. Lol, I didn't even know whether it was meant for me, as there were some guys working next door that kept getting beeped at. I'll make sure I wave next time bud. That's a new van isn't it? I thought you had a Transit Connect?
Wow how easy is that to remove all of those weeds! I wish I had a surface cleaner back when my old house had backyard paving! Absolutely love watching your videos 😁
Aw thanks so much ☺
Top job on some 'Old School' Pavers... nicely restored - and glad to see you getting some nice weather to work in too, for a couple of hours, at least... those gaps took a lot of sand... BTW, your production skills and style are developing very nicely... the shots, the sequences, the overall video...
If you think that's bad, you should see my back garden. The 1m patio slabs are bright red and yellow but are currently nearly black and the gaps are full of soil. I've pressure washed it just once. The surface of the slabs are so rough my not very powerful karcher pressure washer struggles to get all the dirt out.
It looks amazing Nick, like new! The re-sanding really made this one pop after your cleaning. You always go the extra step, not many would remove a brick to get a weed root out. You show cleaners and homeowners alike, just how easy it is, it only took 2 to 3 minutes, it's out, problem solved and so much better.
Thanks so much as always Lois 💕
Great job
Thanks Debra 💕
Cracking job as always and tell me about it with the weather cant get a job in due to it wanting to rain all the time.
Nice one Nick, top man ✊
Every time I watch you do these driveways, I wish I had the block driveway. I have the standard cement driveway of all the homes in the area. The block driveways have so much character. Another excellent job, Nick. Seems the sand turned out great in the slightly damp areas. Happy Spring, Nick. 🌷🌷 Have a great week. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another impacable work. Thx for the video. Have a great week full of blessings.
Thanks so much Sue ❤️
Great job brought it up a treat
Many thanks Brian ✊
Great job..the pavers were a mess and it looks fantastic now!
Thank you! Cheers mate
Yet another great result bud, I like doing block work but they can take an age to do, anyway great vid Nick and see ya on the next job 😎👊
Nice job as usual Nick. Brilliant transformation. Have a great week mate, thanks for the upload :)
Nice one mate, cheers Al 🤝
Masterful 👏👏👏 did you borrow that hammer off Noah after he built the Ark😂
🤣, don't upset me Col, you've now just reminded that, that was the last time I saw my old hammer, that hammer had been with me through thick and thin, since I started doing this in 2011, and now it's sitting somewhere rotting, lost, all alone, unloved and uncared for 😢 (didn't look very loved and very well cared for though ay 😆)
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning 😂😂😂
Is that Chem trails all across the sunny spring morning skies? Lots of planes where you live then.
This looked to be quite an undertaking and you killed it !!! Fantastic job sir.
Could you please do a talk through of the equipment you use particually the pressure washers. Have a load of my own and family properties to clean up and farm vehicles
Alright mate , just wondering what treatment you sprayed on the blocks ? Really seems to finish it off 👍
It was 15% sodium hypochlorite diluted down to 4% 👍
Another great job👍👍👍
Thank you so much Ian 😀
Amazing transformation looks like a new drive , you are a real grafter.
Amazing work, as always!👏👏👏⭐️
That was a tough one, but it came out lovely! So appreciate your attention to detail. I am hoping you will start getting a bit more sunshine, but it is April.....and April Showers so...hope springs eternal. Stay safe. 😊
Wow. Dull and gray to bright and colorful. And good music too. Very nice.
Masterpiece as always my friend. You truly are the best at what you do mate. I try and do everything just like you. And I always say to Myself how Would nick leave the job before I pack everything away. Thanks for all your help over the last year mate ❤️
Mate, what an awesome compliment, thanks so much my friend 🤜🤛
This looked like a full day of work and beautifully done!
Always learning something new from your videos. Great transformation too. Well done Nick
So kind as always, thanks Lakshmi ❤️
The music you play in your videos is alway so lovely ❤
Wow brilliant job my man I know what you mean about the weather because I just recently finished the job myself you done it. Fantastic job keep up the good work. I don’t know if they use locking sand over there but it does make a nice job. I’ve used it plenty of times I guess it depends on the customer.
Feel your pain with the weather at the moment! I’ve been behind in so many jobs! Re-sanding and chemical application to roofs, patios etc has been a ruddy nightmare! Great job on this one though bud 👌🏻
Fab job as always. Sorry the weather is being so British. I made no plans for Easter as the weather forecast was so rubbish and we've had 4 dry days in my corner of Wales!! Hope you had a good break with your family x
Amazing work!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a beautiful job Nick. It looks wonderful, and the sand all went in really well despite the damp. With the awful weather we are having there was zero point waiting as it would only have got wetter rather than drier! Hope you’ve had a good Easter and a proper rest x😊
What a messy driveway that was, but Nick as always you do a fantastic job. I hope you had a great Easter.
Thanks mate, hope you had a good one too, all the best ✊
What a wonderful job you have done looks amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic Results as always Mate 😀
Happy Easter Mate, hope the Easter Bunny spoilt you 😀
Amazing job. Thank you for taking us with you!
Good job Nick colours are popping now ! 👍
Fabulous job, well done, you should be proud. Best wishes Christine x
Brilliant job done 👍
Hi Nick 👋😁 Hope you and your family are having a wonderful Easter and the kids aren't too hyper from all the chocolate 😂 Driveway looked amazing 🤩 so much difference and wow what a whopper of a weed 😮 Weather has been bloody awful real Jekyll and Hyde up here literally one minute lovely and hot with the sun blazing away the next high winds and chucking it down 🤦🤦 Take care and see you next time love and hugs 🤗🤗 from oop norf 😂
Yes, Happy Easter Nick!
Hi Polgara, yes thanks we had a lovely weekend, hope you did too. As you said, them and my wife stuffed themselves with chocolate eggs, not me though, if you can believe it I don't like chocolate 😳, everyone always looks shocked when I say that, as it's quite an unusual thing 😆. Been raining on and off all week, when will it ever end 😂, see you on the next one 🤗
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning the rain feels never ending 😞 no shock from me but I do get the reaction myself when I have the audacity to say I don't like chips 🤣
@@polgarauk5606 🤣🤣 love it! I don't like chips either! We're a right couple of outcasts 🤣
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning YAY 🎉🎉 finally a fellow chip hater 🤣🤣🤣
good one mate well done 👍
Looks fantastic ❤❤
Thank you Marie 😋
Big difference
very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great. Now give them a quote on that roof.
GREAT JOB. How long did it take?
Put the leaf blower on it help speed up drying 😉
I've never found that to be very effective, but thanks for the suggestion 👍
I done one of these yesterday the blocks look so good when they're clean makes a huge difference. Great video as always! What brick acid are you using there?
What a difference 👏 👌 what sand do u use?
Hi Nick and all, great video there by the way, something so relaxing about it but also taking something new from it on the knowledge end, not many out there would give away the tricks of the trade.... Great work as always. Great to see the sun again was starting to forget what it was alls its done is rain here in Ireland
Great job! Love your videos. What is the chemical you use for cleaning?
Just a thaought. I hope you change your respirator cartridges regularly. You probably nend to change them more often you think If you are finding you are more sensitive to the hypo than you once where, you may have some ongoing background inflamation. . The chemicals and materials in the cratridges "get spent" absorbing and neutralizing the Chlorine.
Number one fan here again!! I will let you know my thoughts in around 20 mins nick 😂👍
With this weather it was definitely touch and go for you Nick. Another great job and the good lord answered your prayers 🙏 keep them coming 👍
Legend! thanks mate
Excellent job as usual Nick - I really love your attention to detail. Professional advice time: if I see weeds in my block paving, what should I do and is there any preventative action I can take?
Hi Martin, you've numerous choices, boiling water. White vinegar and salt mix Chemical weed killer... I just use boiling water, works a treat, do a few kettles if on night rate, go mad on the lot, you will notice the weeds go dead near instantly but look at them the next day after doing it, big difference
@@almilhouse9059 Thanks!
Don’t you use the blower to dry the floor just a thought as you shared so much good help and tips I’m loving all the videos keep up the great work
If it could blow hot air then that would be quite effective, but as it only blows cold, it does very little 👍
My untrained eyes when the video starts: ohh that doesn't look so filthy to me. By the middle of the video: damn... it was filthy
Awesome video, subscribed! At around 19:45 minute mark, the white foamy stuff, is that hypo? And what sort of concentration did you use? 15%?
Welcome on board 👍, Yep hypo, it's 15% in the drum, but the x-jet dilutes it to roughly 4%
Beautiful job. 😍 Question. Do most of the driveways have no mortar between the bricks? Do they only have sand?
Yes as lets the water drain away but the sands helps keep the bricks from moving
@@almilhouse9059 Good to know. Thank you! 😊
A limpeza desse piso é difícil é trabalhosa, poderia usar quem sabe uma rocadeira/fio e um produto mata mato que te ajudaria e diminuiria tempo de mão obra .
Hey Nick, Great job and what a transformation👍🏼. If you don’t mind me asking what sort of pressure do you put through the circular surface cleaner ? Cheers
Full 200 bar through the Honda mate 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning cheers thanks for getting back to me 👍🏼
Does the rain help pack the sand in more or cause it to wash out?
Put in dry is best, what can happen is it rains and it sinks in so needs spots done again, if torrents of rain and say heavy flows in sure can wash it near straight out.
Where would someone like myself buy Hypo for cleaning my driveway
Farm supplies depot/warehouse, Hardware stores. They use it for cleaning likes of milk parlor and that, you also have actual chemical supplier like pure seal and others in the UK, bit harder for us here in Ireland to get. I'm sure Nick be able to let you know some exact places
Like new
Thanks very much 😍
What do you mean when you say hypo
Sodium hypochlorite so essentially a bleach mix of up to 14% strength then mixed with water bring that % way down..... biocide treatment can also help for keeping the green stuff away a bit longer
I always put the hypo on first and then leave it for about 20 minutes and then jet wash am I doing it wrong
@@ianratcliffe2299 hi ian some also do this, I see mostly when doing concrete but on the likes of the bricks and say Indian sandstone most do after tge pressure washing rinse and if bad repeat let dwell and if very bad black spots put on neat and work in with a brush. Hope that helps
First ❤
Yees ❤️
What a good nick of work! I really have to remember that one 😉 I love brick driveways with not too evenly brick colors, this is just right. You didn't show in the end but with that even result I guess the oil patches were really gone 😊 I loved to see how easy it actually is to get a block out. I have nothing to do with builders, so this is a refreshing detail.
Thanks Tatjana 😍. I wasn't completely sure whether the stains were gone as it was still ever so slightly patchy, but I couldn't see the distinct shape of the round blobs, so i'm confident they were removed. So glad you enjoyed the block removal bit 🥰
