You should never use a pressure washer on your roof, it shortens the life of the tiles by blasting off the grit built into the tiles, same as block paving, it just blasts all the sand out and have to be refilled.
@@xxshadow-_-gamerxx1932 you obviously have never done it and have no understanding of building, the sand is compressed between and under the blocks, you blast it out it will never be the same, blocks will move, if anyone does it they will see a river of sand not water, certain roof tiles, Marley for example, have a grit on the outside ffto protect the tile and enhance its life, you would be removing this, also you should never scrub them, hopefully you aren’t a builder.
As someone in the trade, I watched this with absolute horror. If I saw any of my lads doing that well for starters they wouldn't pass their probation to be able to do this but secondly I would put them on stop immediately, have em come in to see the Compliance SEO who I have rightfully nicknamed The Enforcer, as she is my attack dog and it'd be 'give us your uniform, phone and your van keys and fuck off mate we're not even going to discuss this' Good god.
Crikey how many times do people ask this question, every episode there is someone, I’m surprised everybody in the world doesn’t know the answer, he claimed housing benefit when he was working, big deal, obviously not the brightest being on TV while claiming, if he did it now he would just have to pay the money back, it’s so common they hardly charge anyone, especially the small amount he was charged with. Must be 15/16 years ago.
He got booked for a job on a block of flats in liverpool...when the locals heard his accent they chucked him, his broken chinese jet washer and his gammy leg off the roof where he was smoking
You totally CAN get upvc painted as long as you use professionals using the correct materials. Preparation is 95% of the job. What the hell do builders know anyway
As someone who is in the exterior cleaning business and never had an unhappy customer I can professionally say: Roofs should not be washed by full power pressure washing. The safe way of it being done if using water to wash is by a small rotary cleaner to disperse the pressure over a larger surface area and from top to bottom row by row. We prefer to dry scrape as it negates and possible water ingress from damaged roofs prior to our arrival. Biocidal treatment works and very well if done to the instructions provided, oh and actually applied. 🤷♂️ The driveway 'wash' is a joke and realistically no professional outfit should be using a domestic level pressure washer. It never creates the same results as professional kit. The gutters are a joke, sure a small amount of debris may come down after the clean, but, nothing to that level. The one thing they got wrong here is pressure washer not being able to apply the treatment on the roof. They absolutely can just most tradesmen would up for a hand sprayer motorised sprayer. That mud staining on the second job is a joke, not a funny one. The lack of use of a rotaty cleaner has caused that and a huge field of debris all over the garden.
Named and shamed for all eternity thanks to RU-vid. Now there isn't any show like this and I can name 3 companies that I know in my little area that are 100x worse than these guys.
19:18 that man in the hoodie didn’t say a word to Matt he just starred at him and then got into the passenger seat of this man’s car before the man started the car and he didn’t put his seatbelt on before driving off
Barry hasn’t got a clue. you can pressure wash a roof. Surface cleaner is safest and least messy way. you can put chemicals through a pressure washer, just to clarify. 🤦♂️
This was 10 years ago. These type of cowboy traders are everywhere now. The pub behind where I live had the car park redone a few weeks ago 😂 the worst job I've ever seen. The pot holes have returned already 😂😂😂
Of course he was, he lied he had treated the roof with anti fungal, he said he had sprayed the weeds which were still growing, he said there were rotten batons by the chimney and they would replace them, they weren’t rotten and they didn’t replace them, replace broken tiles, he said it all, if anything he was worse than the other fella, please don’t get any work from people who knock your door George.
Ah, the British tradie; Thinks they're the hardest working people on Earth because they turn up at 8am. Never mind the fact they do an hour of actual work all day and then leave at 3pm.
I wish, I start at seven and finish at five, five and a half days a week, I don’t know any tradesmen that think the way you say, are you an Aussie, never heard the word tradie in England.
@@alexritchie4586 no delusions pal, just spent my whole life working, but I enjoy it, the banter on the sites, the beers after work, the money, you should try it sometime and you’d know what I mean, never heard the saying a British tradie, called Tradesmen in Britain, you Aussies are so funny..
Unfortunately this kind of experience seems to be with every British workman people hire to do work on the house and why the UK is dwindling. Every workman is a scanner ….. There may be one or two honest people left, but this very sad.
No it's not myself and the tradesmen I know .are hard working and honest ....perhaps we should discuss the abusive untrustworthy customers who think delaying paying for work done is totally acceptable but no one mentions and most customers are a delight but you do get them .I access customers and I'm pretty accurate now who's who
@@frankspig I’ve had over 50 British workmen work on my houses. I pay immediately and sometimes upfront. Everyone of them tried something or caused damage that I had to sort out after.
@@user-xm4ul9ty3o you must live in a right bad area to have employed over fifty Brits and everyone of them did something wrong, same as Frank, I’m an honest tradesman and so is everyone I know, if they weren’t they would be gone, you must be the unluckiest home owner in the uk.
@@mrdog2019 I’m thinking you could be right. No, I live in a nice area. That’s probably the issue. They probably do bad work, blame it on the house so I keep calling them back, so they make more money. Obviously I’m not saying everyone, it just seems to be the majority.
Without fail, every time rogue traders is on, some clown says, what about Dan, he was sacked probably twenty years ago by now, the fool claimed housing benefit when he was working, big deal, they are exposing scumbags who rip people off for thousands, but you think what divvy Dan did is more important.
And yet if you look at the comments (currently nearly 200) - that's one pound each - all of which have now learnt what trader they should/shouldn't use. I'd say that's damn good value!!!
They aren’t rich they are pensioners who mostly get ripped off, so if you have worked hard all your life and have nice things you can’t moan, but if you haven’t you can, obviously your the latter.
But they had money to paint it and sorry but regardless if ya work in the trade or nor thinking thru can paints pvc facias is just pure stupidity have abit of common sense
I am all for this type of show but this presenter is such a pratt, constantly trying to be witty and essentially become the main act instead of the investigative reporting.
