TOUGHEST JOB OF THE YEAR SO FAR! Pressure washing & Soft Washing 320 m2 Of SUDS Block Paving 

I'm knackered just watching you mate! Well done.👏

Once again, straightforward explanation about this massive job!! Excellent video young man, informative and great to watch!! Be well, look forward to the next one!!

I cannot believe with how beautiful that driveway turned out, they wouldn't go all out and get the sidewalks done?!?!?!? Baffling. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing more satisfying then pressure washing something to see it come back to life.

There's something thereputic about watching you spray the whole area with soap. Great job! I love to see people enjoy and take pride in their work. Again, great job!

Wow, that was huge! Great job 👏

Have to agree with you, one of the hardest jobs weeding it out, but then pressure washing it of and seeing it clean makes the first stage of the job rewarding, now just to do a few repairs to do. Once dry the original red colour starts to come through from under all the dirt the PW removes. Next stage is to brush in the sand and then seal it. Once done I'm hoping it'll remain wed free for the remainder of the summer!!! Now there's hoping??????

This video made my day! SO MUCH SUDS! Loved it!

What a great driveway.....and what a great job you did....So much better....Great video...always make these...Just watched 19 minutes of driveway cleaning...and loved it all.........Superb work...

And I thought cleaning my brick path to the front door was a big job! Watching this all the way through left me exhausted. Considering the time, knowledge, skill, labor and equipment, I'm sure you earned what they paid you.

Well that was a fabulous watch..no job too big or small..you smashed it...keep up the good work your videos just get better better...enjoy the weekend 😀😃👌

I've done a lot of pressure washing in my day (retired) and that's a pretty big job. Brick paving is nice but because of the maintenance requirements a lot of people here (BC Canada) have opted for poured concrete that is dyed and rolled with whatever pattern they want. Looks just the same, doesn't need weeding/weed controlling, resanding/gritting or much of any care after the pour if it is also sealed. After some years it can usually do with a pressure wash/reseal and it's good for maybe another decade.

Oh, hey, a fresh video! Stumbled upon this in the power washing rabbit hole Frankly that whole driveway just seems ridiculous but good work so far!

Lovely job and video for the portfolio, True professional knowing that It couldn't be sanded. Great Job on the filming and editing Nick going above and beyond mate!

You know you are good at what you do when you obtain contracts like this. Destructive reconstruction at its best! A monster job broken down into nice bite size pieces, good work 👏🏻

Mammoth job. Well done! Looks great! 👍🏻

Top job Nick. Very informative which is very helpful 👍 keep it up mate.

Outstanding job. Huge job for one man.

Wow! Owners must be so pleased 😀

Heads up to Luke Cannon, great idea about cutting out the bottom of a bucket to put in a bag to keep the top open! I had to laugh as at first when you said bucket I remember the METAL buckets we use to use and thought cut it out with a can opener?!? Then I thought, oh, he must mean the old oak wood slat buckets! FINALLY after 2 seconds I remembered they're now PLASTIC buckets lol. Oh the woes of having a senior moment lol!

I’ve got a private drive to clean that is 650m with the same pressure washer you are using, looking forward to the challenge!

Just in time before the rain. Good job.

Well done mate. Big job, big payday. Keep up the good work 💪

loved watching that clean. must of been so hard a job that size on your own. super job. that xjet is defo on my christmas list, looks awesome. im just using a backpack sprayer atm. takes forever. lol

Wicked huge job! 😳 Well done!

You know what they say, it always rains in southern California! Ha,ha,ha! Great Job!

Once again excellent work I have to admire you that you do not let anything bother you less speed more haste 👍👍👍👍

That was a huge one Nick to take on!! Well done mate. Class work 👌👌🤗 Bet you slept well after finishing that job😉. All that cash under the pillow!

Nicely done... And solo too 💪

You are a very hard dedicated worker I wish you much success.

Well done sir, well done.

Good job! Looks great!

Great job 👍🏻

Monster job! Well done mate 👍🏻

Bloody lovely job buddy! Don't think I've ever seen one of those drives, maybe I've just not noticed. Definitely haven't had to clean one! 👍

Great job bet you was happy when this job was done and dusted

New subscriber ,, loving the work mate ,, bang on ,, that’s a big job though I would of turned that down 😂

I priced for a van mounted system. Way too expensive, but It would have been lovely. After watching Bournemouth jet washing set up got me envious. Luckily we don't have too many 300 sq metre drive ways over in good old NI so my 21lmp will just have to do.....for now. Great job BTW. There's harder ways to earn good money 👍👍

I pressure washed a deck before staining and it mained my mind and body feel like mush but it was so fun watching the stain come off it would be a hard job but im guessing the pay is worth it

Hard (two) days work. Well done 👍

Great work Nick .I hope best of luck for you . I don't know the role of grit .Please can you give shortly explaining ?

Cracking job mate that’s a road size drive 💪🏽🇬🇧👍🏽

Nice job (Pat on the back) Could you pretreat the driveway with Iron Sulphate before cleaning to kill off the moss spores and lichen to help prevent future reforming of the moss. 👍

Great video. I usually put down polymeric sand once the pavers are dry. What’s your sand called? Paver grit sand? I may look into it. Can you seal the pavers after sweeping the grit into the gaps? Thanks.

I tend to rinse after doing a good sized patch to avoid missing spots and to avoid resettling of crap into the joints.

That was a LOT! Nicely done)

TY for the video! Did you get contracts from the home owners whose driveways look all the worse in comparison with the cleaned road?

Beautiful work 🎉

I was doing this for a few summers some years back. Started with only small low powered washer. When i upgraded the power was too much and tended to skim over, As well as double the water use. i was also surrounded by floods and had to squeegee more away. More work. More power not always best i don't think. I was not lucky enough to have that machine though and it took me a lot longer. What you did here would i guess about 3 or 4 days. Then having to return to sand weather permitting. I never used hot water either. I find it strips the texture out of the brick. After numerous times they start looking tired and old. as well as hot water penetrating under the bricks that cause the drive way to have dips eventually. Perhaps the grit is much better, But i never used that. But boy i was knacked by the end of the day. I got screwed once also. I quoted on small drive, But a learning process for me was that the bricks had no edges and didn't close together the same. Took me double the sand and took a hell of a lot longer to do for what i quoted and it hurt.

There seems to be some confusion among some viewers over why I have applied grit and not sand. I apply grit and not sand to the block paving in this video, because this is a specific, lesser known type of block paving, with slightly different shaped blocks, that have bigger gaps that allow for the grit that is required for drainage. I Haven't chosen to use grit instead of sand, it's what's required. This following link will explain it in much more detail. www.pavingexpert.com/permeable04

Great video thanks for sharing...I am in the middle of cleaning my block paving...what soap/cleaner did you use at the end of cleaning process?

Well done 👍🙏💪

Good Job My Son Well Done

Great video mate, so satisfying! I have this type of monoblock, can’t seem to find the grit anywhere, do you mind if I ask where you get it?

Beautiful vid, very enjoyable and even ASMR quality, especially the soaping stage. Can I ask what soft wash treatment did you use, ie what chemicals? Also do you recommend sealing after of leaving as nature intended?

Cracking job bud

Great video!! Do kiln-sand or grit require sealing after. Wasn’t sure if rain could wash it out if not? Thanks in advance

Absolute brilliant to watch info top class 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Came out really nice.... 🤙

Prestige sll the way excellent results.You are a pro at what you do.❤❤❤❤❤❤

loving the pool guy brush spin! You'll be doing some netting next!

Never done one of these drives, does much come out, do you need to replace much and do they not damage your fsc, I moved from Honda 21lpm/200bar to briggs 25lpm/300bar, what a difference.

Another great job. Question where can I get the application nozzle /set up you use for the hipo

Good job pal,,,well done fella👏👏👏👏

Thats a great job bet your shoulders were aching after that one.

Hi, great video, what surfactant do you use with the hypo? Cheers Rob

The bevels on those bricks are adored by moss

That paving certainly has a drainage problem. Perhaps the base is waterlogged, or perhaps more likely the small gaps have become plugged and it no longer drains. Did it show signs of standing water before you began?

Great job, looks like x-jet works amazing. Do you have to reduce pressure when u doing soft wash with x-jet?

My god it was filthy! (Was it near a railway or something?) brilliant job though mate 👍

Great work Nick. Recently started doing this up north, in Scotland. Running same machine pressure as yourself, and bought an xjet. However xjet isnt pulling hypo from container for some reason. Its the right xjet for machine tho. Can i ask what color tip you generally use, and is the pressure of your machine at its max? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Peter. 👍

Cant believe tgey didn't want there own drives doing. Great job though. What was used in the joints?

Hopefully it was also the most profitable job of the year so far :-) Bet you were a bit apprehensive quoting for it. Was it for a single custy or a group clubbing together? Great job, not seen re gritting before.

Very, very impressive, you made it look good. Couple of questions if you don’t mind, what was the name of the soap applied, and what was the soap used to clean the drive.? Oh, and I have subscribed.👍😊

Hats of that’s a big area to get done in one shot

Great Job. Are the granite clippings the same as Horticural Grit ? Where might be the best place to get it? Also I was surprised to see mainly moss growing in the joint lines and not many weeds . With the granite chipping I guess there is more opportunity for weeds to seed in the joint spaces compared to a drive which has been sealed with kiln dried sand appreciating that this was a permeable block . ? Bw

Your choice of kit although not your ideal is still pretty impressive

Hi huge job , what type of blower do you use, and how did you know it was grit and not sand, also self draining, is it just experience cheers

Excellent work. Would you recommend the grit on all jobs?

done well sir needed 2 people

Love to see a video on how to quote a job like this

Hey pal, love your work. Tip for your bagging up though - cut the bottom out of an old bucket and slip inside, so you won't have to hold it open 😉

How do you get your hypo mix to foam like that? Mine comes out quite watery at 4:1 mix with the x-jet?

can you give more details about the grit please?

Great video

Wow brilliant result! What soaps/cleaners do you use/recommend? And what grit do you use please? My drive is made up of lighter & darker grey paving bricks so I would need to use a similarly coloured grit rather than the reddish hue that you use. Can you recommend best places to buy both soap and grit here in the UK please? Great work!!! :-)

Hi pal were did you get the x_jet from and the foam awesome job carnt believe it only took you 18.38 mins lol keep the good work goin and stay safe

"Follow the Redbrick road".

What kind of machine did you use for the soft scrubbing?

Great job! They should ask you to do their sidewalks now.

Do you seal any driveways/walkways with a paver/sealer ? Low gloss, high gloss or other ?

So your main reason for using grit,is for drainage,plus it doesn't matter if its raining or not you can still work away with it.. good job 👍

That’s a beast of a driveway!! Interesting info about the non use of kiln dried sand between the blocks. Never knew there was an alternative to that. Looking forward to seeing your new machine in action mate. You deserve it. Nearly at 2K subs, keep it going 👊🏻💥

Amazing job that mate - looks fantastic! How much hypo did you get through for it?

Hi, wow what a HUGE job. Done very well. I'm just a female older home owner. What it is you are spraying on after power washing. The white sudsy stuff. Thanks for the video! Good job Susan from Indiana

Well you do a great job, that's why we have you back! ... (Our house) 👍

As a tradie in this field . I can imagine the time and effort spent for this .

What did you do after lunch ? Cracking job you earned your corn my friend .

Ques: are the cleaning chemicals harmful to the plants and grass? Thinking of cleaning my drive and patio but I have a pretty nice lawn!

Do you think you use less hypo with the x jet ? I still watering can it on. Steve- Driveclean- Scunthorpe.
