I've Never Seen This Before... First Clean of The Year, Can I Fix It?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

First half roof job - Second half is a new year update + boiler service. Hope you guys enjoy. I've came across roofs with wearing coating before but this is a first for me with that much left on it, very odd for a roof of 20 odd years old, none of the other roofs on that road built at the same time have had the issue.

[@2wwwilly]

Poor batch of improperly fired tiles ..😅😅😅😢😢

[@2wwwilly]

Do you need to reproofing the tiles . .water based sealant coating like the tennis court coating . 😂😂

[@Bazza175]

I came across this before cleaning a roof a few months back the lady had got roof cleaning done years ago they painted the roof in the cold weather and the paint stain everywhere instead of waiting until the spring/summer

[@mark77193]

Looks to me like the roof was painted after installation. Seen this myself where the factory coating had an issue, and the manufacturer got out of doing a reroof under warranty, by painting the tiles. Note how the edges of the patches line up from one tile to the next.

Happy you're back Sid! Your progress and journey is incredible. Less than 3 years you went from 1k subs to almost 200k, and your business has grown from just you and a work van to you, employees, multiple work vans that are branded with their own systems in the back and consistent work. Not only has your channel and business grown, but your family too. Its incredible man, truly inspiring. I look forward to seeing you hit 200k this year!

[@Lizzmonsterr]

We're proud of Sid 🫶🏻

[@isabellerininger6249]

My favorite part was you pointing out all the clean roofs and your future goals. Love it!! Great job!!

[@renearee6535]

You are amazing. I pressure washed by (large ) deck and railings and the support beams today. Now I can't move. You are just amazing.

[@haggielady]

I'm so sorry you lost your aunt, my condolences Sid. Glad you got your act together and put up a board to see what you are doing. And started digital record keeping. Much easier and more than one person can update it. I love going along on your journey through work and a bit of your life, it's interesting and as you said before, something for you to look back on.

[@EvinMA]

Thanks for sharing. The mustache looks great. It’s your business and you have to be front and center. Don’t try to get too big too fast. You have your reputation to maintain. My condolences on your Auntie.

[@morganalori]

Great job getting your work books sorted and computerized. Glad you've found a good solution to keeping your sanity with the financials. Great start to this new year. Look forward to all you share. Don't beat yourself up too much. We have faith in you. Thanks for your hard work and interesting content

[@HuntsChris]

The roof tile is made of concrete with a factory applied colour coating to make it look like slate, the coating is delaminating due to weather. The unevenness of delaminating suggests either a defect or poor manufacturing process.

[@johnstevenson2890]

Well done again, mum said well done this morning on Facebook,she was the 1st to comment, this is my contribution on KZbin, good luck, Scotland.

[@DJ_Sycottic]

I'm so sorry about your aunt, my best friend of more than 40 years and housemate died suddenly just before Christmas and it was his funeral yesterday. It has broken me. So I know what you're going through Sid, hope your year gets better (happy new year just doesn't seem right).

[@joeandjudygreen5398]

Glad you’re getting your business plan organized. Better year ahead.

[@StarGazerNytz]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

[@denises9426]

So sorry for the loss of your Aunt. Great video as always Sid. Wishing you continued success! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@alrichmond4341]

Nice job, and here's wishing you a prosperous 2024. Nice 'tache too, although can't help thinking would look even better you introduced this vid on a horse.

[@squeakymoma]

Just now seeing this video. So sorry about your Aunt. I lost my Aunt back in June and it's been very hard adjusting to her being gone. You and your family have my sincerest sympathy.

[@wacholder5690]

@ 10:33 ... proud like a village doctor on the cemetry ... "Look: all my works ...!" ;-) You did a good job and it is something to be proud of. Welcome to a hopefully good 2024 - not only working-wise. Thanks for sharing !

[@davidosborne777]

Sorry for the loss of your aunt, Sid. :( My prayers are with you and your family.

[@LaurelFay]

Condolences on your loss 😢Keep your head up; you’re doing fabulous work. Your family is lucky to have you!

[@AngusHenry09]

New year, new start. Glad things coming together for you. Condolences on losing your aunt.

[@haydenuk02]

Sorry for your loss Sid. Awesome work cheers for the video take care

[@TheARGblue]

The great thing is you learned from last year and going forward you have set yourself up for greater success! I'm so sorry for your loss and the way you learned of your Aunties passing.

[@dubbzi]

Love the more personal style of video

[@nancythomas1954]

That was sure a weird roof. The front and back and garage tiles came out really nice. And the driveway came out really nice too, I think? I like your music 😁 That is what it is all about, learning month by month what works for you and getting organized. It makes life so much easier in the long run. Take care of you. See you next time!!

[@alisonmoffitt1051]

You wouldn't be the first bloke who reckoned he could retire at 30. You'd be bored to sobs and you have far to much to contribute in all the good you do. It's an honourable thing to work and we are designed for it.

[@airedale1913]

Really sorry about your aunt Sid, that's a big shock. Glad you're getting yourself organised though, it's a pain now but so much better in the long run. You've expanded massively the last year or so it's not surprising you're struggling to organise! But you'll get there. Keep safe, and warm!

[@alibuolayyan9038]

Hi From Kuwait . Very good mustaches. keep it

[@denisewoods6389]

Great job hope you and the family are doing ok

[@themiraballoft1725]

Amazing. Hope one day I can do it myself

[@karenrediker2449]

My condolences my your aunt rest in peace

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

thank you karen

[@chasetonga]

It should be required in the US, that if you live in areas of high hurricane and tornado frequency, homes should be made of brick and roof tiles. Those houses look solid.

[@stefaniecawley218]

Praying for you Sid, it's definitely been crazy here too lately. We just had a long wintry, snowy, rainy, windy storm come through (Northeast US), my Dad got rear ended. They were diverting traffic off the overpass due to an accident with a car on fire. My dad was waiting in line on off ramp, some lady hit him. My daughter's boyfriend's mom just died. Not under good/peaceful circumstances. They are coming up for dinner tomorrow. I definitely need a huge dose of organization. So thank you for calling me up on that! I'm going to work on that right now. Great video as always! Long time fan!

[@adria89]

11:32 you have reminded me of the chimney sweep scenes from Mary Poppins 😂

[@aquamwoman55]

You do a tremendous job, much attention to detail!

[@lhmcd5538]

It’s terrible when you loose a family member unexpectedly. I give you my deepest condolences on the loss of your aunt. Please look after yourself and your beauties. You have done great work as usual. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

[@lindadefoe6114]

Like the stash! Have to call you Rip from now on!

[@mleys3248]

Thank you for your videos. I am learning a lot from them, how to use a pressure washer, how to afterwards clean the walls and push forward the soiled water, let the debris rest a little so that the water can drain from it before putting it in the bin. The only thing I had to learn by experience, by waking up the next morning with one eye shut, is to wear PROTECTIVE GLASSES. I am 53 and I bought my first ever pressure washer. I went with a second hand pressure washer from Kranzle 2160 TST, beast of a domestic use machine. I got too ethousiastic and something flew up in my eye. But nothing three days and nights of terramycine polymyxine b ointment couldn't heal. I just got a little warning, so not too bad. But for every highpressure washer user out there : WERE PROTECTIVE GLASSES pretty please. 🙂

[@larryfeeks6620]

The roof turned out rather nicely, I think.

[@kittykats20]

Happy new year sid to you and your family. Great video as always. Sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt, thoughts go out to you all.

[@leeedwards9994]

great job the mottled look with the coating issue almost looks factory looks nice ......

[@beckysmith2678]

Sorry for your loss, prayers & thoughts to you and the family. Those guys at the shop are AWESOME so glad they got you fixed up. I enjoy your videos too! I'm from Fort Worth TX and of course seeing tiled roofs on every house is weird, always wondered why not asphalt shingles.....

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Nice when you've been responsible for so many places improved in care (roofs in the area). Is there such a thing as a renewal coating for roofs? Good update on how biocides work in cold weather. Excellent the owners are going to do the paving at the same time. It will look very nice. (Wishing a longer window scraper for you, for icy mornings.)

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

It’s something I may look into one day, I’ve been tempted in past, tons of colours to choose from too. It’s just a whole new thing that I can’t get time for until the cleaning runs like clockwork without me doing it as much as- one day, some day :)

[@sylviasaunders8406]

Happy new year Sid to you and your loved ones. Condolences to you upon the passing of your Aunt. Especially difficult at this time of the year. Enyoyed your video as always. Sid you have made amazing progress with your company. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished thus far. Don't look back and say "should have done that this way, or this that way. What is important is that you found areas you can make changes and are addressing them. You have a busy life with your beautiful wife and children and are doing your best. You have a lot of friends out here who are and always will support you. We have your back

[@Knight-Night]

you are doing amazing!!!! never let anyone tell you different!

[@marydalton5752]

Welcome back! The break went so fast! It feels great to be organized, doesn't it? You'll be so much happier now! Sorry to hear about your aunt! Life is going so fast we just can't do everything we say we're going to do because there's not enough hours in a day. We just do the best we can. I make it a point to contact a friend or group of friends once a month to get together so we don't lose touch like we did in the past. Happy New Year to you & your family!

Happy new year Sidney, that roof looks like it has had an aftermarket paint/coating applied, one of my neighbours had their roof done in a terracotta colour because they 'wanted a change' and couldn't afford a new roof, it looked horrible and started peeling just like the tiles on your job within a year!

Let’s talk about how lucky you are to be able to clean a roof in January, I’m up in the highlands of Scotland and it’s -7 degrees, no Roof cleans for us for the foreseeable 😢👎, cracking job pal, well done 👍

Hahahaha,great moustache,hell on wheels was a great show

[@Inatehigger113]

4:10 whats that attachment/hose? the pressure while being able to extend the pole is amazing i cant find the name/brand of that & it would help me & my guys not falling off a roof during roof washes, im familiar with flex water fed poles but never seen one with a pressure washer hose in it, looks very efficient!

What chemical would you recommend to softwash Cotswold stone? Just bought a house and one wall is nearly black, tried to jet was a test patch but that wasn't ideal. Thanks in advance

IF your bones hurt try this: stop eating junk food with seed oils (omega 6) and start eating good stuff + omega 3 (fish for example) . Lots of vitamin d3+k2 . Cut our sugars, and you are good to go.

[@Maximusrex4575]

I wonder if that test patch on the driveway was done without permission. I have seen some people do that in the hope that now that it sticks out the home owner would be forced to pay them to clean the rest.

[@stevee8920]

Nice to see that you are starting to work smart. All the hard work you do will amount to nothing if you don’t have the correct infrastructure in place at the back end, getting help from your partner is a smart move, if you add her as an employee you can offset some of your wages onto her, this will enable you to pay less tax and still bring into the family home more income, it will also alleviate some of the pressure you are under. You can’t do it all yourself. The worst part of being a perfectionist is letting go. However, trying to do everything yourself will mean you are chasing your tail constantly. You are taking calls and emails whilst working on a job, this means that by the time you get home you have potentially forgotten who you need to call, your tired both physically and mentally and that doesn’t make for sound business decisions. If I was you (assuming your partner can do it, or hire someone to do it ) is have your phone diverted to that 3rd party, let them plan your diary, arrange for you to quote etc, that way when you do get home you can enjoy your family and know what is planned for the next day/week/month. Sid you will burn out if you carry on as you are, you are bloody good at what you do but as your business has expanded and become successful you need to have the back office support to enable that to continue. It’s hard to let go but I promise you if you do and you put the right people in place you will find a healthy work life balance and your family will have more quality time with you. Just my thoughts for what they are worth 👍🇬🇧

[@EyseaSol]

My thoughts exactly. It's not easy growing a business, and I really don't know of any expanding business that doesn't have someone on admin. =D

[@OperationDarkside]

I expected a lot this year, but not a moustache.

[@becca1927]

Get something like Jobber it cover your appointments etc

[@zeusricochant7357]

Sometimes if the pressure is to much it will take the coating off. I never use a power washer or anything like that. I always Scrape it off with a trowel. You do sometimes get a bad batch of tiles aswell

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Even with max pressure you'd have a hard time getting it off but could definitely take a little away. With the pressure settings we use we couldn't take any off even if I tried to, as you've seen on this video - even currently degrading coating won't come away. You'd have to sandblast it to actually get it all off, or just wait another 5-10 years and let the weather do its thing

[@zeusricochant7357]

​@@PartridgeExteriorCleaninghats off to you tho. You seem to be smashing it 👌

[@simonwaring2336]

I’ve tried and tested this method. Had some spare tiles and did tests. Even at 250 bar you never going to shift the coating off roof tiles. Proper roof cleaners use 80-100 bar . I’ve heard loads of Roofers say it will strip the coating which is just bull****. Mind you Roofers would rather replace a roof at 30k rather than have roof cleaners in at less than 10% of that price. Watch all the roofers give me some abuse now 😊. Keep doing what you’re doing Sid. Excellent work 👌🏻

[@zeusricochant7357]

@@simonwaring2336 probably more money in jobbing jobs tbh. Never heard of a roofer saying that a roof needs replacing because of moss 😂😂. A roof needs replaced if the tiles are pourous and have holes in them or if the roof is nail sick

[@highpath4776]

Problems with rooves these days. More Moss due to warmer, wetter, years , but then less cracking due to frost. More litchen due to cleaner air - less soot and sulphur from coal burning industry and homes. Wearing coatings might be from vehicle emission pollutants disolved in rain (just an idea)

[@itsmuldoon22]

Hiya mate, nice video.. I work for a guttering company and we've been doing roof's for a few years now using telescopic poles and Biocide treatment.. currently looking into steam cleaning but our concerns are the amount of water pressure applied to the roofs. Out of curiosity, how much would you normally quote for a house like this excluding the garage.

[@bobniehaus5053]

Love your videos! One suggestion is to use a clip on remote microphone when in the truck. The truck noise makes it hard to hear you.

[@2wwwilly]

Every job you learn something..thats what you call experiences. ..😂😂

[@RumblerGaming]

Hey sid been a fan of the channel for a while, was wondering if you had any advice for me.. I pressure wash my grans stairs for her as she has badly blocked gutters that we can't access, they leak algae etc all over the stairs so it builds up quick. Would GK pro work for stopping this from coming back? I wash the stairs and then within a month they are already almost fully green again, it's not a pretty sight

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Probably not if it’s constantly getting dirty water dripped, are you in the uk? We may be able to sort the gutters for her

[@RumblerGaming]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning I am! but I'm up in Scotland, I think the council would do it but getting them to do anything is like winning the lottery. Thanks for your reply either way, I can see if I can somehow clean the gutters but, I doubt it

[@aladarmezga4942]

awesome moustache

[@russ3994]

Yes Sid more work less chat !! HA🤣 Happy new year more of the same great video's enjoy watching what you get up to Sid !!

[@joeroad6618]

What is the deciding factor as to whether you use the surface cleaner or the nozzle on the roof?

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Valleys & awkward reaches will mean I’ll usually just turbo it - anything easily reachable and large I’ll just use the surface cleaner. Both nozzles use different pressures to run well along with different angles which is why I don’t switch them out while I’m up there 👍

[@OfficialSamuelC]

The roof of your van needs a lil pressure washing haha

[@NORMIESAXON]

Cool video's! I'm just curious what method for roof cleaning is best for a beginner roof cleaner and what is the necessary equipment for said method and what pressure washer is best to buy as a beginner who can't get the top of the line yet but doesn't want to buy the most bottom of the barrel gear that'll break in 5 minutes and can't get a job done either? Cheers.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Definitely a good start is just manually scraping with telescopic poles & following up with a biocide treatment. It'll get the same results as steam near enough just take about 6-12 months for the treatment to work its full magic. You'll learn your way around a roof and identify common problems. Will set you up nicely for steam/pressure washing enabling you to start that job with decent knowledge of how to clean a roof effectively.

[@NORMIESAXON]

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@eleidal]

the moustache is killer. you rock.

[@MCFCtreble]

Do you use the gk pro dose demon is it worth getting

[@yourcleanerwindows6969]

Happy new year. Good to have you back. Any reason why you used the turbo nozzle on the house but flat surface cleaner on the garage.

[@thumper1747]

Garage was cleaned from the ground and keeping the turbo consistently above the tiles would be near impossible whereas the surface cleaner can rest on the tiles.
