Re-Sanding A Block Paved Pathway In The Wet 😮....YOU CAN'T DO THAT!..🚫....Can You??

#prestigeexternalcleaning #drivewaycleaning #satisfying
This was a job I carried out last week for a previous customer. Their main driveway is permeable block paving, that requires re-gritting instead of re-sanding, and can be cleaned and gritted easily in either wet or dry weather.
Their block paved pathway was the more commonly used type that requires re-sanding. Now the usual way of re-sanding block paving is to wait until the blocks are completely dry then top up the sand using kiln dried paving sand. This can obviously be a problem come Autumn and winter
But......if you get caught out by the weather, there is another way.....wet sanding. You end up using more sand than if applying it dry, there's more waste, and it takes longer, but if you need to get a job finished because winter and the wet weather has taken hold, this is certainly an option, and it WORKS! You can indeed get the job completed, and get PAID 💰

Nick you never stop amazing me 😂. I’ve started asking customers to pay for the clean when job is done and then the sanding when that’s done as sometimes it can take over a week to get it sanded. I had no idea you could do this. I have 3 jobs booked in this week all driveways and I’ve been hoping the weather will hold out for it.

[@Corryoncleaning]

I’m really hoping you do a video trying this out…👍

[@Weirjetwashing]

@@Corryoncleaning don’t think I’m experienced enough mate 😂

[@Corryoncleaning]

@@Weirjetwashing ha! I just thought you might give it a go

[@Weirjetwashing]

@@Corryoncleaning I might mate. I have a job tomorrow I could try it if it’s wet 👍🏻

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Lol, cheers dude, glad to have shown you something new. This way will never replace good old dry sanding, but might get you out of a tight spot, and get you paid if needed, thanks again mate 👍❤️

[@valeriesinnett4031]

You've done a beautiful job as usual. Who knew you could sand it wet. I'm glad you showed it. Thanks 😊

[@johnbrooks9151]

Never seen wet sanding done before, thanks for the lesson and education,,,, always a good thing to learn something new every day. Take care Nick. 😎

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Big thanks John 👍

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

Who knew?!?!?!? 😲 In today's episode, I learned about wet sanding and grit. Although I think you did grit in another video, I do not think I have ever seen the wet sanding. And while it looks fabulous....it seems like a lot more work. You turned a green driveway/path into a red one. 🧙🏼‍♂ You're a wizard, Nick. Fabulous job!!!! 🌟 Just watching you do the sanding, made me want to fly over there and run the hose behind you to help you finish the job before it got dark. 😉 Another outstanding job on the books. Thanks for sharing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Aw so kind as usual, thank you so much Denise ❤️

[@AM-ss9he]

Bloody good job, under hard circumstances. I was worried about you doing the sanding, wet, to be honest. Good job.

[@alstalbs2265]

What an outstanding job as usual Nick! That looked like hard work I have to say. Shame you ran out just at that very last bit! Thanks very much for the upload, have a great week! :)

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hey Al, year it was a bit of a pain, but thankfully only a small bit, so won't take long to sort out. Thanks again mate 👍

[@almilhouse9059]

Nick you never cease to amaze..... Love your work and your attention to detail and attitude to getting it done and rightly done, no cutting corners..... I know I'm across the pond but I'm seriously contemplating giving this a go as to get away from driving buses, it has me broke up at the moment with sciatica and few other bits but I'm working hard on weight loss and I can't see myself going back as at itnear 20 years and I'm just not able to deal with the public and the stresses anymore...... Obviously been out of action I'm buggered on having zero funds but it honestly something I'd love to do as I use to be at cars doing interior etc but just not able for all that bending in tight places.... It's something I find so satisfying is the transformation and it's just in my head I really really want to give it a go..... Thinking when I can of likes of gutter vac, extension pole or poles, brush, better jet washer then my fairly new K4 premium, van big enough to carry the gear and get cracking hopefully some time in the new year..... Great work Nick. Love the videos

[@timothypirnat3754]

Wow, the color really pops when the pavers are clean. Beautiful red in front of the garage doors.

[@mishkawp8200]

Fantastic job. Very educational too - whilst not ideal to have to wet sand at least it means you can continue to do driveways in the wetter months.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Aw cheers Mishka ❤️

[@sandrashelton3418]

Thanks for showing wet sanding great job

What a beautiful silver Jaguar X351 on the drive at the beginning of the video... I have one myself... superb car.

[@polgarauk5606]

Yep that was one very dirty driveway and path 😂 Excellent and meticulous job as always Nick and I get to kearn a new thing (not that I am ever going to do this 😂 but always good to learn). Hope you and the family are having a lovely weekend and hope you have a great week this week. Love and hugs to you all from oop North 🤗🤗

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hey Polgara, we're all good thanks, I hope the same to you too. Such lovely words as ever, thanks so much ❤️

Naturally you can do it, Nick! Brilliant!

Mind of that job. Great idea about the wet sand. It’s a nightmare trying to get sand in and to be paid for jobs just now in the North of Scotland

[@PushingPressureLTD]

Completely in shock! Wet sanding that’s amazing bro

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks mate

[@tonicorona5277]

So sorry you ran out of grit and had to go back! Lovely job!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks so much Toni 😊

[@CatLoverX74]

Yay a pavement clean! Don’t get me wrong I like your roof cleaning but I enjoy pavement cleaning better 😂 It really needed cleaning too! That was a lot of moss and I could see why they wanted it done, but I understand why it’s usually a spring and summer job. I had no idea you could do wet sanding. It’s unfortunate it uses more sand and takes longer but it came out looking awesome. Too bad you ran out of grit with just a small surface left to do. Amazing job as always Nick ❤

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

🥰😊

[@lauriewilt2622]

Dude! They all totally need you to redo their drives.

[@sue1190]

Need to do our front path and driveway too, thought it was too late in the year, but now I think I will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the video 👍

[@gwendolynross1674]

I know the wet sanding is a pain, but I like the way it looks. Nick has mad skills

[@terriesbrook]

whew! i'm glad you eventually heard me sitting here telling you to save your lungs & mask up nick 😂 you had me worried lol

[@barbarellamaclure8382]

I never knew about wet sanding, just thought you had to wait for a sunny day. I learn from you every new video, great work. Thank you Nick - watching from New Zealand.

[@David-zf5ex]

I know it's the harder way, but it does fill the joints properly instead of doing it dry which is a lot easier but after it gets wet half the sand sinks so the joint was never properly full till wet..

[@marcrodinger4144]

Nicely done. To slurry those pavings is very effective.

[@Corryoncleaning]

Great work as always. Want to try the wet sanding but if you don’t like it then I know I’m going to get myself in a mess! Thanks Nick

Many thanks Andrew, cheers mate 👍

[@detailgrandma22]

This is a dumb question but I'm new here and couldn't find an explanation. Why do you use the yellow bin for water rather than a water source? Great job!

[@Davesjetwashing]

Great job done there Nick👍

Cheers mate 👍

@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Re-sanding is a really difficult this time of the year, wet sanding is the only way, but as you know, it’s a real pain

[@richardhenderson9126]

Another job with a great result Nick! 👏 The old "wet sanding" debate: seen vids of it done before in US but never really tried it - got a little FOC job to do for an elderly lady on Saturday morning, having just watched you think I'll probably do this to save me nipping back to re-sand what is a fairly small area. Cheers mate! 😉😁

Awesome, cheers Rich ❤️

Just what I need to view. Got a blockpave next week.and no for a fact rains going to be all week

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hope it helps mate 👍

[@craigglaister882]

​@PrestigeExternalCleaning did the wet sand like I said. This video helped loads. I think I find it easier in the wet. Aslong as it's not steep to wash out.

[@yips_way]

That path was a right mess, whoever laid it must have let their apprentice loose on it. Looked much better once it had been cleaned & resanded as it masked the misaligned fitting somewhat 👍

[@IsoPreP089]

Amazing work again Nick wish you would leave the music out of the video and just use the sound of the machine!!! ❤❤❤

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

I hear you mate, but when I don't put music in people say the opposite of what you've just said. It's impossible to please everybody, so now I just go half music and half machine sounds 👍

[@IsoPreP089]

@@PrestigeExternalCleaning sounds good Nick I know it’s hard!! Amazing work as always, absolutely love your videos!!

[@werdna21]

Great video… time manhours spent using a nozzle on block paving is unreal for me. I seriously need to get a mossmatic. What pressure washing machine do you use?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

I was using a 21lpm Honda on this video mate 👍

[@robertcushney3174]

what is surfactant , this is all new to me but very interesting

[@markyb2512]

It aids the SH to stick to the surface better

[@almilhouse9059]

It works like a soap, there are 3 types, alcohol based, soap detergent type and can't think of the other, it's as said above to create the soaping affect to get the chemical to linger for longer to give the best results

[@colingray7107]

Top quality Nick 👏👏👏

[@NailahRoberts]

Do you think that the sand that claims to stop weeds growing is any good or is regular spraying with round up better?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Round up all day long, that stuff's just a gimmick 👍

[@divscuba7096]

why use grit and not sand?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Because it’s permeable block paving, google it

[@Binliner]

What size is the grit?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

1-3mm

[@user-lz2jf4ec9c]

Can I ask please where about are you in the country?
