What The Heck!! 🤷🏻‍♂️ What's Going On?? Our Perspex Bike Shelter Roof Is All SLIMY & RED!!

#prestigeexternalcleaning #satisfying #satisfyingcleaningvideo
Welcome back another video. This was a job I did for a commercial customer recently. They called me in to see If I could remove the red colouration that had formed on their staffs bike shelter perspex roof.
Due to the roof not having any adequate drainage, and the perspex dipping in-between the framework of the structure, this caused rain water to form shallow pools, this then allowed algae to grow in the water, which was more than likely accelerated by the many trees that are present along the line and next to the bike shelters. Unfortunately the only way I can see them being able to fix this, is either add more frame supports, to prevents the perspex from dipping and collecting water, or swap the perspex over to a much thicker, more rigid sheet.
I have informed the customer of this, and i'll leave it with them to decide what to, but if they do nothing, I guess i'll just be back here again next year to do it all over again 😁.
Hope you enjoy this satisfying pressure washing & soft washing transformation, Nick.👍

You can thank whoever designed and built that shelter for the recurring business. Something so simple, and yet so important , as overlooked drainage causing an ongoing maintenance nightmare.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Interesting... It's like they installed the panels backwards! (Note that there is no such ridge along the front of the panels.) If they had just turned them around, everything could drain easily off the back...

[@giovannacasadio9600]

And there wouldn't have been the issue with the algi

[@gregfinley7308]

Good observation, clearly an assembly error.

[@jenlea9095]

Was just pausing to comment and saw yours stating exactly what I was thinking :)

[@TheTaff224]

I was about to say the same thing - they have the roof panels on backwards.

[@charoa7089]

Y así es como no deben instalarse unos paneles, vaya chapuza. Tendrán que volver a llamar a los chicos de PEC para limpiarlos otra vez en un par de meses

[@Corvidae65]

That's quite a design flaw for that type of structure--no drainage. No wonder the algae grows prolifically on the perspex panels.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Absolutely ❤️

[@karenheartoriginal3783]

OMGosh! That was really a red mess caused by backward-installed panels. Standing ovation for how beautifully they turned out due to your wisdom and skills. Also it was very thoughtful for you to give the neighboring cars a wash…that’s integrity at its finest! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

So kind of you Karen, thanks so much 🥰

Poor design, what a shame. You did a great job!💜💜💜

It's January, 2024, and I thought, "Why not go back and watch some of Nick's older videos?". Nice work. Made my day more enjoyable.

[@mishkawp8200]

Terrible design! Amazing that they installed it when it should have been obvious that it would end up with pools sitting on top. Looks fantastic now - great job Nick.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

I was thinking exactly the same thing 🥰. Thanks for your kind words Mishka ❤️

Yes, very soothing choices for musical accompaniment, I enjoyed watching it immensely. And yes agree with another commenter that the roofing was installed backwards from the intended installation.

[@katrinaturner4933]

The people how installed this and the manufacturer should have to come back and correct the problem so simple a job and they cocked it up

[@shqa574]

Every new video, I think that it is a harder job than the last one I watched. This one takes the cake. This job was complex and high risk. The end result was awesome. I hope you made a price adjustment for the complexity of the job, that included your high level aerial skills and the lack of drainage. You can audition for a Cirque du Soleil aerial water act. The construction people or the roof designers were obviously lueless. The brick backwall looks like it could do with a pressure washing, btw.

Amazing job.. It’s looks so much better..I enjoy your work.. Some algae can pit glass and thus it’s hard to remove this junk.. Perhaps the whole glass roof needs a 1-2% pitch to stop the water from puddling.. Keep making the videos.. Your working is amazing..

Hard to believe that red algae peacefully dwelling on the perspex panels could bring such relaxing and soothing aquarelle experience, almost resembling Kandinsky circles by it's shape and depth of colour.

Talk about a design fault Nick! Anyway you made a great job of course, the Perspex was squeaky clean.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

Hmm. Noting: maybe some moss to the back side on equipment; Then, there is no protection to the adjacent property vehicles while cleaning; the back brick has two colors and the lower half may need cleaning. Engineering wise, tipping the roof more wouldn't necessarily help, due to the back lip and no drainage system so far. Someone noted the top panel may have been put on backwards, raised front lip to the back. What I don't see is even if the water is drained off the roof, how and where is it going to be carried away...? Also you seem to have found colored bricks on the top of the brick wall. Just a fun find. Kind of you to wash off the vehicles next door. I've noted that videoing from below can be a nice technique when cleaning things as this bike area, coverings over school play areas, etc. Nice you were able to make this job look good and we got a chance to see you dealing with unexpected variables.

What an aweful design oô How can people come up with something that bad... nice work though, you still did it diligently despite quoting rather low I guess since it seemed simple. You are cool^^ Even with sound effect? Are you trying out fan service or what? Did you do that last shot while walking on that thin wall?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

🤣🤣🤣 love this comment Tatjana. I had only noticed the plumbers crack shot quite late in the edit, and considered taking it out, but then thought, maybe i'll just have a laugh with it 😆. 🫢 yes, guilty. That was a bit irresponsible of me for sure, but I really wanted that shot. Probably not worth falling of and hurting myself for though I know 🤦🏻‍♂️. I won't do that again, I promise 🥰

It ended up looking beautiful and sparkly! I wonder if they could just cut some slots or drill some holes along the bottom in the frame at the back for drainage? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Otherwise, maybe you should have just scheduled them now for May! 😂

[@user-qp2ec2od3y]

Those came up a treat! What a poor design though. Did the leaves breaking down sitting on the perspex give the red type of algae? Enjoyed the music in this one!

Yes I agree with you, that is more than likely the cause 👍. Thanks for the great feedback 👍

[@elainegregory5308]

I assume you quoted for the algae’s removal & you did that. I wouldn’t have gone further than that. I’d also advise them that because of the faulty design it will reoccur. 🤷‍♀️

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Yes they were advised

[@AlphaviewWindowcleaning]

They look brand new mate. Wonder how long they will stay like that though with no drainage for the water? Be a nice recurring job for you if they don’t sort that out lol

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Nice one dude ✊

[@EngelsNederfiele]

Looking at that structure, a considerable amount of extra work for you because of either a bad design or the installation fitting the roof on the wrong way around, Must be quite demoralising when any chance of a profit slips away because an initial poor construction. Without scaling a ladder there would have been no way to see that fault before quoting.

[@pamlongwhite4747]

What a terrible design flaw. Thank goodness it didn’t stop you from making it look wonderful !

[@kaylaterreygirard9095]

Are sure this wasn’t some sort of concoction from Halloween? Honestly, I have never seen red color algae before in my entire life. To me, this looks like blood, or red+orange jello water dropped in balloons for fun or soft of pranks, though I wouldn’t want that touching my bike or myself.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Lol, yeah I know what you mean Kayla, thanks for your comment 🙂😍

[@brotoubrotou3164]

Why don’t they have the company return to make it right. That would be a lawsuit in the states waiting to happen. Along with the video of all that nasty algae it should be an easy win.
