As a roofer I’ll never agree to doing this to your roof as it takes the protective layer off the tile and you can drive water up and behind the tile. My parents next door neighbour done theirs and now it’s full of damp
It’s so good when you have drains that work at the first house as it must make such a difference for you. It looks outstanding and there is so much more colour than murky green. The roof looks so pretty with the terracotta clean. It is a beautiful job you have done. Excellent Sid. Excellent. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
I love the example of integrity that you show. ("Let deeds, not words, be your adorning". - Baha'i Faith) So important that our actions speak louder than words. It's one of the reasons I love to watch your channel - also, my cat likes to watch as well. lol
You should find a way to rig a soft non marking round ball type wheel on an adjustable spring mount to help support the pole when its way out. would save your back and arms too.
Always love watching your videos Sid, such a huge difference once you’ve completed a pressure wash. Roofs are great but frightening to watch, always scared you are so high up, whilst decks, paths, patios come up like new. Dad is still with you and now training a new employee, good on you. Hope you are fully recovered with your hand, blessings to you and your family. Australia 🇦🇺
Honesty is always the best policy, and it pays off…usually! So glad the customer didn’t make a fuss about the broken tile. And now you know that a bit more training of your students is required for them to really understand the procedures. Glad you’re having nice summer weather where you are and can enjoy the outdoors! Thanks for another great video.
Love you Sid! Thank you for your explanations on roof cleaning etc. Nice to see you training up new people, which means you have come a long way in a short time. Also you are loved, respected and admired for your work ethic etc. God bless you and your family. Have a great weekend.
I love how you never forget to clean the windows at the end. I love seeing those sun rooms with the glass ceilings getting cleaned. Even better than a mossy patio.
Sid, terrific that you get to be out doing in person quotes again, that personal touch is so important, I’m sure business will be even busier soon. You’re gonna have a fleet of vans here soon!
I had always scraped and used a biocide treatment afterwards. Within the past few months I got a conversion kit for my ova 8 a 12 inch fsc and a turbo nozzle. The 1st few cleans I thought was going to kill me. Using all sorts of muscles I didn't know was there. Have got use to it now and have gotten up to a really good pace on them. But long story short, I stumbled into this video just before I got the kit delivered and your advice has always stuck in my head. I've cleaned about 10-15 roofs since and haven't broken a tile yet so thank you for that. 🎉🎉🎉
First. I've watched it now. Well done Sid especially on that red roof. Looks brand new. Not easy for new guys to pick up all the tips and quirks in just a few days. I can see that here's lots to learn and I'm sure that you are a good & patient teacher. Have a great weekend.
That roof looks amazing. Spectacular difference between before and after. Well done! The driveway looked brand new once you’d finished. I bet the customer was thrilled.
Always, always - being honest goes a long way to build your reputation; that means good reviews, referrals, and repeat customers. You do a great job on that score, Sid.
If you need to take a break then you should do that. Men in their 20s seem to have the tendency to run themselves ragged and it does no one any good. Regarding the broken tile, would you be able to build a mini practice roof for your employees to practice on? Not anything super huge, maybe a square meter or two? That way they can get a feel for the pole without the pressure of it being another person's property? This would also let them practice as much as they needed to until they (at least) remember to brace before taking their foot off the pedal.
Both jobs turned out great! And you are right about mistakes and honesty. It is going to happen no matter what, so you just stand behind your work and people and fix it. People respect that. Your schedule is looking a bit crazy, be sure to take care of yourself and your team. Stay safe.
You are one of the most honest people around Sid,its all a learning curve and we all have to start somewhere and as the old saying gos "we learn by our mistakes". You are a good teacher
Amazing work and things happen and accidents happen but you just have to own up and be honest with the customer and everything will be alright. That’s one of many reason why I love watching yours videos Sid your honest and show truly what goes on in that line of work. Thanks for taking us along and have a great week ahead of you.
Hey man, great reveals, great explanations, GREAT WORK ETHIC 👌. Whoever trains under you is lucky to learn from the best. And as you say, you learn from your mistakes. Pure entertainment watching your videos ❤️.
I love how the roof and driveway looks after your done cleaning them. I can't believe how much algae grows in England. But knowing that the weather is similar to Seattle Washington, USA. It makes sense, lots of rain and little sunshine makes a lot of algae. Great job as always.
My reaction when I saw Sid uploaded another video: Yes! I wonder what he broke this time... Great work! Always enjoyable to see beautiful environments after the cleaning. It helps my mental health.
And it was fortunate that the damaged tile highlighted the need for extra training occurred on this particular job, rather than another one. As the customer was getting a roofer in anyway to fix other issues, it was fairly straightforward to rectify the mistake. The red roof looked absolutely stunning after it was cleaned, by the way.
Amazing Sid, honesty is the best policy. Great video with great results, you always give you’re best and now passing it on to your employees! Well Done Sid!
I really love watching you cut in the edges, the sound of the wand going and the water splashing no music it’s the best. Consider doing more music and narration free videos 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Do you do more real time content on your other channel, can’t really see the cleaning when it’s sped up throughout so much especially when there’s alot of distance between the camera and the cleaning!
I'm just now watching and it's Saturday. Hurray, another one on Sunday. The first job came out spectacularly! The second one the roof was dirty that it looked amazing.
LOL I am going to have to slow your videos down so I can understand you!!🤣😂😂🤣 Love to see you so busy and happy! I miss your longer videos and actually seeing the process, but time is money and I understand. Hope this finds you and yours happy and healthy. Take care, see you next time!
Thanks for the tip. I’m just starting out doing my first big roof this week. Ive been practicing today. But my biggest headache like all who are self employed is seeking out the customers, but I’m sure in time it will happen especially the more work I do. And more experience also.
Great work! I was wondering, whats the difference between scraping/biocide treating and pressure washing a roof? Why dont you just pressure wash all of it :D?
what if you had an attached wheel on the long pole while doing the roof which would prevent you from damaging any more tiles and also, i'm sure it would take some of the load from you holding it the whole time. yes the wheel would have to be soft material as to not damage the tiles. just an idea.
Awesome video! Would love to see more voice over. Be good to get the viewers to ask you questions on the video before and answer them in the newest video! Great work though!!
i have the same surface cleaner. Mine is called turbo devil. Its good, but if the ceramic fails its gonna cost you about 300 quid. Keep it clean on the inside. Cheers.
when you are working with the roof poles. why don't you make the scaffolding do the lifting work? I don't know how to explain it well (I do have the idea in my head just not the words) but in short the idea is that it helps in carrying the wait and also if you would let go of said lance it will just stay hanging in the air just above the work surface.
I missed this one. Sorry, crew. Elias will get better. Can he practice with the long wand on floor tiles? The roof looks great. Nice of Julian to be so forgiving.
I’d love to know if you’re ever tempted to do “art” like drawing a smiley face on the roof before you clean the rest, or is there a risk it might still be visible afterwards? Also, can the sand blasted out of the cleaned paving ever be cleaned and recycled, or perhaps used for sandblasting machines? Thanks 😊
Honesty is the Best Policy, i have heard that saying and remembered it. Its not a saying that is popular in todays business world. Enjoyed all the videos since i have subscribed. thanks so much.
hi Sid love your channel - i am starting to pressure wash roofs with fsc and turbo nozzel - i have quesition in relation to how best to manage pressure hoses on the tower - ie if the hose pulls down it will take the tower with it
Hi Sid, love your work, amazing videos and work ethic. Could you possibly do an equipment video, where you get the equipment and how much it all costs for roof cleans as well? thnx
That technique is good to know. Would it help to have a counterweight to counter balance the pole or is that technique the only method? Great video and work!
Love your honesty Sid. Very interesting from a self employed business owner myself (totally different industries mind) how you deal with mistakes and customers. Great to hear. A question if you have time, for the roof section, why did you alternate between using the small spinning nozzle and the pan lid like tool? Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Hi sid i have been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoying them I am 25 and would like to set up my own business doing something similar to yourself but the cost of starting up is what are holding me back I have car but no van so can’t really carry around the water tank ect. With your experience of starting up from scratch do you have any advice for me? This is something I have thought about for a long time taking the jump away from steady employment to start out on my own any advice would be appreciated👍
Being honest is the key with any business
As a roofer I’ll never agree to doing this to your roof as it takes the protective layer off the tile and you can drive water up and behind the tile. My parents next door neighbour done theirs and now it’s full of damp

It's great that you are able to hire and train new people. Take the time to train them correctly & they will help your business grow.❤

Stunning colours afterwards on both jobs !!
You should find a way to rig a soft non marking round ball type wheel on an adjustable spring mount to help support the pole when its way out. would save your back and arms too.
Again deeply satisfying to watch,appreciate explanation of techniques and your very professional honest approach,
Roof cleaning is one of my favorites. Love your videos.
Great job. Errors happen, so glad you’ve got great clients. Good luck to your new employees !

Love the VoiceOver and narration very helpful
Cracking video, Sid 👍
Wow! I loved the result of the floor, that house also looks beautiful
Love you Sid! Thank you for your explanations on roof cleaning etc. Nice to see you training up new people, which means you have come a long way in a short time. Also you are loved, respected and admired for your work ethic etc. God bless you and your family. Have a great weekend.

Hey love ur content watching from the Caribbean what extending pole is this and how long can it strech out to?
And where can i get one?
I had always scraped and used a biocide treatment afterwards. Within the past few months I got a conversion kit for my ova 8 a 12 inch fsc and a turbo nozzle. The 1st few cleans I thought was going to kill me. Using all sorts of muscles I didn't know was there. Have got use to it now and have gotten up to a really good pace on them.

A small practice roof sounds like a really good idea!

You're making all the right moves. You got "new guys" now so your moving on up. Wasn't long ago you were just trying to buy some decent equipment.
Outstanding job!

Gorgeous house and they picked the best to clean it!! Awesome job guys!!
My reaction when I saw Sid uploaded another video: Yes! I wonder what he broke this time...

You are a really great team, and I love watching you work. 👍

Outstanding job Sin!!! ❤

Honesty is the best policy.
Sid the up and coming GOAT.
Looks Amazing as Always 😊
I really love watching you cut in the edges, the sound of the wand going and the water splashing no music it’s the best. Consider doing more music and narration free videos 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Do you do more real time content on your other channel, can’t really see the cleaning when it’s sped up throughout so much especially when there’s alot of distance between the camera and the cleaning!
Awesome roof cleans 😊
Can you explain if doing this takes the granular coat off the tiles?
Awesome job!! From Down Under 😊
Love the MUSIC 🎶 Great job of cleaning the patio and roof!❤️
Hopefully your finger is feeling better and my mother's favorite line is " this is how we learn".😊
It is amazing what a power washer can do.
I'm just now watching and it's Saturday. Hurray, another one on Sunday.
The first job came out spectacularly!
The second one the roof was dirty that it looked amazing.
Love the monologue at the end mate!
Do you let all the muck from the roof go down the down pipes or stop it from filling the drains 👍
With regards to breaking tiles, how about putting a spring or cushion around the nozzle to soften the impact?
Love the vids Sid keep it up man growing big now man I remember watching your first vid feels like yesterday
LOL I am going to have to slow your videos down so I can understand you!!🤣😂😂🤣 Love to see you so busy and happy! I miss your longer videos and actually seeing the process, but time is money and I understand. Hope this finds you and yours happy and healthy. Take care, see you next time!
Thanks for the tip. I’m just starting out doing my first big roof this week. Ive been practicing today. But my biggest headache like all who are self employed is seeking out the customers, but I’m sure in time it will happen especially the more work I do. And more experience also.
Great cleaning job & honesty pays!
You’d think there’d be an adjustable bar on the scaffolding to help rest the pole and also act as a backstop for the pole dropping.
whoa what an amazing transformation love it so satisfying
Great work!
I was wondering, whats the difference between scraping/biocide treating and pressure washing a roof? Why dont you just pressure wash all of it :D?

Sid, honesty is always best! Another fun job to watch and it's a fine one too. (BTW, how's your broken knuckle doing?)
Another AWESOME video Sid, roof turned up lovely
Awesome video! Would love to see more voice over. Be good to get the viewers to ask you questions on the video before and answer them in the newest video! Great work though!!
Great video❤❤ .......Do you find that if it is dirty dirty that its more enjoyable to clean because results are clearer to see
Thank you so much for sharing this info 👍
could you put some sort of shroud (like a suction cup shape) over the end whilst roof cleaning so when if and when it drops the force is distributed
i have the same surface cleaner. Mine is called turbo devil. Its good, but if the ceramic fails its gonna cost you about 300 quid. Keep it clean on the inside. Cheers.
Something you might tell him and anyone is to take your foot off the pedal slowly instead of just yqnking it off
Thanks for not cutting off the rinse downs!
That house does remind me of my uncle old home he lived in . But he lived in dore in millhouses sheffield house called the Highlands
when you are working with the roof poles. why don't you make the scaffolding do the lifting work?
I don't know how to explain it well (I do have the idea in my head just not the words)
but in short the idea is that it helps in carrying the wait and also if you would let go of said lance it will just stay hanging in the air just above the work surface.

Honesty is the Best Policy, i have heard that saying and remembered it. Its not a saying that is popular in todays business world. Enjoyed all the videos since i have subscribed. thanks so much.
Use a flat surface to avoid the turbo jet reaction
Could always turn the nozzle sideways before letting off the pedal. It won't kick down as much then as you will already be bearing most of the weight.
Great job, it's very hard, I would like a model on the scale of your van just like yours
Beautiful work
Hi sid.another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work
me at 4am watching these videos 🤩
hi Sid love your channel - i am starting to pressure wash roofs with fsc and turbo nozzel - i have quesition in relation to how best to manage pressure hoses on the tower - ie if the hose pulls down it will take the tower with it
Hi Sid, love your work, amazing videos and work ethic. Could you possibly do an equipment video, where you get the equipment and how much it all costs for roof cleans as well? thnx
Awesome
Rosemary tiles as a roofer as I am even we hate these tiles as they do break easy
'easing my self back into the roof cleans' - perks of being the boss i suppose lol
Nice great Job
Could you please tell me what is the highpressure Nozzle attachement you are using on your pole?
Thanks
That technique is good to know. Would it help to have a counterweight to counter balance the pole or is that technique the only method?
Great video and work!
I'm watching from America 🇺🇸
How are you removing debris from ground after washing? Broom and dust pan?
You said most of your viewers are from the UK. Add this to your world wide list of viewers…Ecuador. Cheers.
Is the circular motion on the wand a nozzle?? If so where can you find one??
Maybe a stupid question: how does a pole work? Is there some kind of trigger u need to hold to get the water out like a normal pressure washer or?
Hi love your work , can I ask if you always use a steam cleaner on roofs or could you get away with a cold pressure washer.
Thank you
Graham
Very very impressive
Love your honesty Sid. Very interesting from a self employed business owner myself (totally different industries mind) how you deal with mistakes and customers. Great to hear.
A question if you have time, for the roof section, why did you alternate between using the small spinning nozzle and the pan lid like tool?
Looking forward to seeing your next video.
could a thin brace with a tennis ball act as a bumper to keep the hard tip of the sprayer from impacting on the tile be feasible ?
Hi sid i have been watching your videos for a while now and really enjoying them I am 25 and would like to set up my own business doing something similar to yourself but the cost of starting up is what are holding me back I have car but no van so can’t really carry around the water tank ect. With your experience of starting up from scratch do you have any advice for me? This is something I have thought about for a long time taking the jump away from steady employment to start out on my own any advice would be appreciated👍
Could you afford a small trailer? If your car has enough horsepower, that would be a good start.
@@haggielady thanks for the idea definitely something I will look into 👍
I have Turbo Nozzle Tile protectors
Hey Sid,
Out of interest; why do you use your turbo nozzle over the mossmatic?
Cheers
