I live in Wokingham and could hear your leaf blower!
😂😂 this comment wins!
6.30 in morning is piss take making that noise
I’d be screwing 😂
Yeah I'd be pissed off with some dickhead doing that at 6.30
Ask Santa for an electric leaf blower, the neighbours would appreciate it instead of being woken up at 6:30am by that petrol racket 🤣
I've just had my block pave drive extended and whilst Jim did a great job trying to match the bricks they are not quite right. Mt wife has moaned on about the different shades so I'm going to show her this. Got to be a much cheaper way of getting a nice consistent colour back without replacing all the bricks again.
many thanks for making this video. That drive looked great once finished.
Looks amazing. I will definitely be doing My patio with There Concrete product.
Looks great! I used smart seal on my driveway, great product. One thing I would have advised is to have applied a clear coat (x2), smart seal do this in gloss or matte, though you can get a much cheaper one from screw fix. The clear coat essentially seals the drive in the condition it is in now, and helps to prevent sun damage and weeds penetrating into the joint compound. This makes maintaining the drive much easier and you can brush, wash or blow any debris off before it has chance to establish 👍
Amazing transformation that lads 👌🏻
Great job guys, i can under understand your caution if its your first time using this product....im in landscaping and whenever you use something new its a bit nerving.... 😂😂 great job...👍
Jake, couldn't you do the whole drive grey and then go over with the black or do they not mix?
It looks great regardless
Yes I think you're right. I was worried about the grey affecting the depth of the black but In hindsight I think it would have been fine.
I just commented exactly the same. I used to be a painter and decorated and was screaming at the T.V lol
Looks good lads nice one
Looks sick that lads well done😎 👊🏼
Brilliant job well done!😎
Top work bud
What a good job.
Thanks!😀
Wow thanks so much! 🙏🏼
It looks good, but how will something like this last? I don’t see how a painted finish on a driveway is durable. What about cleaning the driveway in the future?
Would like to see it in a couple of years time - cars driven on it, summer sun, winter ice and snow
I did this but you have to repaint it about every three years.
It wll look shit is my guess mate! I'd never paint brickwork on the floor!
@@moonpunk would be OK to sell a house I suppose but them bricks were still in good order and powerwashed and sanded and a good block paver seal would have been better , Does look nice for a while though.
You guys are right, I should have rolled everything first then painted the black boarder. I was worried about the black re-emulsifying the grey and affecting the colour but it may not have been an issue. Something to think about for next time. Its all experience :D
Thanks for watching!
Nice finish boys. Looks new now, was half asleep when I come across the video and I thought you'd said you laid the drive a week ago 😂 I didn't want to be harsh but I thought that's rough as f**k 😂. Rewatched the beginning then realized. Anyway cracking job, but remember about using noisy equipment before 8am, I only say it as I've had noise abatement orders on my company before by irate neighbours, and if they see you back at same street, they will jump on it mate 🙄. Keep doing good jobs buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i would use my paint sprayer
whenever we painted black gloss etc, grey was always the colour of the undercoat, baffled me when you didn't paint everything grey first off. Just could have picked the black out then at the end after the grey had been second coated.
Would have saved you so much messing about lol
Still, i'll never understand why people paint floors in the first place, better off using a cleaning solution soaking in and jetwashing it all clean afterwards.
Imagine jetwashing that stonework when the dirt settles now with paint on it! Will look tatty fast i think
@@SMOUT_ how much did you charge????
How will the paint be affected when the owner comes to jetwash drive?
if you are using a leaf blower at 6:30 in the morning not only are you pissing off the neighbours you are probably breaking the law as well. Most councils in the UK consider anything before 8am to be an anti social noise violation if it is not an emergency repair.
How long will it last tho ?
That looks mint! 👌🏻
And miles better than the original colour.
Only thing left to see is the durability?
You could have tried running a wide tape run around the edge of the grass, keeps any dust or dirt going on your paint work, grey everywhere then the black boarder. grey is usually used as an undercoat so best to do first, a tarp and small roller will save time to. great job guys 👍🏻
Thanks for the info
@@SMOUT_ anytime bro
Huh never knew this product existed may have to give a try, looks fantastic and curious if you have luck with it sticking like when you first apply? I have pressured washed patio blocks then tried apply polymeric sand where it was applied prior and have yet to have any luck with it sticking like first time applied?
Wow, looks like a brand new driveway! Great job guys!
Can you use this stuff on concrete and what’s the life span of this product?
Drive looked quality after. Can i ask if any of the seals would stop weeds coming up between the cracks?
I painted our driveway the same colour last year. 12 months on and it hasn’t lasted as well as I’d hoped. Apparently you should paint on the clear sealant to protect it further, so just letting you know.
However didn’t know about that poly sweep stuff, so will try that out next time. 👍🏻
Hey guys, I’ve just painted my back patio, what do I put on top to stop stains and marks ruining the finish as I’m starting to regret it 🤦🏻♀️
Horrible. Looks like it's painted brick. What was the owner thinking?
Don’t know why the homeowner didn’t repair the broken bricks before getting you to paint it??? Odd.
Can you say. CHEAP?
Look's great. My only concern is that your mixing chemicals/paint on the grass, which will die, if you accidently spill something.
dont spill then
@@leeneal6969Dumb remark.
May have been quicker to roller everything a single colour, get that done, then do that black border.
a combination of good products leading to a very nice end result :-)
You would have saved a ton of time if you had rolled the entire driveway in the grey and then once the final coat was dry, done the black border, which likely would have only needed 1 coat, due to the 3 layers of grey underneath it
But how fast it will come off with cleaning
I enjoyed the video, but I had to laugh at you admitting you were braking the law EARLY in the video 😉
Did you really use that noisy blower at 6 IN THE MORNING??
Was it not sanded before tinting? Seems a lot of gaps
i prefer a soft tip brush for jointing fills the gaps better instead of pulling it out
Are you going to re sand it?
Wrap your roller head in 2 plastic bags, it will keep it reusable
What is your average per square meter price for patio washing? Is it around £4/sqm? Awesome video!!!
That looks amazing!
How much did it cost? Don’t see it lasting more than a few years
what would you charge for a service like this ?
My work times are mon-fri 9-6am sat 10-4 and leave Sunday alone or to do resanding if needed, what times do you work around?
I take Tuesdays and Saturdays off. Then usually work 8:30-4ish most other days. Quiter times of year i'll probably finish much earlier
06:30 yeah I’d have a problem with that because professional builders can’t start before 08:00 in a residential area🤯
Nice
Great work!
Come and have a word with my bin men then shouting down my whole street before 7 in morning I’ve been in the building game long time you can start early one day won’t kill everyone thow if you keep it up definitely someone will complain the boys will no the drill good job lads 👍
does this cause any issues for future cleans? a high powered machine isn't going to take any off?
Need a 6 month comeback then 1 year etc
I think it will go Pete tong but hey I’m being honest
The paint has soaked into the block so should be fine, but remember the sun will fade the colour over time.
Good neat job , but remember just shaking any can is not the same as stirring ,them big cans of liquid can have a large globule of unmixed stuff at the bottom that only stirring gets rid of. If you look at any product like this it allways says stir and never mentions shake.
That's why aerosols have a ball bearing in them
That's a great point, thanks for the heads up! 🙏🏼
SMOUT, Can you use Block Magic on 2x2 flags instead of Blocks. Hope you reply back. Thanks
Hi, what price per metre do you charge for this?
Strange why you didn't just paint it all grey,then do the border black, instead of gingerly going round the black border
Hi good job but why do you always start at the bottom woudnt make sence to start at the house and work back then yout not walking on what you have just done
I think it looks great. There may be an issue with wear and tear regarding the paint but I'm sure the makers of the paint would have already sorted out the problems before putting their product on the market. I've read a lot of the comments, gosh how mean some people are!! As long as the owners of the property are happy that's all that counts!! Any teething problems re how long this will last can be sorted at a later date. I think it looks great guys. Love from New Zealand.
It’s illegal to make noise before 7am
Never understood the logic of a blower for moving dust ..... surely you should use a Henry....
What did you charge for that job? Looks great by the way
Whatever they charged was too much
Why didn't you roll the whole thing and the do the black manually?.
Would that not have been quicker?. It's not a lot more paint and that could have been you undercoat for the black?
30 yes as a block paver, he says it looks like a brand new drive????? Trust me it looks nothing like any new drive that I've installed. The lines are shocking and would only take a few mins to Tudy up, there are a few broken blocks just left and the key kerbs are incomplete. All jobs that could be done with little to no effort... 3/10 lads
Never ever paint decking or stones, it will look shite in no time and you always have to keep re doing it.
You done a nice job..but it doesn’t look right to me
My bad id just woken up, didn't realize you guys were drive cleaners😂😂😂😂
0630. Might want to edit that bit out before someone reports you. Because being the Internet, they likely will, especially if its one of the neighbours you woke up
People need to relax a little. I used a leaf blower for 30 seconds in the morning for the first time in my career 🙄
@SMOUT_ you're overlooking the point. It's not that you used it. Its the fact you posted the evidence. You have broken the law. Specifically the control of pollution act 1974. Therefore you have committed a crime (as stupid as that is)
If someone posts a video of themselves driving a car over the speed limit. The police can and do prosecute them. So what I was trying to help you with, was suggesting to edit out the bit where you admit what time it is.
Glorified street sweepers
Painting bricks is stupid. Bricks are naturally maintenance free.
You’d have had the paint over your head if you did that a 6.30 in my street
Nice work but i dont like the collor 😂
Why...? Looks terrible, and now you cant jet wash it to clean it or the paint will flake and look even worse 🤔 Will need completely replacing 😮
smartseal do decent stuff so I would imagine it will last
Cowboys.
6:30am with that noise is ridiculous can’t believe no one came out to say anything.
That paint will last a couple of years then look like shit. Then stuck in the cycle of reapplying every few years.
People will say it’s the customers choice you’re just doing the work, but why waste your life doing something that is guaranteed to fail.
I love how people throw around the word 'cowboys' 😂 thanks for watching x
Once you start painting something you will have to be prepared to keep redoing it regularly. I actually preferred the original look.
God, theres some negative nellies on here!!
He put the leaf blower on for 30 seconds, for all you moaning Malcolms know He could of spoken to neighbours before hand. 30 seconds!
And thats the colour the house owner wanted, jeez.
I think these 2 guys have done a bloody good job 😊
As my mum used to say
" if you've not got anything nice to say, then keep your mouth shut"
Well Done lads. Ignore the nasty comments, they are just jealous ❤
Pandemic grey 😂
Those broken pieces of paving look a mess.
Building work in public areas and on construction sites in the UK must be in accordance with the 1974 Pollution Control Act, which aims to protect the public against noise pollution as well as air pollution. This act limits noisy work to between 8am and 6pm from Monday to Friday.
God no don’t promote this Jake something always goes wrong with ground surface coatings. That could scab off in 12 months. We do have sandblasting for back up if it starts to look shit
Made a easy maintenance driveway to a high maintenance driveway. Any paint will fade over the years, making this driveway look tatty.
A petrol blower WTF? You can’t go around making loud noises on a built up estate at 6.30 am. How no-one came out and threw that paint right over him I’ll never know or worse. FKing have some respect for other people. Min 8am in that built up area. These are the legal working hours in the UK unless emergency services like Gas and Electric.
Monday - Friday: 8am - 6pm.
Saturday: 8am - 1pm.
Sunday and bank holidays: no work. By UK Law. I’m a Builder 34 years. Sorry lads but that is well bad. 6.30 am No!
🤜🤛👍
Snake oil
What a shame.
just sweep the bastard drive iv been on nights#
😂😂😂
Electric blower required 😂
Nice job but next time put your buckets on a sheet on grass, because you have burnt the grass,
Do these guys not know the law…. Working making noise is not allowed unless it’s an emergency… Neighbours should put a complaint in
Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall churckery up the walsall
If the customer wanted a tarmac coloured drive, why didn't she simply lay tarmac? It was a shame to get rid of the brindle block colouring that was a useful contrast to the acres of dull grey tarmac in the road and footpath.
That's horrible
Think the original,sealed,would have looked much better.
Just for your safety, do you realise that's a dust mask and doesn't protect you from any paint fumes?
VOC protecting in some respirators, aka paint fumes.
@@davideyres955 I know, this one is only a dust mask and not rated to protect against anything paint fumes related. VOC isn't just fumes so I simplified it. I am a commercial vehicle spray painter so I do have alot of experience in the types of mask required to protect.
No offence great job but come on petrol blower at 6:30am? That's not on..
Why spend hundreds of pounds doing the drive - but not fix the gaps at the front of the drive? really stupid cost saving when you consider how little extra that would have cost to fix.
Were the customers warned that it will now need painting every year to keep it looking good
You're allowed to generate noise from 0800-1800... It's shit of you to do this at 0630. People could be coping with shift work, babies, ill, and you mugs rock up and do this.
Are you allowed to work part time in these trades? Im unable to do full time due to Universal Credit.
I decided not to get locals in again to complete my driveway like this as every time I have in the past, they’ve made a right mess of the job.
Instead, I hired some professional Polish builders and they did a similar job to this one, but they added 4 coats of paint, replaced the broken paving blocks for free and did the whole job in one day & charged less then the conmen who tried to do it previously. Still looks like new after 5 years. That border looked better before these two painted it black.
Taking the piss using a blower at that time never mind a petrol one. More than likely committed a nuisance there. There’s a reason why councils limit construction working hours!
Each to their own, but personally I think they taken a lovely block paved driveway & ruined it.
This is like the DIY days of the 1980s & just looks like someone painted their driveway (which is what they have) will be interesting to see what it looks like in a years time 🤔
