Hey guys, welcome back to another video. My apologies, this video was supposed to be posted last Sunday, but issues with broadband, uploading in 4k, music copyright issues, and just being snowed under with work, put an end to that 😞.
So as I explain in the video, this customer contacted me after seeing one of my videos on CZcams. She was concerned as she new that there was lots of cracked, missing and damaged tiles, caused by the huge amounts of moss, and damage from branches that had fallen on her roof over the years. So wanted to get all damaged and missing tiles replaced by her roofer/builder, but, he was unable to see the full extent of what was going on, and where the leak may be coming from due to a large percentage of the roof being smothered in moss, and even ferns.
She specifically requested low pressure, pressure washing, even though she was aware there was water ingress issues coming from somewhere on the roof. The customer was fully aware that washing the roof would mean water getting through where it was leaking, but was completely fine with that, as she had a roofer/builder coming in as soon as I had finished, to repair any spalled, cracked or missing tiles.
This is one of the longest videos i've ever edited, and took what felt like an eternity to edit, but it all was worth it in the end 🙂, I hope you enjoy this epic transformation, all the best to you all, Nick. - Jak na to + styl
Hi everyone 🙂. Something keeps coming up, that I think I should probably have made clearer in the video. The "noooooo" slowed down part in the video is my camera falling, not me. I accidentally knocked into it with my chemical pole, and it went tumbling to the floor, and thankfully had a soft landing in some leaves. But a HUGE thank you to the people that thought it was me, and expressed their concern, and hoped that I was okay, it's extremely kind of you. Many thanks again & all the best, Nick.
You've certainly made their builder/roofer's job a few thousand percent easier! There was actually a very pretty roof under that shag carpet!
Hi Alexis, thanks so much for the great comment 😊
Yes but it was a thatch ..... 😂
Great job. The moss was all over the roof. The height of the scaffolding would have scared me to death. Glad you didn't get hurt.😊
美麗的房屋
That roof was created by a true craftsman - great job exposing his lovely work!
In all the years I have been watching pressure washing videos, and that includes you, Nick...Ben, Spencer (SB), and Sid, I have never seen such a disaster of a roof needing cleaning. That was a monstrous job!!! The roof was interesting...on one side you have interspersed with scalloped tiles, and on the other side, you have your basic straight tiles. The home itself is stately but in dire need of TLC. There were a couple of times there when I thought a tile was coming down. You nailed this job. There are not enough words to describe what a fantastic job you did. Oh....get gloves, Nick. When I saw you doing the cleanup in the front with no gloves, the mother in me was going...NO!!! Well done, and thank you for sharing this with us. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
what a lovely comment
Wonderful comment and couldn’t agree more.
Когда я посмотрела, как мужик легко держит 4-х метровую трубу под напором воды, я подумала, что он очень силен, как медведь.
Very nice .
I must say you did a very god work att this rof.And you done it very well. God work from Sweden
Take care!
What a HUGE job!! Such a beautiful roof underneath all that! 🙂👍
I did not even notice the house I noticed how the man works he is such a bad to the bone person
Did you notice his amazing pressure washer gun now that's a GUN
What a gorgeous roof. No one knew it until you made it shine!
For a minute I thought YOU were the one falling, my goodness. Thank God you are ok. Terrific job sir.
Good job on the pressure washing, I’d love to see a garden makeover on this place, it could be so pretty!
Looks to me like a house and garden that has been neglected and has new owners who are restoring it to its former grandeur.
I never knew watching a ROOF clean and treatment can be so soothing.
Excellent video!
👍🙏
Thanks so much, that's very kind ☺️
Yes. I didn't realise how much I actually _needed_ to sit and watch 45 minutes of moss removal.
The choice of accompanying music was spot on 🤗

Just love how the "gingerbread tiles" appeared as you cleaned this roof, kudos.
What an amazing transformation! Hopefully the homeowners will now have the trees and foliage trimmed back.
agreed and maybe dig the dead leaf mulch to below the the damp course all-round the house.
What a beautiful tiled roof come out of its darkness! 👏👏👏🇦🇺
That is a gorgeous house. But I believe all the trees and vegetation is to drown out all the noise from road traffic. I am glad my house faces a field and backs onto a park.🙏
15 seconds in, and suddenly very sad that we (the camera) aren’t brought along to every job.
On a serious note: thanks for making your videos. They truly give me so much peace, and joy, and just a nice relaxed feeling. You do such good work!!
🤣 🤣 cheers Danielle. Aw thanks for saying that, that's so nice to hear, and really means a lot ☺️
You are the hardest working, best power washer, I have ever seen! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Aw thanks so much Cheryl, what a lovely thing to say 😍
Big job. You did a wonderful job
Thank you ☺️
You couldn't even see how gorgeous that roof was before you cleaned it. Amazing job!
Thanks so much Jodi 😍
Mission impossible! What a roof! They truly need to get some trees trimmed! That roof is gorgeous! Thank god you cleaned it!
Thanks for watching Colleen, couldn't agree more, the trees definitely need some attention ❤️
Job amazingly well done, as usual! Must be lovely to be able to spoil your customers with such impeccable service, taking pride in what you do. :) Although this large roof was rather challenging, there was something atmospheric, almost novel-like about this house. Tucked in lush greenery, with elaborate roof, imposing chimney and pretty tile pattern, it could easily capture imagination and induce daydreaming, despite the proximity of busy road. Well done! XO
Hey blueice, huge thanks, yes totally 😊, it's always a great feeling to finish a job that has quite a drastic transformation, the customer was extremely pleased. I completely agree, the house was very atmospheric, and where it was situated was beautiful. Unfortunately , and by the customers own admission, the bushes and tress etc had gotten a bit away from them, and they new it needed some attention, but pretty sure that's on their to do list after the roof has been fixed.
Thanks again, best wishes, Nick
What a beautiful roof! I love the different shaped tiles. Also, the music you chose is just gorgeous. Thank you.
Thank you very much! What a lovely comment ☺️
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning 🙂♥️
What is this in the end while packing things together? I know this melody, but I can't remember the title.
Great job Nick. What a transformation. That’s quite a roof! Fantastic job as always. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers Rod 👍
This job really tops all the roof jobs u did. Well done dear😊
Aww thanks ☺️
It looked like the roof had no end in sight. LOL
@@shqa574There was an end...total failure of the roof! 😂
It's a beautiful roof, shame it hasn't had better care. That was a challenging job. Glad the landing was soft-ish! Thanks for the video
Hey, Nick! I bet once you got started with filming for us and really looking at that roof again, you were beginning to wonder what you'd let yourself in for! 😂😂 That was a HUGE job and a super difficult one, too, but you took it on and showed it who was in charge! The fern tried to stage a coup, but you put down the resistance immediately, taking no prisoners!
Such a beautiful house with a pretty pattern in the roof tiles. But it's the chimneys that won my heart. The central one was massive and majestic, but the small one with the great chimney pot like a mushroom was fantastic! Such a lovely property. I understand the temptation to keep it on the wild side, but they really do need to call in a landscape designer and see about a plan to get that tamed before it ruins their home.
You did a wonderful job without disturbing the robin. You're so kind - I'm a huge lover of birds and animals, but if my house is at stake, I'm not worrying about a bird being disturbed. Nest knocked down, yes. But not getting close to it? Nope. 🙄 Just my opinion and I suspect I'll hear about it! 😂
I'm so glad you chose to bring us along on this one! Have a lovely week, Nick!
Agree with you about the landscaping!!! Oh, and the fireplace. 😉
Lucinda Jackson: Surprise🎉 We meet again friend! Are you a writer? ( I’m not but my husband calls me a “word nerd”, it’s true) I just love reading your comments! ( the fern staging a coup!😅😂🤣) Loved the chimneys too.
Hey Lucinda, I hope you're well. Lol, the more you watch my videos, you're getting to know me more and more, which is lovely. Yes you're spot on, I hadn't seen the roof before that first day of filming, as I quoted from google earth and street view, so when I got there, even though I was warned it was bad, I definitely did think what have I got myself into 🤣.
I loved the chimneys too, the big one in the middle was my favourite, looked quite medieval and very imposing, i'd never seen anything like it on a domestic property before. Was very delicate looking, and the brickwork looked like it needed some attention, so didn't dare put my cleaning nozzle anywhere near it 🙂.
Many thanks as always for your great feedback and comment ❤️
What a beautiful roof - especially those patterned tiles. I can’t imagine how heavy that moss was - it was like a thick carpet I’m done place. Great result, a job well done Nick 😊
Many thanks Mishka 😍
I heartedly agree with blueice011. The roof had me amazed just admiring it.
What a gorgeous house! The job must have been very satisfying for you too given the transformation. Glad that fall wasn't any worse!
You could open a florists shop with all that moss! It's nature land! Outstanding work!
Superb Job Nick as usual...
Imagine the weight relief off that roof now !
Mate, yeah, hadn't really thought about it like that 👍, cheers Stu as always mate 🤝
That is a pretty looking roof. The pattern looked Viking-ish or Smaug-ish (...scales). LOL Just when you finished one section, up popped another section.There was no end in sight. I am sure the house looks lively and bright now. The owner could trim the random weeds and shrubs surrounding the house.
I agree, it is too overgrown.
What a massive job. I couldn’t watch all the video in one sitting, it made my shoulders burn too much! That turned out beautifully and I hope they find a landscaper of your quality next. Marvelous job. 🎉
Thank you for uncovering that lovely gingerbread rooftop. The house can now go back to it's own fairytale ❤🎉
Wow that was hard work, you must have been worn out after that job. Managing the ‘wand’, ‘lance’? over that distance is very impressive. The roof came up beautifully and as you say the roofer can now see what needs to be done.
❤ This video! Only one moment when I thought you had fallen 😢 You really work so hard for your clients. Gorgeous setting to work on that carpet roof 😂
Thank you so much Randi, you're the best 🥰
The roofing tiles are beautiful now, thanks to you.
Came up lovely, looks like a gorgeous old roof on a stunning old house and not the top of a derelict building. Good job as always x
Super Nick does it again! What a huge job, and the results are amazing! Now, is the ratio of the Hypo the same as doing a patio or driveway? These customers certainly called the right man for this job! My arms hurt just watching you 😮 Loved this one Nick, be well young man! Huge hugs from Texas, to you!😊
❤ you a a very humble legend.
I lost count of the kilos of moss you gathered up, working on the theory that a 10 litre bucket equals 10 kilos of moss 😅
Your work ethic is top notch.
Thank you for sharing.
I hope you're okay.
Cheers from Tassie 🎉🎉
The end result is to be proud of.
How satisfying was that! Beautiful job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍 Sorry about that fall.
Thank you! 🤗
That tile pattern is so pretty. Nice job.
Wow, what a huge transformation. Good job. 👍👍👍
What a transformation, the client must have been well pleased!
They don't do these kind of design roof anymore. They are all the same, the difference is only the color.
What a beautiful roof! You did a magnificent job on it! Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much Anita 😊
@31:52 my thoughts too. Soon as I saw that ledge I suspected a leak location. Problem is, there was so many missing, damaged & loose tiles & so much moss & crap collecting water it could have seeped into the roof from many areas. Glad a roofer is going to be following you & fixing it. Hope the owner gets back a dry house.
Some new silicon around the windows would be wise too I guess, going by the leak you mentioned shortly afterwards. An oopsie from you that didn't help but highlighted an easy entry point.
What a pretty roof .
Felicitaciones! Es un trabajo muy grande para una sola persona!. Muy buen trabajo!!!🎉
Thanks so much Anna, it's very kind of you 😊
Geez Nick hard to tell if you were cleaning that roof or landscaping it 😀. .Turned out great. I thought I saw the roof smiling on the after photos. 😅
Aw thanks so much LuAnn, lovely kind words as ever 🥰
Hats off to you Nick!
That's a job lots would of walked away from;
- relatively old roof/tiles
- high level access got some awkward angles / facets
- ground access a bloody nightmare. More like a forest floor as you said - feel your pain moving a built up tower on that, I've moved mine across rough ground before but not like that.
- enough moss to fill a 2yd skip (or more)
Cracking job buddy and a great result, hope the homeowner appreciated it 👏👏🍻
It takes a fellow roof cleaner to notice all those things. Awesome comment mate, nice one 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning well, I had a good mentor didn't I !! 😉😉😁😁
What a fantastic job you did! I hope you're okay from the fall. I know sometimes it takes a couple days for your body to react. The pattern on the front roof is so pretty. It looks like they need some yard work done too. Thank you for sharing your hard work.
Thank you so much Tatianna, that's very kind, but no it wasn't me, I probably should have explained that better in the video, it was just my new camera, the pole knocked into it, and it fell to the floor. But thank you for your concern, that's very sweet of you 😊
Recommend they cut some trees back a great deal. Far too many that close to home. I would to cut back on moss on roof. Sunshine makes us happy. Great super job again ! Careful you don’t fall and get hurt! ❤
What a beautiful house and now a beautiful roof!
Holy smokes that roof is 😮. Glad it’s got cleaned so the roof person could fix it.
The tiles are beautiful love the pattern of them.
Nick I'm totally impressed with the scaffolding first of all and then with the outcome of this job! (As usual you did an outstanding job)--love the video as well!
Awesome, thank you Cleopatra 😍
Wow Nick what a fantastic transformation you have made, I am sure the customer must be well happy, I am a little puzzled as to why they did not ask you to do the garage roof also, as iIcertainly would have being a person whom likes things to look the same, whom knows they have their reasons one that comes to mind is they can show friends and neighbours a before and after hopefully generating more work for your business.
I imagine that it’s a case of only applying money (which by the looks of it is in short supply) to places when they absolutely need it. A stopgap measure, as it were.
Many thanks Colin 👍
I have no idea why I watching this video, but I can not stop to not to watch cuz this is so interesting. Thank you so much Nick for your work and content. This is awesome, and please stay safe and I wish to you as much possible clients for you
Thank you so much 😊
Just wow, such a beautiful roof (after you cleaned it). Mammoth job and very welll tackled, well done. Best wishes Christine x
Thanks Christine 😊
Добрый день уважаемый Ник! Работа просто фантастическая. Очень тяжёлый труд, но от того стоил. Какая красивая крыша, вы дали ей вторую жизнь. И дом смотрится великолепно!!!
Wow. I've only seen roofs like that in children's stories. It's a crying shame they let it get so bad with the moss. They definitely got their money's worth from you. Glad you're safe and it was just the camera that fell. Good video!👍
Wow what a difference 😮 great job and the camera falling was epic. 😅 good thing it didn't break 😅. Have a great weekend. 😊
Awesome, thanks Giovanna
Wow !!!! that was some job. Hope you didnt hurt yourself. Great job.
Wow, that was a tough one. Tall, steep, exceeding amount of debris and difficult access. Well done. It turned out really well and now the roofer can see what he has got to work with. Great job!👍
Aw thanks Stacey ❤️
Nick, that roof under that layer of "carpet" of foliage was a beautiful design! The roof went from "drab" to "fabulous"! The terracata colors on the roof look stunning with the architecture of the house itself! You've restored beauty to an elegant "old lady"! Great work! Here in the U.S.A. viewing this wonderful art-form called: roof cleaning! Doug👍❤️🤓🦅
That is one beautiful roof! I don't believe I have ever seen such fancy tile work on a roof. Well done exposing it!
WOW 👍WATCHING THIS SATURDAY NIGHT BUD BEFORE I WAS GOING FOR A PINT 🥳HAD TO WATCH FULL VIDEO 👍👍GREAT JOB WILL GO FOR A FEW PINTS NOW 🥳🥳
🤣 awesome Robin, have a couple more on me 🍻. Thanks for the great feedback, it's much appreciated 👍
Awesome job - what gorgeous roof I love the scalloped pattern!
Many thanks Fiona 😍
That was one massive job! You tackled it like the pro you are and it looks fantastic!!!
Aw cheers Donna, that really means a lot ☺️
Wow that was a huge job. I didn’t realise that licen could do so much damage to a roof
What a beautiful job and such a beautiful house. I don't think I've ever seen a roof tiled like this here in the U.S. Very nice. Great job!
stunningly beautiful roof, especially when set of by blue skies. Excellent job.
It's a really pretty roof, you did a fantastic job.😊
Thank you Carol ! 😊
Oh wow, what a beautiful roof was hidden underneath all the moss. You did a marvelous job 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💖😀
What an awesome transformation!! Those tiles are so pretty! The treatment should help. I hope they were happy with it. It looks great . As always Nick you are so considerate of the people's land when you do these jobs and I just love it. Great job!! Thanks for bringing us along. 😁❤❤❤
Aw thanks Nancy, so glad to have you along with me ☺️
Omg that was a mess. You did a great job like you always do! I’m glad they had a place for the moss and you did not have to take it with you and dispose of it!
Big thanks Toni, so kind of you ☺️. Couldn't agree more about the moss, that would have made the job so much harder having to take it away with me 😀
So happy for the homeowners that they saw you on CZcams! This was a wonderful video. You're so careful and meticulous. That's really hard work--all of it. Thanks for this treat.
You are so capricious Nick!! Amazing job, impeccable🎉
Wow that roof looks great. Thank you for helping there.
Many thanks Dyana 💕
What a beautiful roof fantastic design doing a brilliant job ❤❤❤
The roof is amazing! You did a fantastic job!
wow - Great job, i hope the clients were over the moon with how good it looks now and the builder will easily be able to find the leak.
Shame you didn't film the most challenging and interesting part, certainly saved the builder's a lot of work
That was a very tough roof Nick. You really worked hard. 💪
Wow Nick that was a heck of a big job and dirty job for one person to take on 😮
What a beautiful roof underneath all that moss 🤩
I bet you were aching for days afterwards 😢
Mistakes happen so I am sure they were understanding and no offence to them (if reading this) the window must have problems already.
Absolutely gorgeous property though kinda envious 😂
Only problem I had (not your problem) is I am just a tad scared of heights in particular sharp drops so may have got a ickle bit dizzy and double visioned at those points 😂😂😂
Your poor camera 😅
Hey Polgara, yeah this was a big one, i certainly slept well at the weekend 😴 😆. I'm sure they wouldn't mind you commenting about the window, they were lovely people, and readily admitted that the window had issues, and that when it rains heavily, water can sometimes come through.
They did admit to me that the husband used to do a lot of the exterior maintenance, but due to issues with his back, things had got a bit neglected, and had become a bit overwhelmed with such a large property. I can sympathise with back issues, as I suffer with that myself sometimes.
Sorry for making you dizzy 🥴🙂
Thanks for the awesome comment as usual 😊, take care, and have a great week ❤️
Oh! Well done Nick. You should be really proud of yourself.
Aw thanks very much Lorraine ❤️
Another great transformation Nick. 👏
What a gorgeous house❤
This looks amazing!!! I’m surprised that the customer didn’t have you do the chimney and garage as well.
@jaimebaranczyk4332 ... The chimney and the garage didn't need doing. They were clear of moss.
😳 I’ve just stated to watch this video and my jaw has dropped. 😱
I’d have backed the van out and apologises. I’ll edit this post after you’ve finished. Knowing you, I bet you do an amazing job. 👍🏼
EDITED
WOW what an amazing transformation. Never seen such a hard worker. Well done 👍🏼
Nick, it seems as though there were so many little things to go crazy that all there is left to do is laugh. Great job, I always enjoy watching the videos.
Fantastic transformation, and a beautiful roof 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Absolutely amazing work! Great result well earned considering all the logistical difficulties with this one. I aspire to be able to do something like this!
Thanks a lot!
That is what my Stepdad (A former builder) would call, 'A Dog of a roof'. Multiple gables, sections pitched at slightly off angles... hips and valleys in tricky alignments.
Your arms, shoulders and back must hurt bad. Excellent job!
Wonderful job, Nick! Thank you for sharing - what a beautiful roof, I love the gingerbread (?) tiles. What a challenge, haven’t seen one that bad on any channel. You get the prize! What determines use of steam or water? I like that steaming doesn't seem to use as much much water; does it make cleanup easier? ...So when do you get to do the walls? 😅 P.S. I'd love to watch whomever gets to do the garden cleanup!! Really, tremendous job. I love your videos, thanks for bringing us along. ❤❤ You're the best!
Interesting how the house roofing tile was laid out with several straight courses and then several rows of fish scale roofing tiles. Beautiful!
PS -- Not sure how home insurance works in England, but does having all that moss / fern on roof affect ability to get home insurance?
No it's not problem..
Good heavens that was a big job! At the point of nooooo did you topple over!? Well glad you are done that was a bit scary! On to the next one! Stay well and safe, thanks for sharing.
Just an extra comment on my last message just now. Who does your washing, they deserve a medal! Also I bet you feel like a new man when you finally step out of that shower after work. What a guy!!
Wow, what an odd job. I wasn't sure with all these edges everywhere if you was able to reach everywhere, especially that overlapping part on the side was weird. Nevertheless a really good job and you really couldn't ask for more.
Where you started, there was also two roofs meeting on an edge. It seems that where those roofs meet there was some plant growing downwards from below the upper one. Or was that something else?
I hope you're fine. You looked really tired on the first 2 days :/
Nick you did an amazing job and that roof looks a million times better.
Question: How long does the biocide prevent moss from coming back? I wonder because of all the vegetation around this house.
Apparently those homeowners don't own a single pair of hedge trimmers.
I live in a dry part of the US, and seeing green moss covered roofs gives those buildings a kind of rustic character, but seeing them clean really brings out their beauty as intended.
Dobra robota 👍, teraz zasłużony odpoczynek i 🍺. Pozdrawiam
Wow, bit of a toughie that one.
You can say that again 🙂, cheers David 👍
Removing all of the surrounding bushes and trees would give this grand old cottage a much deserved life extension. ( I hope the new owners will do that.)
What an amazing difference! I really enjoyed watching this! 👍
