Loving the channel. Your a hard working chap fp. You give great information about what your doing too. Gives me more confidence to start my little business in the new year now after watching you. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻👏🏻
Cracking job pal, considering the bad access you did really well. For anyone doing this DIY, you can smooth the joints over with a cut off piece of hose pipe...it helps for water drain off. @Pureseals products are amazing !
Just found your channel after looking for patio cleaning tips. I've got an Indian sandstone patio with plenty of black spots and it needs the joints repointing also. If I can get mine to look as good as the one you've done then I'll be very happy.
You could buy a wolf garten brush and handle. You can buy different wolf garten brush heads as well. There all quick release. I think wolf garten patio brush head would have been suitable for agitating the hypo into the black spots on the patio. There made in Germany.
I actually removed 11 of my 50 year old patio stones ( 24" x 30" and 80 lbs each ) that were worn down and flipped them upside down, cleaned them up, and turned them into a walkway farther back in my back yard. Even though they look 'old style' and a bit worn on the bottom, they still look pretty good and will be painting them soon.
@@SMOUT_ i had one this week i had to go through the house but i took my portable one with me my van mounted is 36LPM so really did not want to risk it blowing
I was too old with a bad back to do mine so I employed a local guy to remove my old mortar and replace it, he used Sica and told me he was going to depth of 20mm. Charged me £800 and 12 months later weeds were pushing through - took a look at why and found out he'd only put it in to 10-12mm. I wasnt impressed.
The dipped pointing looked nice but isn't it better to leave it level to stop rain settling in it and, in winter it freezing and causing it to come up?
amazing job...this is exactly what i want to do with my patio. im in the middle of jet washing it down now so need to get some of that stuff to repoint it with. Does it take long to dry once you have brushed it all in??
That sika stuff is a very expensive way to point a patio lve used it a few times and lm not impressed,cement grit sand is best as is a compacted flush finish. Water sits in the grooved pointing , then frost will over time affect it. Maybe using a standard stiff broom/ hose with a simple cleaner would work just as well for fraction of the price. That black spot is hard to remove How is the sika presently?Maybe best not to pressure wash it? Well made vid.. well done mate , just my thoughts based on my experiences
Really helpful video, nicely explained all the steps! Wondering how you find the Sika product holds up over tome for the pointing? Heard mixed things vs a nornal sand-cement mix so interested in your views
Hi there the Silka product is brilliant my mate used it on his patio after the cement started to break up his patio is power washed regular a family running about on it playing football it is still looking good after 3 years
Excellent video! Do you have to remove ALL of the old grout or can you 'go over' some of it and sort of top it up?? I think I will have to use cement and sand as the gaps between my slabs are about 20mm. Thanks!
That's ok. I price sealing as follows: How long I think it's going to take (hourly rate) + cost of sealer (different surfaces = different sealers) + application type (will I need to buy some rollers & a tray or using my sprayer?) + How much sealer (they all have different coverage). It's a difficult question to answer because I don't have a formula yet. I should really sit down and work out a price psqm for sealing tarmac, block paving, natural stone etc...
Yeah I get you there is two many variables to take into consideration. Would that £10 per square Patio clean and regrout price include removal of the old grout.
Yes including removal. You might get lucky and find that it's nice and soft and can be scraped by hand, but always price for worst case scenario i.e needing a grinder. It's a huge difference in work. Most pressure washers avoid regrouting because it's such a soul destroying job 😂 start small to get an idea of time and effort
Question: was the solvent you were using a cleaning solution or a paver sealer for like weather elements? Do you suggest spraying weed killer and bug killer in the joints before putting the new paver grout in? Or are these steps redundant.
Turbo would have also made a horrible mess, I think doing it by hand was a lot more controlled in this case. Thanks, I would like an Xjet but it seems overpriced in my opinion so I'm kind of refusing to buy one at the minute
@@SMOUT_I bought an X-Jet, by the time I’ve readied it and the chemical mix, I would be half way through a manual application. Tip: I add a tiny amount of surfactant into the mix and this help lather up the hypo so it ‘hangs on’, aiding the cleaning process. Plastic inserts corrode too, so I’d stick to brushing, with or without the aid of a pump. Geoff
It’s called a jointer pal for jointing brickwork, or as you did flagging. Great vids mate very informative! 👍🏻
Noted, thanks very much. I appreciate the feedback
Good job in a difficult location and like the calm voice over 😊
Really nice job. Looks fantastic
Patio cleaner works a treat! 50% acid, 50% water.scrub like hell. It comes off 👏
Looks absolutely mint 👌🏼

It was only a small patio so took about half a day, not too bad 🙂

First time I’ve seen this great job on black spots
Thanks Marilyn 🫶
Wow! Great job.
Great job mate I must admit you are brave for taking ur high pressure hose though the house I would be so worried in case it burst my self
Thanks buddy. I wasn't worried about it bursting, that's never happened to me. It's just black marks I was concerned about
@@SMOUT_ i had one this week i had to go through the house but i took my portable one with me my van mounted is 36LPM so really did not want to risk it blowing
Yeeee I kinda want to replace the pump on my little portable 12LPM machine for jobs like this
Nice job !
VERY GOOD JOB MATE
Good job that mate.
Great job
Dude, nice job
Great job mate
Thanks Simon 👍
Look great looks good
Great result

Looks great. But all these chemicals eventually end up in the rivers and the sea.
How long would you wait before jet washing the patio again? Would that jointing compound compact and not wash off?
Scrap the sika and use fusion pro joint. But great job. Sika is useless.
amazing job...this is exactly what i want to do with my patio. im in the middle of jet washing it down now so need to get some of that stuff to repoint it with. Does it take long to dry once you have brushed it all in??
Did you rinse the chemicals out of the aquifer too?

Great job. I'm hoping to clear out my joints and redo the grout. Think that is the colour of the Sika grout I need. What colour is that please

@@happy11111100 nice one, thank you!
What a transformation. Great job.
When did you wash off the jointing compound excess from the slabs?
How did you get rid of the grout from the slabs at the end?
Great transformation. How do you get the excess jointing compound off?
Thanks, brush as much as you can diagonally, then whatevers left on top of the slabs will brush off easily when dry 👍
Hi Jake
Do you have the link for the sprayer applicator you used. Thanks
Super job mate, does the jointing compound go hard with drying thanks
Doesn't that jointing compound stick to the surface of the slabs after sweeping it into the joints?
Excellent video! Do you have to remove ALL of the old grout or can you 'go over' some of it and sort of top it up?? I think I will have to use cement and sand as the gaps between my slabs are about 20mm. Thanks!
Sika recommend 20mm depth
Should do a v joint for those slabs. Ah well
what is the tool
used for remove the weed in the video?
Are you using a Vevor surface cleaner? how do you rate it??
great video. That is was I was looking for!!! Any tips for removing rust from slabs? I tried a spray but it did not work...
Nice video, what’s the chemical you used and the grout / powder filler?
Grout mix can get in screwfix
Pointing iron
what’s the product you’re using? I know you mentioned Jointing compound.
Pause the video at 5:19 and you will see.
👍👍👍‼️
Would sand and cement do the same job?
Yep
Where abouts are you based - are u in the Uk, I have a patio needs doing
How do you price Patio clean and regrout?
My price has altered a bit since this job but now it's around £10psqm. Clean & regrout incl materials 👍
@@SMOUT_ what way would you price for sealing also. thanks for the help
That's ok. I price sealing as follows:
How long I think it's going to take (hourly rate) + cost of sealer (different surfaces = different sealers) + application type (will I need to buy some rollers & a tray or using my sprayer?) + How much sealer (they all have different coverage).

Can someone tell me if they saw this in United States? I see it on Amazon, but it wants to ship it from the UK.
British video british product
turbo tip would of blown the sand and moss out the cracks way fast then by hand fyi. xjet faster for applying your sh chems soaps. but good job.
Turbo would have also made a horrible mess, I think doing it by hand was a lot more controlled in this case.

Does the jointing compound set hard? Just wondering if it would get brushed out over time or displaced by weeds.
lol, amateur.😂
I think he's a professional actually.
