@@PrestigeExternalCleaning I had a neighbour like that, I was having windows replaced and he did everything he could to obstruct the workers, then when I was having gutters and the uPVC stuff replaced, he started a fight and called police.

The main problem with these types of neighbors is that - after doing your job - they'll be seen by others as dirty ones who don't invest money to make their roofs clean. And that drives them crazy.
I always thought you shouldn’t clean roofs, they are probably concerned their tiles might be damaged or dislodged and the felt the same, also the mess it will cause to their property. I presume the home owner warned them and any damage or mess to their property would be carried out for free.
This is the problem when children become adults but carry on being children mentally! It is a credit to you, to have such patience! Something I have been working on for a long time!
You can still be a child mentally at 50 without being a pain in the arse to other people. It's chronic complainers and Karens that are the problem. Live and let others live in peace.
These are the same neighbors who can have any work THEY want done..without a backward glance at you. I have a neighbor who told the workmen to park on my driveway and block me in. But the rest of the block can’t park in front of her house. .. ever. You were patient and kind.
first day in my last house my neighbor came around to tell me where I couldn't park my own car on my own drive, two bungalows with seperate drives and entrances, we ignored her so she came around again a week later and got told to do one. I moved away two years later and the new owner moved in and put a shipping container and a work van on the drive-I would of paid money to see her reaction to that.
Sounds like my neighbour complains about my dogs and my radio and now my TV! They are in a detached house but their garden is 90cm from my fence it’s non stop council complaints so exhausting
I have a neighbour like this , some people are only happy when they are making other people’s lives miserable. Great job by the way , very satisfying to watch
Had my roof cleaned a few years back. Same thing happened, my neighbour kicked-off over a tiny bit of mess on her side, when their 'garden' is totally (and I mean TOTALLY) overgrown. Makes you even more determined to keep your own property looking good in the hope of shaming them into doing something about their own. Great job.
This often stressed office worker found this video incredibly relaxing. This is better than therapy. You are doing the world a service with these jet washing videos 😌
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning You did an amazing job and haha the neighbours can shake their fists at the sky as it was raining by the end of video. Liked and subscribed
This is the first tim in my life I've ever seen a rust coloured roof in England. They're always, always dark brown or black. Now I know it's moss. Just like my roof in Australia and Landbitch still can't get it cleaned!
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning The way that once you'd gotten the scaffold set up and gone up to the top that he was STILL taking bits and bobs out of his car, had me rolling laughing. You handled that very well, my god what a silly little fit to throw over nothing.
To be honest, you have taken steps to make sure your mess is tidy. You have approached the neighbors where in NZ they just get on with work. Your work is good, your ethic is great and your respect should be respected in return. Great work bro 🤙🏽 from NZ 🇳🇿
Great job! Amazing straight lines especially considering the length and weight of the wand. Your upper body strength must be off the charts. It's nice to see how well you do your job and I pray you stay safe at those heights!
Some people seem to wake up with hate in their heart. You are a very kind and considerate person so you need not worry or let it bother you, because that was his intent. You always do a lovely job. I appreciate you :) Have a good week. :)
@@LykeArgy I actually thought that England has a lot of rain... when it really rains here, we, the high-pressure cleaners, are pale with envy. Is this the desert region in England?
I've had complaints about the tools making too much noise, water spashing on cars, can't get the baby to sleep etc. I always try to let the neighbours know I'm doing work, but some people just like to have a row. A great transformation on the roof.
always look up the legal noise level at certain hours of the day (to have in defence for your sake, theres literally no defence against that) its usually between 7 in for morning to about 10 at night its almost unrestricted because of potential work being done or just that people are awake during those hours.
I hate that you have to deal with such entitled people. I think the neighbor was just looking at how great of a job you were doing and felt jealous that his was not as nice. Great job as always Nick!
What I don’t get: is having seen a job done well, efficiently and with care Why would not get the man’s number so you KNOW what your getting when you get them back for yours!
That’s just not neighbourly, this weekend my neighbour came over with a sprayer and chainsaw and helped me clear half my yard, he said “and I don’t want anything, if you can’t help your neighbour there’s something wrong with you” he’s a legend! I bought him his favourite drink, if you can buy a drink for your legend neighbour there’s something wrong with you lol! Amazing job!
No-one seems to be mentioning your straight lines on the roof! I am majorly impressed how you managed it. 10 out of 10 for dealing with the buffoon next door. 11 out of 10 far those lines...I'll say it again.....so damn straight!
I am SO IMPRESSED! Really, operating a 20’ (?) long high pressure wand in wind with near-pinpoint accuracy - you must have the arms of Hercules! Beautiful job all around. A few notes … 1. It looks like dealing with a hostile public might be half the job! Kudos for handling both neighbors with such grace. Most of us would probably just escalate the delicate situations. 2. I hope you’re using non-conductive (preferably fiberglass) high-gauge ladders in your work. I bought a 14’ (28’ extended) aluminum ladder shortly after I bought my home, to do my own roofwork and window cleaning. When I went to use it, I was shocked how much it flexed just under my body weight (130 lbs)! When I tried to donate it to my painting contractor, he said, “thank you but no,” for those reasons. Between working with water, around utilities, and at such high elevations, your safety is paramount. Further, were I your mother, I’d make you wear a helmet. 😉 3. I’m curious how exterior home maintenance works for attached homes in the UK. It looked like the entire roof was continuously shingled, yet each unit is responsible for their piece’s maintenance after that? Would some sort of roof tile/shingle masking tape make the delineation between the subject property and the neighbors help?
The helmet remark reminded me of one of my bosses many many years ago. Our highest building was 200ft tall with a 30x30 ft flat roof and a 3 foot wall around it. Whilst working up there fitting lights on top of the wall the boss came and started ranting about not wearing a helmet. I just looked up into the sky, laughed and carried on.
Watching from Indiana with my 8 year old granddaughter. 👍👏 ❤❤ It’s a blessing that people like you know how to do this work and have proper equipment for the job. I’m impressed. TY for filming and sharing this with us.
You were the highlight of their day, they would have nothing much more to complain about otherwise. Roof looked great after you had finished. The timelapse is strangely satisfying to watch. Good work sir.
Sometimes neighbors don't understand that allowing you to do your job will only raise value in the neighborhood. Overall it's only a small inconvenience to them. You taking the high road and staying calm speaks volumes...and maybe could lead to a call from one of them to go ahead and do their roof down the road. Nice work and great job showing us the before, after, and details in the middle!
Wow imagine being stuck with neighbours like that. You’d think they’d be pleased she’s maintaining her house. His grass looks like it needs a water anyway.
Awesome job mate, well done ! I come across neighbours in my job as a gardener who can be as nasty. I'm an Englishman living in Australia, whilst servicing a property last week, 2 or 3 leaves blew onto a man's property across the road, he came out and verbally abused me, I went across to say sorry and remove the leaves, to which he replied after he heard my accent that I didn't belong in his country, and he would beat the crap out of me, plus a lot of other expletives. I guess some people are just plain nasty and have nothing better to do or are angry with everyone else because of their own problems. Keep up the good work mate, and ignore the haters, roof looks amazing!!!
A pride to your profession, an amazing job well executed and a credit to the trade, so total respect from me. As for the neighbour.....absolutely shocking, a disgrace to to community.
This job creates a massive aerosol of crap that goes everywhere. A bit of notice, rather than telling his semi-detached neighbour as it was about to happen, might have avoided all this.
Nick the difference between the before and after. Most excellent job you did! As to the grumpy man. He needs to find something to get himself busy on, and stop constantly complaining, and making everybody else’s lives miserable! Thank you
People often blow things out of proportion, like the risk of flooding his house ! Another great reason for filming your work it keeps everything in perspective . Nice work pal .
When people used to lose their minds over a little water, I would ask them what they do when it rains. All I see here is a hard working man taking every possible precaution to work safely and tidily. Cracking job, sir.
I wonder who that guy shouts at when it starts raining and that little puddle starts forming... Excellent job under difficult circumstances Nick. Well done for remaining a complete professional as ever. Have a great week - going to be a warm one! thanks for the upload :)
Sir Nick you did a great job and that line is so straight. It's impressive. Looks like the neighbour has to get a life.!!! Imagine a puddle 2 meters away from his house on a down slope would flood his house. What a lot of faff for nothing. You are so polite and kind. You sir are a GENTLEMAN. Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.
I would have asked where is your drain ? can you imagine a heavy downfall ! it was only a small puddle away from the house anyway. Well done Nick for keeping your cool.
If he's worried about that puddle, what's he like when it rains or snows? Also, nice outcome on the roof. I bet you won't be in a rush to return if the attached neighbour wants their roof doing to match.
You have my sympathies! We have lovely neighbours one side, and whinging, spiteful, inconsiderate neighbours the other. I have to fight my urge to call the police all the time. That complaint was ridiculous. He’d get a bigger puddle from a normal English rainfall. He was clearly after something for free! It looked really lovely at the end and showed the other two roofs up big time. 👏
Great transformation 😂 I have had similar situations with neighbours, you did the right thing stay calm, smile and be polite that's all you can do, they were probably only jealous as their roofs were minging 😂😂
The thing that struck me is your honesty. The customer would never have known about the cracked tile, but you still owned up to it and had it replaced. Incredible service.
@georgemay3196 It's really not that deep. Besides, surely that's even better? He's replacing a tile that he didn't even crack, they're paying him to clean, not repair, so he's still doing it on his own choice.
What an absolute fantastic job you do, so thorough, so respectful and overall great guy. Shame on that neighbour for being awkward with you, he should be glad he had someone respectful like you. Sometimes people do not deserve to be treated nicely when they act like complete P....s .... Amazing work ❤
Nice work Nick, I think you exhibited great calm and restraint with those neighbours.Anyone that follows you can tell from your videos that you have great work ethics, shame they couldn’t see that 👏👏👏👍🙂
Totally respect tradesman like Nick from Prestige Cleaning, for the undeniable results they produce and professionalism when dealing with members of the public. That neighbour wearing a skirt designed for a hotter climate, was most likely scared of the " magical " long black snake spitting water onto the roof and was worried it might come and drown & then eat him and his family. I work for a large construction company refurbishing social housing in central London, for the past 13yrs, and as part of the management team dealing with the public daily I have come to the conclusion 85% of the public are psychotic/mental most of the time, and even worse after Lockdown.
@@Pandorably the guy is dressed like a 8th century Muslim... It has nothing to do with water but it's about hate and racism against Caucasians... My opinion! 🙏
That is quite the transformation! I'm so glad you continued with the clean-up work! It's probably one of the most important aspects of any job! Well done ❤
What a transformation Very relaxing video to watch I used to be a contract cleaner & I love watching something really grubby get all shiny & clean The roof looks amazing , so satisfying to watch As for the 2 territorial neighbours Jealousy is a terrible emotion 😂 Excellent result on that roof
Stumbled onto to this video, so glad I did. Hypnotic to watch, so relaxing and what a nice, honest man you are. The best therapy for my latest heart attack. I have subscribed and will be watching more.
We are surrounded on every side by Narcissists. It's important to remember that they were MADE that way by the Narcissistic abuse they suffered at the hands of their parents, acquaintances, co-workers, etc. None of us begin life with the urge to upset others - it's definitely a learned trait and a PLAGUE on society at large. All we can do is recognize it for what it is and AVOID those people at all costs. Good job staying calm, Nick. Nice work on that property, too!
Job professionally carried out well done bud. Usually awkward people like next door have desk jobs and never have had to do actual work especially dirty stuff in their life. They think things get done with a magic wand.
Very kind of you to replace cracked tiles as well as doing a mighty job on the roof. Sometimes people amaze me with their selfish, ignorant behaviour. How does he cope when it rains? He must go totally nuts.
I was a window cleaner and used to have a few customers on the Crown estate in Oxshot, Surrey, the 4 - 7 million pound houses. I don't miss using the 47ft Gardiner on the pool house roofs, I can tell you that for nothing. Keep up the solid work my fiend, stay safe out there.
Well, a challenging job to say the least! That neighbour! Very frustrating for you Nick, but brilliant outcome. You navigated the tight quarters to get your items to the back, the neighbour, the straight lines on the roof, very very well. Here is to a good week ahead.
They could live where we do and your insurance company won’t insure you if your roof is 12 years or older. Require you to get whole new roof and wind migation
Mount a small rubber caster wheel to the end of your lance and it’s easier to control. You can fit them to give you the correct height for your washer to be effective at long distances :)
I was thinking the similar .. a small metal frame that can be attached near the end with a couple of wheels, maybe even inflatable tires about six inches to navigate the bumps.
@@NecramoniumVideoTwo Soft low pressure tyres would would do no damage, very little weight would be involved, high water pressure can be quite forcefull and damaging, hard casters would be a different matter regards damaging the tiles!
Due to the fact that Karen was worried of the puddle of water going into her house I can only imagine that they don’t have rain in that area of England lol…
The UK is always surprised when it rains. We make news out of it. The floods last week were being discussed yesterday . Like we have never had floods before. We now name every storm we get too. World has gone mad
@@Arhimith Read on the video mate. " The neighbour wasn't happy with a small puddle forming on *his* side. *He* said *he* was concerned it was going to flood into *his* house". As I said, Kevin not Karen. The blue skirt was worn by his wife?, who may indeed be a Karen but she didn't say anything, just looked. Pays to check your facts before attempting to correct someone. I did, so I knew what I was talking about.😉
Great job Nick! Your roof videos are my favorite. It always amazes me how precise you are with the line, especially when you get to the top. Your eyesight obviously is very good! The music and time lapse speed are perfect as well. Just enough to be able to appreciate the cleaning and see the reveal at the same time. Well done!! Have a wonderful week!! 🥰 Looking forward to the next one!
They are just peeved because their dirty roofs look even more awful next to the one you cleaned so beautifully ! ☺️

first day in my last house my neighbor came around to tell me where I couldn't park my own car on my own drive, two bungalows with seperate drives and entrances, we ignored her so she came around again a week later and got told to do one. I moved away two years later and the new owner moved in and put a shipping container and a work van on the drive-I would of paid money to see her reaction to that.
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought the neighbours are pissed cause now their roof looks dirty in comparison. Great job man!
That poor customer... living between two passive-aggressive neighbors! I'm sure glad I have wonderful neighbors!
Best thing you can do is get a detached house at all costs
@@richlee509you are so right. Including your own dedicated driveway and garden. Even better on a slope, to enjoy the free view to the environment.
They purposely surround you with as*holes obsessed with controlling you.
Sounds like my neighbour complains about my dogs and my radio and now my TV! They are in a detached house but their garden is 90cm from my fence it’s non stop council complaints so exhausting
I have a neighbour like this , some people are only happy when they are making other people’s lives miserable. Great job by the way , very satisfying to watch
Absolutely right mate
Had my roof cleaned a few years back. Same thing happened, my neighbour kicked-off over a tiny bit of mess on her side, when their 'garden' is totally (and I mean TOTALLY) overgrown. Makes you even more determined to keep your own property looking good in the hope of shaming them into doing something about their own.
Great job.
Lazy is as lazy does 😂
@@Hummingbird108💯 Well, their mouth isn't lazy..🤦♀️🤣
Messy neighbours have no shame.
This often stressed office worker found this video incredibly relaxing. This is better than therapy. You are doing the world a service with these jet washing videos 😌
Aw thank you, such a lovely thing to hear. So pleased my videos help you relax 😊❤️
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning You did an amazing job and haha the neighbours can shake their fists at the sky as it was raining by the end of video. Liked and subscribed
@@michaelmcloughlin3127 😁 thanks so much Michael, welcome on board ✊
Just in case you're interested, there are video games that basically let you do this yourself 😂
You're a hard worker. Most people couldn't handle that type of work.
Glad you’re able to keep your cool. Nice job on roof. Feel sorry for customer who has to put up with this neighbor.
Would never had guessed that the roof was that colour, nice job Nick. Glad I don't have such " nice friendly neighbours".
Thanks for your kind words Jill 😍
That’s what I call a grafter👏, well done an amazing job and I know you worked your socks off had to sterilise that statement ..👍
This is the first tim in my life I've ever seen a rust coloured roof in England. They're always, always dark brown or black. Now I know it's moss. Just like my roof in Australia and Landbitch still can't get it cleaned!
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning The way that once you'd gotten the scaffold set up and gone up to the top that he was STILL taking bits and bobs out of his car, had me rolling laughing. You handled that very well, my god what a silly little fit to throw over nothing.
@@xoselhket not always. Sometimes yellow sandstone coloured or green tinged as well
That is the straightest line I’ve ever seen. No brag, just fact. 👍🏻
You stayed calm, mate. You did a great job. Some people have nothing better to do. Well done, fella.😉
To be honest, you have taken steps to make sure your mess is tidy. You have approached the neighbors where in NZ they just get on with work. Your work is good, your ethic is great and your respect should be respected in return. Great work bro 🤙🏽 from NZ 🇳🇿
Hi nz my daughter lives in wello moved there frl. Uk ten years ago😢🇬🇧
@andrewstratford4753 well hope she is fine here, NZ reasonable place to live. Hope you have been here also?
@@YaMarnis. yes mate five years ago its such a beautiful country, but its hell of a flight from the uk and is very expensive.
Great job! Amazing straight lines especially considering the length and weight of the wand. Your upper body strength must be off the charts. It's nice to see how well you do your job and I pray you stay safe at those heights!
Some people seem to wake up with hate in their heart. You are a very kind and considerate person so you need not worry or let it bother you, because that was his intent. You always do a lovely job. I appreciate you :) Have a good week. :)
Aw what a kind thing to say, thanks so much Mary ❤️
you're welcome but it is true. :)

Who woul have thought thousands of people find watching people jet wash so relaxing. Great job.
😊 thank you
Don’t give up the day job for trying to become a comedian my man 👀😂
@@CB-xr1eg I second this statement 👆😂
So satisfying
Pmsl 🤣 spot on there fella 🙌🙌
"Water might get in my house!", the neighbour says, seemingly unaware of what rainwater does when it falls outside.
yeah , sideways pressurised water and rain water is the same thing
@@LykeArgy I actually thought that England has a lot of rain... when it really rains here, we, the high-pressure cleaners, are pale with envy. Is this the desert region in England?
@@LykeArgy yeah , sideways pressurised water and a 2cm puddle are the same thing 🤣
@@LykeArgyand none of you ignorants have any idea how rooftops are built so shut the fuck up
@@LykeArgy found the wank stain neighbour
I've had complaints about the tools making too much noise, water spashing on cars, can't get the baby to sleep etc.
I always try to let the neighbours know I'm doing work, but some people just like to have a row.
A great transformation on the roof.
Tell em ....move to the country side if you dont like it.
High density living creates angry ENTITLED people....
always look up the legal noise level at certain hours of the day (to have in defence for your sake, theres literally no defence against that) its usually between 7 in for morning to about 10 at night its almost unrestricted because of potential work being done or just that people are awake during those hours.
None of that is your problem. Fuck the neighbours. They'd they'll be creating the same noise when they need work doing.
OK for road workers to start digging holes at 8am 😂 one rule for one ect 😊@@eriksimca9409
I hate that you have to deal with such entitled people. I think the neighbor was just looking at how great of a job you were doing and felt jealous that his was not as nice. Great job as always Nick!
What I don’t get: is having seen a job done well, efficiently and with care
Why would not get the man’s number so you KNOW what your getting when you get them back for yours!
That’s just not neighbourly, this weekend my neighbour came over with a sprayer and chainsaw and helped me clear half my yard, he said “and I don’t want anything, if you can’t help your neighbour there’s something wrong with you” he’s a legend! I bought him his favourite drink, if you can buy a drink for your legend neighbour there’s something wrong with you lol! Amazing job!
Excellent job Nick! Shame about the neighbours - I feel sorry for the client!
Me too. Many thanks Mishka 🙏 as always ❤️
No-one seems to be mentioning your straight lines on the roof!
I am majorly impressed how you managed it.
10 out of 10 for dealing with the buffoon next door.
11 out of 10 far those lines...I'll say it again.....so damn straight!
I am SO IMPRESSED! Really, operating a 20’ (?) long high pressure wand in wind with near-pinpoint accuracy - you must have the arms of Hercules! Beautiful job all around. A few notes …
1. It looks like dealing with a hostile public might be half the job! Kudos for handling both neighbors with such grace. Most of us would probably just escalate the delicate situations.
2. I hope you’re using non-conductive (preferably fiberglass) high-gauge ladders in your work. I bought a 14’ (28’ extended) aluminum ladder shortly after I bought my home, to do my own roofwork and window cleaning. When I went to use it, I was shocked how much it flexed just under my body weight (130 lbs)! When I tried to donate it to my painting contractor, he said, “thank you but no,” for those reasons. Between working with water, around utilities, and at such high elevations, your safety is paramount. Further, were I your mother, I’d make you wear a helmet. 😉
3. I’m curious how exterior home maintenance works for attached homes in the UK. It looked like the entire roof was continuously shingled, yet each unit is responsible for their piece’s maintenance after that? Would some sort of roof tile/shingle masking tape make the delineation between the subject property and the neighbors help?
The helmet remark reminded me of one of my bosses many many years ago. Our highest building was 200ft tall with a 30x30 ft flat roof and a 3 foot wall around it. Whilst working up there fitting lights on top of the wall the boss came and started ranting about not wearing a helmet. I just looked up into the sky, laughed and carried on.
@@royboy6890 OMG - at 200’, only a 10’ diameter of bubble wrap and a prayer could have hoped to save you!
I think that both neighbors were salty that your customer’s roof was looking sooooo much better than theirs 😂😂. Great job.
Many thanks Molly 🙏
Green eyed monsters either side 😬
Quite the study in humanity there Nick. I did notice the roof was smiling at the end 😉.
Why did I find this so therapeutic? I used to do similar work in a previous life. Must be the nostalgia. Great work
You were kind, polite and considerate. The same cannot be said of the neighbour.
That's very kind of you Maurice, thank you 🤝
A grand job indeed ! A hard working bloke doing an essential job to protect the house. Thanks a lot and well done.
Watching from Indiana with my 8 year old granddaughter. 👍👏 ❤❤ It’s a blessing that people like you know how to do this work and have proper equipment for the job. I’m impressed. TY for filming and sharing this with us.
You are so welcome, thank you both for watching ❤️
You were the highlight of their day, they would have nothing much more to complain about otherwise. Roof looked great after you had finished. The timelapse is strangely satisfying to watch. Good work sir.
Sometimes neighbors don't understand that allowing you to do your job will only raise value in the neighborhood. Overall it's only a small inconvenience to them. You taking the high road and staying calm speaks volumes...and maybe could lead to a call from one of them to go ahead and do their roof down the road. Nice work and great job showing us the before, after, and details in the middle!
Grouches like these usually want to die in these homes and don't care what the value is.
Wow imagine being stuck with neighbours like that. You’d think they’d be pleased she’s maintaining her house. His grass looks like it needs a water anyway.
Awesome job mate, well done !
I come across neighbours in my job as a gardener who can be as nasty. I'm an Englishman living in Australia, whilst servicing a property last week, 2 or 3 leaves blew onto a man's property across the road, he came out and verbally abused me, I went across to say sorry and remove the leaves, to which he replied after he heard my accent that I didn't belong in his country, and he would beat the crap out of me, plus a lot of other expletives. I guess some people are just plain nasty and have nothing better to do or are angry with everyone else because of their own problems. Keep up the good work mate, and ignore the haters, roof looks amazing!!!
Id call the police on the ignorant wretch !!!
You beat me to it just call the next Karen an arsehole😂
You held it together perfectly. 18:06 "i don't know why people are like this" i've battled with this very thing this for years, I hear you bud.
Some people just suck. Good job staying cool.
What a nasty mess - Finished job looks great and you handled the neighbor without losing your cool. Awesome job!
A pride to your profession, an amazing job well executed and a credit to the trade, so total respect from me. As for the neighbour.....absolutely shocking, a disgrace to to community.
This job creates a massive aerosol of crap that goes everywhere. A bit of notice, rather than telling his semi-detached neighbour as it was about to happen, might have avoided all this.
Impressed how you hold that power washer pole all the way to top🙏👏👏👏
I only once pressure washed a roof and never ever will i do it again. The clear up afterwards was insane.
Lol, I hear ya mate 👍
Nick the difference between the before and after. Most excellent job you did! As to the grumpy man. He needs to find something to get himself busy on, and stop constantly complaining, and making everybody else’s lives miserable! Thank you
People often blow things out of proportion, like the risk of flooding his house ! Another great reason for filming your work it keeps everything in perspective . Nice work pal .
When people used to lose their minds over a little water, I would ask them what they do when it rains.
All I see here is a hard working man taking every possible precaution to work safely and tidily. Cracking job, sir.
Thank you so much ☺️
Congratulations on your patience, persistence, and a beautiful clean!! Well done!!
Great work. Some people are never happy unless they are giving others grief.
I wonder who that guy shouts at when it starts raining and that little puddle starts forming...
Excellent job under difficult circumstances Nick. Well done for remaining a complete professional as ever.
Have a great week - going to be a warm one! thanks for the upload :)
Sir Nick you did a great job and that line is so straight. It's impressive. Looks like the neighbour has to get a life.!!! Imagine a puddle 2 meters away from his house on a down slope would flood his house. What a lot of faff for nothing.
You are so polite and kind. You sir are a GENTLEMAN.
Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you 😍. Cheers to you too from a boiling hot, sunny Cambridge 🥵
You did a fabulous job, in spite of the nonsense from the neighbours.
You are very patient and calm .
I would have asked where is your drain ? can you imagine a heavy downfall ! it was only a small puddle away from the house anyway. Well done Nick for keeping your cool.
Thanks mate, appreciate that 👍
If he's worried about that puddle, what's he like when it rains or snows? Also, nice outcome on the roof. I bet you won't be in a rush to return if the attached neighbour wants their roof doing to match.
Pretty sure that would be a hard "no"!
I'd charge them double.
I am a Chartered Surveyor and I would recomend this guy. Beautiful job. Well done Nick.
Cheers Birchy, I really appreciate that 🤝
You have my sympathies! We have lovely neighbours one side, and whinging, spiteful, inconsiderate neighbours the other. I have to fight my urge to call the police all the time.
That complaint was ridiculous. He’d get a bigger puddle from a normal English rainfall. He was clearly after something for free!
It looked really lovely at the end and showed the other two roofs up big time. 👏
Great transformation 😂
I have had similar situations with neighbours, you did the right thing stay calm, smile and be polite that's all you can do, they were probably only jealous as their roofs were minging 😂😂
😆 thanks mate, much appreciated 👍
I like your scaffolding, the way you setup and breakdown into a efficient way.
That is one hell of a transformation. The line that separates the roof from the neighbours is as straight as a die. Great job.
The thing that struck me is your honesty. The customer would never have known about the cracked tile, but you still owned up to it and had it replaced. Incredible service.
It wasn't a case of owning up to it. He didn't crack it, you can see it was already done. He just decided to replace it as an act of kindness.
being recorded might have somert to do w it
@tinyrodent2821 @theapocalex did you even watch the video properly? the tile was clearly already cracked, wakey wakey.
@georgemay3196 It's really not that deep. Besides, surely that's even better? He's replacing a tile that he didn't even crack, they're paying him to clean, not repair, so he's still doing it on his own choice.
@@georgemay3196 You're a knobhead, wakey wakey.
Difficult situation so well done for keeping a cool head and achieving what the customer wanted regardless of the drama... 🖤
😮The transformation was visible. Good job🤗
What an absolute fantastic job you do, so thorough, so respectful and overall great guy. Shame on that neighbour for being awkward with you, he should be glad he had someone respectful like you. Sometimes people do not deserve to be treated nicely when they act like complete P....s .... Amazing work ❤
Nice work Nick, I think you exhibited great calm and restraint with those neighbours.Anyone that follows you can tell from your videos that you have great work ethics, shame they couldn’t see that 👏👏👏👍🙂
Many thanks Bob, that's very much appreciated 👍🙂
Totally respect tradesman like Nick from Prestige Cleaning, for the undeniable results they produce and professionalism when dealing with members of the public. That neighbour wearing a skirt designed for a hotter climate, was most likely scared of the " magical " long black snake spitting water onto the roof and was worried it might come and drown & then eat him and his family. I work for a large construction company refurbishing social housing in central London, for the past 13yrs, and as part of the management team dealing with the public daily I have come to the conclusion 85% of the public are psychotic/mental most of the time, and even worse after Lockdown.
That looks to be the most satisfying job anyone could have. The start and end results are amazing
He must be so upset because of water... Its not as if England was famous for rain....
I was thinking the exact same thing
Me too. Who does he get angry at when it rains?
@@Pandorably the guy is dressed like a 8th century Muslim... It has nothing to do with water but it's about hate and racism against Caucasians... My opinion! 🙏
@@Pandorably exactly 😂
I was going to say what dose he do when it rains?😂
Great job and I loved how the bird sat on the top of the roof to watch your job.
The bird was waiting for it to be cleaned so he could leave a "dropping" on it, lol.
@@triciac1019 just like my car lol
@@CuratedDrives Exactly!
I'm amazed at how straight you cut the line in between the houses 👏🏻
Thank you for being the adult in this situation. Loved the music.
Hey scottygirl, thanks for the great comment and feedback 👍
Never seen work like yours before, you've done a superb job. I have OCD for somethings like straight lines, back and front lines, spot on.
Great job and unfortunately you can’t always please everyone but well done for keeping calm and being professional and respectful!👍
That is quite the transformation! I'm so glad you continued with the clean-up work! It's probably one of the most important aspects of any job! Well done ❤
What a transformation
Very relaxing video to watch
I used to be a contract cleaner & I love watching something really grubby get all shiny & clean
The roof looks amazing , so satisfying to watch
As for the 2 territorial neighbours
Jealousy is a terrible emotion 😂
Excellent result on that roof
Stumbled onto to this video, so glad I did. Hypnotic to watch, so relaxing and what a nice, honest man you are.
The best therapy for my latest heart attack.

We are surrounded on every side by Narcissists. It's important to remember that they were MADE that way by the Narcissistic abuse they suffered at the hands of their parents, acquaintances, co-workers, etc. None of us begin life with the urge to upset others - it's definitely a learned trait and a PLAGUE on society at large. All we can do is recognize it for what it is and AVOID those people at all costs. Good job staying calm, Nick. Nice work on that property, too!
Lol
Must have been pre- existing problems with your home owner and neighbours.
Your care and brilliant work is a statement. Love it!
Why can’t people just “ live and let live” the world would be a much better place! Well done on ALL counts and what a lovely job!!
Job professionally carried out well done bud. Usually awkward people like next door have desk jobs and never have had to do actual work especially dirty stuff in their life. They think things get done with a magic wand.
Very kind of you to replace cracked tiles as well as doing a mighty job on the roof. Sometimes people amaze me with their selfish, ignorant behaviour. How does he cope when it rains? He must go totally nuts.
I was a window cleaner and used to have a few customers on the Crown estate in Oxshot, Surrey, the 4 - 7 million pound houses. I don't miss using the 47ft Gardiner on the pool house roofs, I can tell you that for nothing. Keep up the solid work my fiend, stay safe out there.
Well, a challenging job to say the least! That neighbour! Very frustrating for you Nick, but brilliant outcome. You navigated the tight quarters to get your items to the back, the neighbour, the straight lines on the roof, very very well. Here is to a good week ahead.
What a great comment, thank you very much 👍
He could of said mine looks awful could you do mine? Like when new neighbors move in and redo their house or lawn
They could live where we do and your insurance company won’t insure you if your roof is 12 years or older. Require you to get whole new roof and wind migation
Mount a small rubber caster wheel to the end of your lance and it’s easier to control. You can fit them to give you the correct height for your washer to be effective at long distances :)
I was thinking the similar .. a small metal frame that can be attached near the end with a couple of wheels, maybe even inflatable tires about six inches to navigate the bumps.
It could possibly damage some of the tiles, seeing even one already got damaged from the water pressure.
@@NecramoniumVideoTwo Soft low pressure tyres would would do no damage, very little weight would be involved, high water pressure can be quite forcefull and damaging, hard casters would be a different matter regards damaging the tiles!
there's absolutely no chance on any planet that two small rubber wheels damage tiles.@@NecramoniumVideo
There are always "experts" trying to tell people how to do their jobs. He did a very good professional job without having a wheel fitted.
A lot more work involved than I thought Brilliant job sir
Due to the fact that Karen was worried of the puddle of water going into her house I can only imagine that they don’t have rain in that area of England lol…

Great job Nick! Your roof videos are my favorite. It always amazes me how precise you are with the line, especially when you get to the top. Your eyesight obviously is very good!
