Annoys me that some people who sit in fart filled rooms and have never experienced the job can make decisions on how a job should be done. Stuff em. 👌👍
😂 I started this channel to prove blasting isn't as bad as the hear say of folk that only have been told about blasting to make the sound knowledgeable 👌👍
@@Mobileblaster keep the videos coming legend 😉👌👊👍
Hi Mick ,
When I Got My New Second Hand Blaster a Couple Of Weeks ago It Came With A Shit Hood /Helmet
I’m Looking at So Many I can’t Make Up My Mind What One Do you Find Works the Best For You.
Fair Play To You This Is a Very Interesting Channel and You Work Hard for Your Dow. 👍
@darrenfarrell-bn2cb hands down the best lid I've used nova 3 I've had alot of years in the red lid also used some cheap lids turns out nova 3 is the one for me I cannot even think of anything they could do to improve it maybe put some Bluetooth speakers in the ear defense that would be nice but other than that 👌
That came up great, it would be nigh on impossible to effectively strip sutch a textured brick with chemicals to anything like the same standard.
Not the first time I have seen dubious advice from a surveyor, trouble is people are often reluctant to get a second opinion.
Why can so called experts offer advice on something they clearly have no idea about?
U tell them people talk about it but have never held a blast hose 😮
@@Mobileblaster Had a "certified" home inspector go over my new house before I bought it. He gave it a clean bill of health and only dinged a couple of missing outlet covers. After moving in, I did my own survey and found all sorts of defects and outright safety hazards. Hot and cold water supply reversed in the tub, an orange extension cord hard wired into the breaker panel for the lights on the front and the 110 power to the hot tub was just an unmounted outlet, wrapped in black tape and hanging loose in a box were just three of the things he missed. I sent him MY survey (20 pages) and asked him to explain how he missed all these things. After telling me how long he had been doing this, and that I had no idea on how to do inspections, I told him that I had been a state crane inspector for 20 years and that he was an idiot. The lawyer got my money back.
Brilliant job mick you wouldn't even know the paint was there first day
😊👌👍
Loads of them building surveys are not worth the paper they are written on.
I'm Carpenter & Joiner & had a woman say her survey needed some structural work done in the roof, when I got up in the roof she had a traditional cut roof with no issues, but her report said she had a truss roof & listed faults that didn't exist. The surveyor had clearly just copy & pasted the report from another house down the road not realising they were different as he had obviously not even looked up in the roof.
Had another one wanting straps put on rafter into the cavity & house didn't even have cavity walls it just had a 4 inch skin for the gable ends.
So I concur loads of these Surveyors don't know what they talking about.
What gives them the right tho? Jack of all trades expert in none but got to keep them self's in a job so sounds like they know more than someone that's not from a building background.
The other issue is these surveyors charge £thousands for these reports but seem to have zero accountability when the information in their report is incorrect.
@WombleUK yeah when they are proven wrong they should have to pay thousands in compensation that would stop them 😂
Great work....looks much better!
😊👌👍
Like anything, the people behind the tool makes all the difference between a great job and a disaster. Great job 👍
😊👌👍
A "friend" wrecked my previous car's rear bumper with a pressure washer. yet we still use them all over the world to wash cars :p
Blame the idiot, not the tool.
Exactly 👌 just a shame it doesn't work that way with sandblasting people don't understand it fully so they Google it and hear all the negative things about bad jobs/bad operators then the industry gets the flack
Thanks Mick, great video. I myself do sandblasting and if had a lot of people ho told me that they don't want aluminium and brick blasted because it destroys it😂😂, but blasting at a lower pressure won't cause any damage, correct me if I'm wrong mick
I used 125psi @ 425cfm on this job 👌
@@Mobileblaster "but look at all those bits of brick flying out!!" Yea, if they take off with the nozzle that far away, they weren't doing much to begin with lol
Great job! So much better, Mick! Again, another cover-up with rendering which causes even more problems. Why why why do people do this ? 😮 even the bad bricks look better than the dodgy rendering 😊 but, said before, keeps you busy & in a job 😅
I really like these jobs because he was at the end of his tether trying all the other methods good job he phoned me I reassured him that the inspector wouldn't even be able to tell I've been he's talking sh!t blasting isn't as bad as he was telling the owner and the buyer. This is what I'm up against trying to prove to people not all operators are bad just the in experienced give the whole industry a bad name. I was subscribed to a youtuber he made a video saying sandblasting has recked his truck well I sent him a message saying don't say its because of blasting tell the viewers it's a bad operator that's recked your truck he then replied saying it's because of blasting the operator has been blasting 20+ year well I said he needs to watch some of my videos proving time and time again it can be done without issues I've not had a response since. I've gone off him since 😒
Pięknie jest to wysodowane wypiaskowany wodą Karcherem Nawet nie wiedziałem że można wodą piaskować metal tak samo pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍
No the water is only added for dust suppression it's still sandblasting 👍
Good.job Nice show 😃👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you 😊 👌👍
I used to sandblast timber chairs it would open the grain but the restorer was happy normally 300 at a time for hotels , coral to remove worm holes to increase the value , it always depends on the material if it can be done
Soft timber would benefit from soda and the grain would be fine 👌👍 but it would take some time to do 300 😏
@@Mobileblaster this was around 1992
@bigears4014 I can only imagine that the technology / media's have improved since then but I still wouldn't want to take on 300 chairs must have been hard graft I really don't like stuff like patio sets gates furniture takes alot of concentration 😂
@@Mobileblaster blasting long boats is harder than chairs
Excellent work.
I’d be more worried about the slab of concrete bridging that DPC and the height of that tarmac.
Looks like they’ve had some numpty paint those few courses to deal with rain bounce from the hard surface.
Siloxane based coating after the brick clean should keep them dry and protected
Me personally I would repoint the joints with lime motor and re inject the dpc should be good for years to come. A 4" gap around the building with pea gravel for good measure to help with any standing water would be a decent idea when I was jetwashing the water was running away from the house so possibly not needed
@@Mobileblasteryes I did notice it was originally lime and seems to have been pointed in cement.
No wonder the bricks are blowing at the bottom.
I always prefer a gap. Hate seeing hard surface right up to brickwork.
It’s nice to see someone who knows what they’re doing overall and not just blast cleaning only
I hope the owner listens to your advice
Was there any concern with that 3-flap gravity vent [assumed terminated to a “traditional” vented tumble dryer in the kitchen/utility room] you blasted under it, with water/sand getting into it and the duct?
@samuelfellows6923 a little water could have blown into it but the media stream should have stayed away I reckon I would have sent more water in with the jatwasher after than with the blaster 😬😂
call it air abrasion.
sand blasting dry.
I used the vortech for years great bit of kit. I just got sick of cleaning up after though 😂❤
The water is only added for dust suppression it doesn't do anything more wet or dry its still sandblasting. Clean up is a real pain takes longer than the blasting its self 🫣😂
I’m certified to restore historical buildings. The inspector was concerned about that mortar between the bricks. The sandblaster takes off the smooth layer and makes it porous. In this case, it needs to be repointed after sandblasting to restore the smooth water resistant surface. You did nothing wrong, the mortar would need to be fixed no matter how the paint was removed.
As a certified person you should know that ruff cement repells water just as much as smooth cement. If it was a problem why do they build new houses with chariot pointing? Or why dose some concrete have so many finishes brush polish tamp patern etc they all have the same properties at repelling water. Etching the cement won't course a problem 👍
@@Mobileblaster When Portland cement is used you are correct. If lime mortar is used the smooth surface matters
@boden8138 yeah lime is far better in terms of keeping the older style bricks intact I think originally it should have been lime but it's been re done at some point with cement also the bottom had been rendered for some reason ultimately making it have issues.
hello Mick Blackle SandBlaster & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Mick Blackle SandBlaster Friends Randy
I'm glad your enjoying them 👌👍😊
Tell the inspector the job was done with a chemical paint stripper and I doubt they would be any the wiser!
The owner had people come out only 1 guy could remove it and it wasn't 100% he wanted 3x as much my quote
see it every day. Some numpty fresh out ov
uni . Calling shots never worked on tools . Really? Great job koker
It boils my piss tho to think a so called expert can offer advice like that when clearly they haven't a clue. I can take the paint off a coke can and then polish it to a mirror finish with a sandblaster why do they think I will reck 4" concrete brick? 🤔 English heritage is to blame for listening to the sales pitch of a well-known blast manufacturing company look on their website about SandBlasting I will happily prove them wrong and the company they have taken a back hander from (the company makes a unique over priced peace of crap that's not worth a toss but backed by English heritage) I can do the exact same plus more from a £100 modified gas bottle let alone anything with any sort of toys added to it 😏
So Mick are you using a combination of water and sand?
Yes 👌👍
Sand blasting this sort of problem , does bring its own problems like dust nuiancance, how ever this way its much more controlled and a whole different process that the inspector may not be aware of. For instance sand blasting oil / lead based paint is prohibited probably around the world, good job
Well ships are blasted all the time and that's real bad shit some may be recovered but plenty isn't
I think it's the hear say that people believe, the inspector must have heard a horror story from a bad operator and like always the full industry takes the blame. These videos do make it look alot easier than it is. It takes time to gain the skills needed to perform at this level I like to showcase my work just to prove that blasting as an industry is an option for this type of work 👌
Wait. You are an expert we should not listen to? I’m confused. If the exper5 don’t know how who do? Thank you.
A so called expert was offering advice (building surveyor) and his advice to the new buyer of the property was it shouldn't be sandblasted so this video is to ask why it shouldn't be done when clearly a sandblaster in the right hands is a viable option. How can a so called expert say such things?
👍👍👍👍
😊👌👍
God save us from "inspectors"! Here they are mostly retired public servants (police, firemen, etc) who don't even know what they're looking at but it's a good "easy" post retirement income for them. Couple of hundred $ for the first inspection, a hundred or so for every subsequent return (most houses have five or so inspecton areas so five "specialized" inspectors and nothing is ever passed on the first time so you can start the multipling...) they get a cut and the city takes theirs and the only one getting screwed is the homeowner so who cares, right?
My BIL had to explain to one city inspector why the changes the inspector wanted my BIL to make would actually end up killing the homeowner. If you have to have licensed contractors why doesn't government have to have licensed inspectors? SMH
It works a little different hear in the UK if someone is buying a house and getting mortgages the bank request they have a independent inspection report as seen these guys aren't experts they mainly advise what can go wrong it's right saying it could course damp etc but very much wrong in the methods they pick 😉
Sand blasting is a very risky process and can destroy the surface of the bricks with resultant damage to the construction. I would not recommend sand blasting on brickwork and therefore I would support the surveyors opinion. Rather than the surveyor going back to school, I would suggest that Mick Brackley takes a course on construction materials and building construction.
Maybe look into blasting more its all down to the operator if I can take the paint off a coke can and then polish to a mirror finish "expensive way of doing it like" that sort of skill level can blast a 4" concrete brick 👍 or many more construction materials 👌👍
@@Mobileblaster I don't doubt there are some skillful blasters out there and that there are alternative materials that are more appropriate and less potentially less damaging than high pressure spray and sand. The issue is that in my experience the sand blasting industry is full of operatives that don't know/care about the materials and construction they are cleaning. You are unlikely to find any historic building being cleaned with high-pressure water/sand and those buildings are being monitored by seasoned building professionals.
You derided the fact that one contractor used a pressure wash and caused damage but you were content to pressure wash with the addition of abrasive sand. Most buildings in UK are simply not designed to withstand any pressure washing and doing so carries a big risk of damage that may not be apparent for months or even years, long after the culprit has left.
@clivewilliams3661 I blasted my house 5 years back and I've solved damp issues it's over 140 years old. I do every job as if I was doing my own. 45psi vs a pressure washer 2500/3500psi that's DIY tackle it is a lot less damaging than the rap it gets. Sandblasting as an industry gets a bad rap for the bad operators's many guys out there are skilled enough to know low psi and soft media at the right pitch and distance mixed with the right amount of water and media flow makes for perfect removal chemicals and pressure washer would course alot more damage in my experience. I've done work on grade 2 listed buildings with inspectors keeping a close eye on my work and I can 100% guarantee blasting is nothing near as bad as you think in the right hands 👍
Just goes to show maybe he shouldn’t be a surveyor!!! No more to say.
Or even say I'm no expert but I've googled and seen alot of negative things said about SandBlasting as nearly every site will say the same thing hence only way of me trying to prove these people wrong is showcase how it should be done. Don't get me wrong in the wrong hands a blaster is a pure beast and it can course alot of damage very quick I try and make my point that these videos arnt a how too as alot more is happening than the videos show I will admit it they do make it look easy but if I was to watch someone who has alot of talent plastering that looks easy but we know it isn't 😂
Those bricks looked rough as f*** WITHOUT and blasting. I reckon that paint would have been the LEAST likely candidate for causing damp, probably more likely to prevent it.
Alot of the houses in this area had the bottom rendered up to dpc and a few had to have it removed due to damp I personally think that it could be an underlying issue with the dpc membrane solve that remove any paint or rendering or any other crap the house wasn't designed to have re point it and it should be as good as new 😊
