Power washing
« on: May 13, 2017, 11:38:32 am »
Hi guys, I hope you can help. I need an electric power washer for my own personal use. I get the odd enquiry from my customers to clean small patio areas, but not something that I want to get involved with on a large scale. I would however do the odd small job with it.  Can you guys recommend anything please, as there's so much on the market, with vast price differences. Many thanks.

For your own personal use!
Pass the work on for a small fee and save yourself the hassle.

I agree with Alan, if it's the odd job pass it on, if you are going to offer a service that you want paying for you Need professional kit (and for the odd job it's not worth the investment)

Something for home to clean the car or your patio Spend £200-300 on a well known model . It will takes ages to clean your patio but take your time and it will do a decent job.

I tried doing my own drive with an electric washer, and it wouldn't even draw water through a hose reel  ::)roll

These wee yellow ones tend to break after the winter.
