Hi guys,
What do you feel are the best options for spraying a driveway or patio after pressure washing. Im using biocide (rather than hypo) and now looking for a more efficient way of applying it. For those that use biocide, what have you found the best way to apply it, electric pump (back pack) or just hand held sprayer (decent one). I like to saturate the surface, so not looking to just spray it around. Any help appreciated, before i go out and buy something later this week.
Thanks in advance guys...

We use a nano trolly and 25 ltr drum

ive got a loncin been fantastic had it 4 years no issues at all its normaly screaming flat out  for hours mine 15lpm 250 bar

most of our customers come to us - so I am happy/comfortable to charge a first clean

when canvassing only those that are really bad are charged extra - when approaching a customer I'm less comfortable to charge a first clean

that's the problem with a "Quote" rather than an estimate - strictly speaking you should honour the price where an estimate can result in the price going up or down.

If it were me I would carry out the cleans - £4 x 5 properties is hardly breaking the bank is it ? - do 6 cleans then increase the price to bring them into line with your other work - depending on the canvasser agree he only receives 50% for them or nothing  or gets full price but provides replacement FOC - I'm sure that would more than cover the "loss"

Hes requoted one of the jobs at a higher price, the other ones ive agreed to do at agreed price but will increase after 3 cleans.  Hes discounted all the jobs that were under price.  The work is really compact, so its not breaking the bank.  Yeah the jobs are £4 under, but all said and done its compact canvassing, so hourly rates should still be pretty good as virtually no travel time between jobs.

We do lots of work where jobs are priced £5+ higher but its because theres like 2-5 mins driving between each job, so again i can allow for lower pricing on the condition thats its compact, and again ill just up the prices after a few cleans worst case!

Briggs vanguard are a cracking engine much more power than a Honda uses less fuel , and much quieter, Loncin have a good reputation but personally not had one .

Im looking at the 14hp  vanguard fraction cheaper than the honda but i know the gx390 is the go to. I do fancy the vanguard tbh

The Briggs is head and shoulders above the Honda I have had a couple of then in the past would never go back to them now
