Title: pressure washing gutter/fascias?
Post by: KINGAKNAA on August 04, 2010, 04:37:56 pm

I seem to be picking up a lot of gutter/fascia/soffit washes and normally do them with TFR then wfp. Problem is its doing my neck and back in.

I know some of you lads use a pressure washer & extending lance for these jobs, so was hoping someone would point me in the right direction as to buying a washer!

The one i've found is

http://www.kmsdirect.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=91

Would this be ok? I dont really want to spend a fortune, max £150.

Cheers  ;)

Tech-clean only seem to have large expensive units & ebay prices seem to be roughly the same prices as other websites.

Thanks anyway

When using a pressure washer to clean fascias and soffits, how do you avoid getting gallons of water into the building through the ventilation?
