If its just for your own drive would it not be better to get someone in to do the job ?
If you want one to use for work then it would be better to buy a decent one .Have a look at the other posts on here about the same subject.

mark,
I wasnt getting at that i was just saying it seems a bit of a waste of money to buy one just to use it once a year.
If you do want one though just for this purpose though then a cheap one (disposable) should do the job.Presuming you wouldnt be buying a rotary washer and just using a lance then i would think that any machine would do, just make sure it has changeable nozzles and not one with just a pencil jet on it.It would take weeks using one of them.
Dont really know what pressure they put out though.
If you think you may use it for business aswell then get the best you can afford,there have been loads of posts about which washers are suitable for commercial use on here already.
good luck.

if you want to do it as an add on to your business speak to jan she will advise you. they manufacture and sell good quality professional kit. got my gear there. also good aftersales help in my opinion. just to do your own decking / paving just get a little electic karcher with patio cleaning attachment and be prepaired to spend lots of time on it.

good luck

Well, you're already on a winner as you'll certainly be saving more than £50 by doing it yourself..........

Try and get something from 140 BAR and 11 ltr per min and you won't go far wrong!
