I think the best sysems use compresed air plus small amounts of water and abrasives and operate as stand alone units.

For add on systms try Merril fox (email adress on the other fourum) or www.landypressurewashers.com

You would need to make some sort of portable 'both' in order to catch grit for reuse. HSS hire   do a very efective trailer mounted wet blasting setup. It may be worth hireing one of these in if you have whole facades to clean.

Hello Paul,
                 Had a look at the Landy website. Very useful for the pressure washing side of the business since there only 20 minutes away from me.
           Want to get a stand alone waterless system, hopefully then I can get some indoor work during winter. I've got a sandblasting attachment for the pressure washer, only used it once, enviromental health threatened me with a £20K fine, what a mess, sand everywhere.
       Thanks for your help.              Regards    Peter
