Post by: mfwindowcleaner on July 15, 2007, 02:36:08 pm

hi all
been asked by a few customers recently to do their driveways , (mostly monoblock)

I wouldn't spend that amount of money until you are sure this is for you, you can buy some decent stuff off ebay, but make sure the washer has a genuine honda engine, these will run all day long and are reliable.

Try:  www.northerntooluk.com

They have some good gear, I bought a 20" surface cleaner for just £223.

Looking at the same gear as me Picking up a 6HP Washer like the one off northern tool for £345 inc delivery

What do you think to all the attatchments? Worthwile?

I have used the 20" surface cleaner on concrete and slabs / block paving and I get good results. has for attachments such as gutter cleaning, I use a ladder / bucket & trowel.

Yeh i suppose!

I agree with steve go a Bit Smaller My Complete Kit Should have cost me Under £1k once it's all set up.

If it goes well you sell it off as a package and upgrade to something better!
