« on: July 15, 2007, 02:36:08 pm »
hi all
been asked by a few customers recently to do their driveways , (mostly monoblock)
been toying wth the idea for a while and have decided to take the plunge
anyway ive got about £3000 to spend
can anyone give me the name of a good supplier
as m starting afresh i will need everything from p/washer , whiraway  to hoses and connectors
   cheers

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.

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!
