Jeff,

Im really interested in starting to use a pressure washer for cleaning fascias

What pressure washer do you use or wish you had bought?

Regards

Alistair

I bought my first pressure washer from Toolstation around £200 I think.

I then had a chance of a bigger better one, I used the bigger one on a couple of Jobs and found it to big and cumbersome, and a little too powerful, I have now reverted back to my cheapy one from toolstation.

On some real green guttering jobs the cheapy doesn't fetch of all the black marks underneath the green, but its just a quick flick over with the wfp brush and re blast it, the jobs always come up a treat, takes half the time of ladders and I used them on guttering for years.

Cheers Jeff,

Sorry about all the questions but do you know what the psi of your pressure washers are? as I reckon if I bought one that was somewhere between your 2 that'd be about right

Also I take it there diesel/petrol powered

And while im asking I remember some talk on here a while ago about algaecide/fugicide and was thinking about offering this as a extra service at an inflated price    Do you know anything about this?

Thanks

Al

can  you get  a pressure washer with a long lance?

is it high pressure lance you are using jeff. i have reach and wash system for doing gutters, but i'm desprate to find a long lance to spay tfm to guttering as using ladders and short lance is messy and time consuming.. all suggestions greatly recieved

hey alistair, can i use the water from the tank of my reach and wash system to use a pressure washer?

[Alistair@AWC]

Richy,

Im no expert on pressure washers im still trying to gather info myself

But if you mean can you use static water from your tank rather than pressurised water from a tap - im pretty sure not all washers will do this but you can get them as thats what I'll be looking at.

The best place to get info on this is the general cleaning section of this site, theres a lot of driveway cleaners, graffiti removal guys etc on there.
