and if you get a good pressure washer, maybe a black bin or small wheelie bin to fill and feed pressure washer, some taps cannot provide the amount of water needed, so make sure thats a thing you look at JP.

you will also need a ventura for applying chemicals a turbo nozzle is also a must and i would change all lance attachments to tema quick release fittings, if you are going to clean fascias etc an extension lance will also be needed along with the various interchangable nozzles

I would buy a Flat Surface Cleaner like the whirl-a-way.
A turbo nozzle and an extandable lance, I have one that extends to 24ft for fascias and soffits.

Yes but dont get a cheap one, the cheap ones are useless and you would end up using your lance.
Plus you need to get the right model and nozzles for your pressure washer, they differ depending on what size washer you have.
I borrowed a whirl-a-way and it made the job a dam sight easier, I am currently saving up for one.

Matt, do you still use your inexepensive washer? I am in 2 minds as to which way to go, as I have patio work out there waiting, that would cover the cost of a new "cheapy", or, save up for a second hand Honda...decisions, I hate them.
