Just a note about our pressure washer range

We supply (and often build)  pressure washers that start from £800.00 up to £15,000
All the cold water ones have the commercial Honda GX range of engines or Diesel powered rather than the lower spec Honda  GC range. We dont want problems for us or our customers which is why we carefully selected the range we sell. We use Izusu diesel engines for our  very big big van and trailer mount units.

The pressure washer we selected for the full gutervac package is absolutly top of the range for a fully mobile cold petrol powered unit, incorporating a reduction gearbox and oversize pump to prevent excesive engine wear.
When used for gutter cleaning it runs with minimum effort and could run all day with out putting any  strain on the engine. This pressure washer can and easily run any size Whirlaway for paving cleaning a service which many of our customers also offer as an add on. We also hire out these units so they have to be reliable and hard wearing. .... So thats the reasoning behind the choice.

I know there are plenty of much much cheaper petrol and electric power washers available from other sources, we set the standard of what specification of equipment we want to supply so we choose not to supply bottom, middle or even the lower level upper range.
We often we supply connectors to link up our high pressure PowerPole to a customers own pressure washer but only if the lance and hose can be detached from one another and they have a screw thread or standard HP push fit connectors (which the very cheap one often dont).

fao glyn  should the above pressure washer be ok for downpipe cleaning thanks,i av a 30 foot powerpole cheers

[drive surgeon]

i have a van, and a 13hp pressure washer/

do i just need the wet n dry vacuum and suction pole with nozzles

i can just use a electic supply on site if its domestic work.

is the power pole to was the gutter out connected to your pressure washer?

what else do i need?

[drive surgeon]

do i need a camera system for domestic work?

[ftp]

You can get up and running for less than £1500 including a trailer, generator, camera, poles, vac and extension lead. If you Diy. No pressure washer but they can be sourced if you want one.

[drive surgeon]

cant you plug into the custys electric? why do i need a trailer when i have a van?

[ftp]

You don't and yes you could use the customers electric. I decided against it in case i tripped their power out. Say they forget to switch the freezer back on and your profits gone. Also if they are out it could be difficult.
There seems to have been stacks of gutter cleaning done in my area, i don't know which method they are using but customers have been paying top whack for less than half a days work.

[ftp]

Had a gutter clean today absolutely chocca with leaves - the vac worked very well clearing it all out. Went on to clean the outside with wfp - got some funny looks from the smug neighbour who was up his ladder wiping his down. Proper nerd all dressed up in his boiler suit.  :
Must admit i did feel a little overprepared what with the generator and all.

[STEVE-UK]

you would of been the one smiling if feel off his ladder. with concern of course

[CLEANGLASSUK]

you would of been the one smiling if feel off his ladder. with concern of course

How can you feel off your ladder 

[CLEANGLASSUK]

you would of been the one smiling if feel off his ladder. with concern of course

How can you feel off your ladder 

I feel (fell) off my ladder once and my legs went through the rungs and my shins scraped along a sharp edge, On both legs there was a 6inch scrape and at the top of each scrape was a big ball of skin and hair. It made me cry 

[drive surgeon]

does the suction pipe get blocked with the crap? is so if its in the middle of the pipe how do you get it out?

[*Derek*]

It w'ont. If it makes it past he head/nozzle it'll make it the est of way. Also a tip i find is flush it with water  its very bad although this fills up vac bit too quickly.

[drive surgeon]

does it suck big leaves through that small head? if not does it get stuck on the end? you know what its like hoovering your car if something getrs stuck on the end?

[drive surgeon]

whats the power pole?  is it a wfp? or a extendable pressure washing lance? or the pole that carries the suction hose for the vacuum?

[ftp]

If anything gets stuck at the head you just flick the power switches off and it will drop to the ground.
