Pressure Washing WFP
« on: June 16, 2010, 08:02:15 am »
Hi
Can anyone advise me i have a building front to clean as part of an overall patio/walkway clean .
On low pressure could i adapt a 35ft wfp to a pressure washer to carry out a general wash down of  the building, it's a painted surface and covered in cobwebs.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Richie

You can hire out the lances for about £20 a day.

The pole hose wouldn't stand up to the job if you hooked it up to a pressure washer.

You could try hooking the wfp up to an outside tap. If the pressure is good it should be fine. I did some upvc cladding cleaning and hooked up to the outdoor tap that way. Worked a treat for me.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

Agree - I use outside taps on first cleans and gutter/facia cleans where possible - I then finish off with pure water as normal.  Saves using pure water when you have limited supply ie. small vehicle etc.

Hi outside tap works great but depending on what your cleaning you can get an attachment from Tucker Pole that will let you use a deterent I have one it works well, but you only need it if the surface is really bad.  Or if your trying to use a high pressure jet you can get lances that reach upto 30feet.  Any problems let me know.
