Splash don't waste your money - get a chem injector for £20 and fit it to the lance of your p/w suck up from the barrel - that job would be done in around 25 mins - no scrubbing either

Surely that will give tons of overspray fine mist just like pressure washing would though ??

Not if you use correct nozzles - you don't use 15 degrees

I could reach that no problem - longest I get mine to fire is 35 feet from the end of the lance usually use a 1 meter but have put in on a 2 meter so approx 40 feet plus your hight to your shoulder

Anything 3 story, I use a pole, I use a conical spray tip Ben did for me, it sits in a Gardiner pole.

Anything below I use the Lance, with an adjustable spray tip. It’ll easily hit 3 story’s.

When I do commercial, I use my pressure washer for the rinse, only as it’s faster, using a sniper nozzle.

But for most domestic jobs, it’s just spray out of one barrel, then move the suction hose into the second barrel full of water to rinse. Works a treat. You’ve got up to 30lpm but only 100 odd psi, so it’s fast rinsing and enough to rinse the loosened dirt away.

If windy, overspray is an issue, so get the pole out to be safe.

Thanks we do loads of this type of work but have just used trolleys with Gardiner poles with spray nozzles off Ben , but desperately need to increase speed of the jobs I think it’s time to start changing the way we work the results are fine just need to be much quicker , think I will give Ben a call I do know him quite well as have all my  pressures washing kit off him , thanks for you comments it’s good to get first hand experience from ones that have the kit 👍would you be confident getting theses buildings clean without scrubbing??? Just spray and rinse ?? I know several applications would be needed and rinsing between every other coat Ime guessing?? We are  in discussions with a management company that want us to do 400 buildings very similar to the ones in the pictures, not sure wether to go for it or not .

I’m amazed at how busy you are with the softwashing, I had this conversation with slacky a while back, I’m not getting many enquiries, even though I’m too rated on Google and now had a Google ad running.

I average maybe 2-3 a month. In the summer maybe more, but it seems to be slow here in Essex.

Yeah Ben will sort you out! I think he knows all of us by now!

The last 2 years softwashing has gone through the roof it’s always been an American thing but now ones are starting to know what it is and specifically ask for it , we have just picked up a contract for a gym group the buildings arnt very big but nice profitable work and not to dirty

I love it, it’s great money, but for some reason it’s slow for me at the moment.

I’m also not sure about a particular block of flats, for a management company. No water on site, so I’m just not sure I want the faff!

Must be an area thing then!

I’ve got two separate websites, and a Google ad, yet no where near as busy as you sound, then again, there is a fair amount of competition round here
