Do you use petrol/desel or simple electric.

make sure your pressure washing insurance covers you for damage to property and water ingress issues.

my honda pressure washer 5.5 engine max 1740 psi
is up to the job, i spray the gutter with water first then use a pole with brush
dipped in tfr to loosen dirt on fascia then spray again with 21ft lance.
its first class , jobs that i did last year are still gleaming.

Rob, I had the same issues with using the WFP for UPVC cleaning.
I got a Honda, GX160 5.5hp, 8 litres per minute, 3000psi + a Powerpole from Omnipole.
This set up does a really good job, with a lot less effort.
Still hard work, but not as awkward

Your arms will still be hanging 'cos the pressure washer lances and poles weigh far more than your water fed pole. Don't forget you'll have to lift the weight of a re-enforced pressure hose as well as the pole. The advantage is you'll only support the lance and not need to scrub with it. You'll need some strength left to pack all the kit away back in the van.

Get a bigger washer that will do every job, and just turn the pressure down for the smaller jobs.
13HP 15 litres a minute is a good minimum,.. 3000 psi or more.
