Cleaning / equipment guide
Pressure cleaner.
A little planning goes a long way.
Lift outdoor grime without buying a machine you only need occasionally. Match the cleaner to the surface, water supply and size of the job.
Before you hire
Potential fit: Concrete paths, sound paving and suitable outdoor hard surfaces.
- Tell the supplier your surface type and area. High pressure can damage timber, grout, paint and soft stone.
- Ask whether a surface-cleaning attachment is appropriate and included.
- Confirm water flow, hose reach, transport dimensions and any fuel charges.
Your hire checklist
- Pressure cleaner
- Suitable hose and fittings
- Supplier-recommended PPE
- Surface attachment if appropriate
A better supplier brief
Measure these first.
- Surface material and condition
- Approximate area in square metres
- Tap location, flow and hose distance
Hire, buy or get help?
Hire when you have occasional work and a suitable machine is confirmed.
Buying may suit regular maintenance if a domestic machine can do the same task.
Get a professional quote for fragile surfaces, uncertain coatings, difficult access or extensive staining.
Costs to ask about
This is a planning guide, not operating instructions. Follow the exact machine manual and supplier training. If you are unsure about the task, use a qualified professional.
