FAQs

What pressure washer do I need for a UK patio?

110–140 bar is ideal for patios and driveways. Anything under 100 bar struggles with ingrained grime. Over 160 bar is unnecessary for home use.

Can a pressure washer damage patio slabs?

Yes, if used too close or at too high a pressure. Keep the nozzle 15–30cm from the surface and use a fan spray, not a pinpoint jet.

How often should I pressure wash my patio?

Once or twice a year is enough — typically in spring to remove winter grime, and optionally in autumn before the wet season.
