Pressure Washers & Power Washers

A pressure washer makes light work of even the toughest cleaning jobs. Whether it’s in the garden or on the driveway, a jet wash will blast away dirt and grime in seconds – sparkling results on anything from patios and paving slabs to cars and vans.

At Toolstation, we know performance matters. Your power washer must always rise to the occasion, doing the hard work so you don’t have to. That’s why we only stock the biggest and best brands such as Karcher, Nilfisk, Draper and Hawksmoor.

Pressure Washer Types

With so many pressure washing options to choose from, how do you know which is the best one for you? A light-duty jet washer is perfect if you’re just looking to quickly spruce up some garden furniture or outdoor equipment, but a more heavy-duty alternative will be required for bigger or more regular jobs.

Electric Pressure Washer

An electric pressure washer is the go-to choice for many households. You simply connect a water supply and plug it in – this no-nonsense setup is ideal for a lot of everyday cleaning jobs outside the home, whether you’re removing moss and dirt from patio slabs or cleaning your car on the driveway.

With a variety of power hose and cable lengths available, you can cover a decent amount of ground without needing to unplug – many standard pressure washers will offer anywhere between 3-6m, while larger units can reach up to 10m and beyond.

Cordless Pressure Washer

If you need to work in more wide open spaces and power supply is an issue, consider a cordless pressure washer – these battery-powered alternatives allow you to work anywhere, offering high-pressure performance without the need for an extension lead.

Petrol Pressure Washer

If you need maximum performance while retaining that cordless freedom, a petrol pressure washer has you covered. Suitable for professional use on the toughest jobs, you’ll get longer run times than battery-powered alternatives – cover larger areas without worrying about electrical cables.

Car Pressure Washer

You’ll never need to visit a car wash again if you invest in a pressure washer to clean your vehicle at home. A car pressure washer saves you so much time and effort, removing dirt in an instant and easily accessing those areas that are tricky to reach with a sponge or cloth.
