Karcher HD 5/11 Pressure Washer Hire London | 230V Cold Water Jet Wash

Yes. With 110 bar working pressure and a 490 l/h flow rate, it’s a strong fit for most patio surfaces. Use a wider spray angle on softer or older stone, and always test a small area before working over the full patio.

Yes for routine driveway cleaning — block paving, slabbed driveways, concrete and paths all sit comfortably in its range. For very heavy, ingrained grime on commercial-grade driveways, the Heavy Duty 240V is the better step up.

For trade and serious property maintenance, yes. The Karcher HD 5/11 is a professional unit with a more capable pump and faster flow rate than typical DIY washers, so it gets exterior cleaning done quicker and copes better with regular use.

Yes. The HD 5/11 is a 230V machine that plugs into a standard UK 13A socket. If you have no mains supply on site, choose the petrol pressure washer instead.

Yes — a standard cold-water tap or feed and a hose to connect it to the unit. The HD 5/11 accepts a feed temperature up to 60°C (do not exceed). Confirm any required accessories before hire.

Cold water. The HD 5/11 does not heat water itself. Cold-water pressure washing is ideal for general exterior cleaning but isn’t a replacement for hot-water units when you need to lift heavy oil, grease or industrial residue.

Yes — that’s its sweet spot. The HD 5/11 is a Karcher professional unit built for regular trade use without stepping up to a heavy-duty industrial machine. Property maintenance, lettings turnaround, shopfront cleaning and trade exterior work are all comfortable jobs for it.

Use with care. Brickwork can usually be cleaned with the HD 5/11, but check pointing and mortar condition first — if anything is loose, soft or crumbling, pressure washing can wash material out of the joints. Use a wider spray angle and greater distance, and call us if in doubt.

Call first. Render condition varies enormously. Modern, sound render in good condition can sometimes be cleaned at low pressure — but older, damaged or already-cracked render should be assessed by a specialist before using a pressure washer on it.

Use with care. Timber decking can be pressure washed, but use a wider spray pattern at a sensible distance and clean along the grain rather than across it. Test on an inconspicuous board first to check the wood’s reaction.

Choose the petrol pressure washer instead. The HD 5/11 needs a 230V / 13A mains supply — without it, a petrol unit is the right answer.

Yes. Hireload’s depot is in Greenford UB6 (West London) — collection is available during opening hours at booking. Bring your booking reference and ID.

Yes — London delivery is available by booking, with scheduled delivery and collection slots. Standard delivery is kerbside (the nearest safe vehicle drop-off point). Let us know at booking if you need help moving the unit inside or upstairs.

Pick by job: Electric 240V for light domestic patio work, Karcher HD 5/11 for regular professional patio / driveway / brickwork cleaning, Heavy Duty 240V for tougher driveways and refurb work, and Petrol 2450 PSI when there’s no mains power. The comparison tables above lay it out side-by-side.
