Frequently asked questions
What is the best commercial pressure washer for sustained daily facilities use at Gunwharf Quays?
For sustained daily use across Gunwharf Quays' waterfront retail and restaurant estate, the GB080 (9HP Honda gearbox driven) is the preferred specification. Quieter, cooler and with a longer pump life for operators running three or more hours per day cleaning the waterfront promenade, car parks and forecourts.
Do I need hot water for cleaning the Gunwharf Quays restaurant and food court estate?
Yes — cold water alone will not remove kitchen grease, cooking oils and food residues. The HD140HOT (240V, 140 bar, 8 L/min) is the correct specification. For food-grade environments requiring stainless, the RAPID VSC 240V is correct.
Can I get next-day delivery to Portsmouth on V-TUF pressure washers?
Yes — next-day delivery to Portsmouth and Hampshire PO postcodes on stocked items. Contact 01522 787978 to confirm availability.
