What a pressure cleaner service actually involves
Pressure cleaners cop a hammering. Pumps, hoses, fittings, engines, motors, all working under high pressure for hours at a time. Most jobs that come in are one of these:
Pump service & repair
The pump is the heart of the unit. We strip it, check for wear, replace what needs replacing, and pressure test before it leaves the bench.
Loss of pressure
If your cleaner is pulsing, surging, or just not building pressure like it used to, we'll find the cause and sort it.
Leaks & drips
Water leaking from the pump, the gun, the hose connections, or the lance. Usually a worn seal or fitting. Quick fix once we've got it on the bench.
Routine servicing
Pressure cleaners need regular maintenance to keep running properly. Most people skip it. We'll bring yours back up to spec.
Hose, lance & gun repair
The bits you handle take the most punishment. Leaking guns, damaged lances, split hoses. Genuine replacements where needed.
Engine & motor service
Petrol engine won't start? Electric motor cutting out? We service the engine end, not just the pump.
A note for North Fremantle pressure cleaner owners
North Fremantle is a mix of established residential, beachfront blocks, and trades running out of home workshops. Plenty of cleaners and detailers along the coast, plus the usual run of homeowners with their once-a-month patio blast.
Salt air is the recurring issue down here. The brass fittings on most pressure cleaners corrode from the outside in if you don't rinse the unit with fresh water after a coastal job. We see North Fremantle pumps with seized swivel fittings and locked-up trigger guns more than anywhere else in the south.
Brands we service
Karcher · Gerni · Stihl · Bar · Honda · Generac · Bosch · Ryobi · AR Blue Clean
If it's a pressure cleaner and it's broken, we can have a look. Petrol or electric, residential or commercial, doesn't matter where you bought it.
Annual service intervals on a pressure cleaner
Cars get a service every 10,000km or 12 months. Pressure cleaners need similar care. Not yearly necessarily, but on a clear interval.
Service intervals depend on use, but here's a sensible framework based on hours of operation:
Light residential use (occasional weekends):
- Every 50 hours of use, OR every 2 years, whichever comes first.
- Includes pump oil change (if applicable), engine oil change for petrol units, full inspection of seals, hoses, and fittings.
Regular residential use (monthly cleaning sessions):
- Every 30 hours of use, OR annually.
- Same scope as above, with closer attention to pump seal condition.
Trade/commercial use (daily or near-daily):
- Every 100 hours of use, OR every 6 months.
- Pump rebuild kit at 200 to 300 hours.
- More aggressive seal and valve replacement schedule.
What a service should cover:
- Pump oil drain and refill (for units with pump oil reservoirs).
- Engine oil change (petrol units).
- Air filter clean or replace (petrol units).
- Spark plug check or replace (petrol units).
- Inspection of all seals and O-rings, replacement of any showing wear.
- Inspection of high-pressure hose for soft spots and damage.
- Function test of unloader valve.
- Check of trigger gun seals and operation.
- Inlet filter clean.
- External inspection of frame, wheels, fittings.
- Pressure test under load.
Cost depends on the unit and what's needed. A clean residential cleaner with no problems might be a few small parts and an hour of labour. A neglected unit might need a few hundred dollars of work to get right.
If you're not interested in DIY, this is the type of job we do regularly. Send it in once a year, get it back fresh. If you are interested in DIY, all of the above can be done at home with basic tools and a couple of hours.
The point is doing it on schedule. Not waiting until something breaks.

Common questions
Do you pick up from North Fremantle?
Yep. Pickup and delivery available across North Fremantle. We've been running services through this part of Perth for years.
How much does a pressure cleaner repair cost?
Depends on what's wrong and what brand you've got. Once we've stripped it on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before doing any work. No hourly charging, no surprises.
My pressure cleaner won't build pressure. Worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "no pressure" jobs are unloader valves, worn pump seals, or blocked nozzles. None of those are expensive fixes on a decent unit. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my pressure cleaner?
Annual oil change at minimum on the pump end. Tradies running them daily should service the pump every 6 months. Most homeowners never service theirs, which is why pumps fail at 5 years instead of 15.
Do you service electric pressure cleaners and commercial units?
Both. Karcher K-series and Bosch electrics, all the way up to Gerni and Stihl commercial petrol units. The pump end is similar across most of them, just different sizes and pressures.
How long does a repair take?
Usually back to you within a week. If parts have to come in (some of the European brands), we'll let you know.
