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 O'Connor pressure cleaner owners
O'Connor 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 O'Connor pumps with seized swivel fittings and locked-up trigger guns more than anywhere else in the south.

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.
Get a proper fitted cover, not a tarp
Tarps thrown over equipment trap moisture and rot whatever they're protecting. A fitted breathable cover does the opposite.
Almost every pressure cleaner we see that's been "stored under a tarp" comes in worse than units stored uncovered in the same shed. The tarp creates a microclimate underneath that traps moisture from condensation and from any wet equipment that went under it. Wet equipment + sealed environment = rust on metal, mould on rubber, biological growth on plastic.
What a proper fitted cover does:
- Breathable fabric. Lets moisture out instead of trapping it.
- UV-resistant material. Protects the unit from sun damage when stored outside.
- Fitted shape. Conforms to the unit, no gaps or hanging fabric to flap and abrade in wind.
- Elasticated edges. Stays in place without needing to be tied down.
- Waterproof outer. Sheds rain and dew while the breathable inside vents moisture from underneath.
Many pressure cleaner manufacturers sell branded covers for their units. These are usually best because they're sized to fit. Generic outdoor equipment covers in the right size also work well.
What to look for:
- Weight: 200 to 400 grams per square metre fabric is about right for outdoor use.
- UV rating mentioned (UV 50+ is good).
- Breathable certification (look for "breathable" or "moisture-wicking" in the description).
- Air vents on the underside of the cover (usually two small mesh patches).
What to avoid:
- Plastic sheeting (tarps).
- Heavy rubberised covers (they trap heat and moisture).
- Loose covers that don't fit snugly.
- Covers without vents.
Cost: branded fitted covers run 30 to 100 dollars depending on the unit. Cheap to protect a unit worth 500 to 3,000 dollars.
One thing to remember: don't put a wet unit under a cover. Dry it first. Otherwise even a breathable cover can't keep up with the moisture trapped underneath. Quick wipe-down with a dry rag after each use, then cover.

Common questions
Do you pick up from O'Connor?
Yep. Pickup and delivery available across O'Connor. 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.
