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 West Swan pressure cleaner owners

West Swan 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 West Swan 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.

My pressure cleaner shuts down after a while

Thermal protection cutout means the unit is protecting itself from heat damage. Common with cheap or undersized units.

Thermal cutoffs trip when:

Motor overheats from extended continuous use.

Cooling vents blocked (electric units).

Pump struggling against insufficient water flow.

Ambient temperature too high for the unit's cooling capacity.

What you can do:

Allow the unit to cool fully (15 to 30 minutes).

Clean cooling vents (electric units).

Check water flow is adequate.

Schedule breaks during long jobs.

Work in shade rather than direct sun.

If thermal cutoffs are frequent:

Unit is undersized for the work you're doing.

Unit may have failed cooling components.

Workshop assessment recommended.

Don't repeatedly cycle the unit on cooldown / re-cutoff. Each cutoff is preventing damage, but repeated cycles indicate a problem.

For continuous duty work, you need a unit rated for it. Cheap units thermal-cut because they're not designed for extended use.

Common questions

Do you pick up from West Swan?

Yep. Pickup and delivery available across West Swan. 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.

Easiest is the online booking on this page. Pick a slot, leave your address, done. Or ring us on (08) 9444 1284.
