Buying Advise needed on Pressure Washer For Work

Hello all

im in need of your advise and views on a Pressure Washer.
i work at a school and i have been told in April i can have a Pressure Washer, but it can only be brought from screwfix or Amazon.

i will be washing all the playgrounds, some brick walls and the odd metal fence.
the Pressure Washer will be used 2-3 times a year and the rest of the time it will be stores in a out building shed.
im looking for advise on what to buy upto £200. and what to buy upto £300.
as i know the school will not want to spend more than £300. so two options i can try to sell them.

i know karcher is the basic go to brand but ther is a lot lot of bad reviews on then because they are all plastic parts. i need something that can be ran for hours at a time, has good pressure and water output.

so what would you advise.. remember it was to be from screwfix or amazon.

thank you for your time

    140bar machine and a patio cleaning attachment.

    Get the water flowing through the lance before you switch on to avoid airlocks.

    How far away will you be from a power source? Perhaps look at a petrol version.
    Sell them the idea that it could be used on school fete days etc to wash cars to raise funds

    I've always found all the Screwfix Titan branded stuff to be very capable and robust.

    I do have a Titan power washer that replaced a failed Nilfisk, only used it a handful of times but can't fault it.
