    No grouting Dai, this is very old basic paving slabs.
    I dont have grouting, just weeds :D

    Might give the front drive way a bit of a clean also.

    Not

    Not if it is MONOBLOC

    If monobloc you will pressure out the fine sand and the blocks will shift if you park on it, evenutally leading to breakdown

    Jack I just want to blast the actual slabs.

    I wont be directing the jet under the slabs only on the surface.

    The drive is concrete.

    As you have concrete slabs, concrete driveway and no grouting the smaller washer will be fine. Just be careful if your drveway has any cracks in it. :dbgrtmb:

    Finally went for a 120bar Karcher, £150.

    Bit more than I wanted to pay but bought it online at screwfix with free delivery.
