35 degrees C. You don't want to apply big PSI to your paint, you can damage it
Where about's in York are you?

Its not the about the PSI, its more important to look at the litres per minute. Regarding temp most domestic washers will handel 40 degrees, your hot water from your boiler will be 60 degrees so you need to fit a blending valve which you can get from plumbing stores for about £30-40, this will then blend the water thermostatically to achieve 40 degrees
