Oops! Now that's a bit of a problem trying clear guttering and blocked downspouts on what they call in the trade secrect guttering using a guttervac /emoticons/biggrin.png

How would you go about clearing these then?

There is no way you can do it unless you are up there .I have had a few similar jobs on some old buildings they used to be called back gutters and used to made of lead which would be going up the parrapet wall

Indeed AK,....

Did a camera survey today to find out what was wrong with this property. Found out the secret guttering was clear but the hopper was blocked. /emoticons/biggrin.png

Now just have to work out a quote and methods to try too unblock. Told customer after the camera survey the hopper is blocked causing it to overflow but also might be a problem with the soakaway so cause it to backup aswell. Needless to say it's going to be expensive job to do.

What do you think?
