Stupid Design - How?

[Smurf]

This enquiry just came through my website. Before I go out to give a quote I usualy look on google maps to get a rough idea what the job is going to be like. How on earth would you go about clearing blocked guttering and downspouts at the back of this 2 storey house?

Do not ppl think how awkward it would be with that design extetion to do any maintenace on guttering then they go sticking a bloody conservatory in the way too /emoticons/biggrin.png

Lol rather you than me on that I think, although maps is usually a bit out of date so you never know when you get there lol

CNS It’s a newish house (6 year old build) which I’m familiar with after doing other jobs in that area. The gutter gap is also very narrow and being black guttering the joints are susceptible to coming apart too and start leaking due to gutter creep as they are generally badly fitted. So on that one will be stuffed if anyone cocks it up as would need to hire a boom lift (on driveway) or elaborate scaffolding to put right.

Got a funny feeling they will be quite shocked whoever gives them a quote. /emoticons/biggrin.png

Anyone up for a challenge?

Are fair enough mate.

Take it you won't be quoting? Lol

 

[Smurf]

I will still go out and inspect the job and then give a quote as I'm always up for a challenge. It separates the men from the boy’s dont you know. /emoticons/biggrin.png

However after saying that I don't think they will like my price very much somehow?

Gutter vac?

 

[Smurf]

Maybe you could use a guttervac but might struggle getting it in the gap. Also any sods up there especially in the corners will be a bugger to clear properly.

Rather you than me. A couple of those windows look hard enough to clean, never mind the guttereing around that conservatory! Well done for getting it cleaned.
