Gutter cleaning

[Smurf]

@Barnsey to answer your question I find it best to price on what the job is like and not by per liner metre as even the smallest job can be a real pig to do

Wishful thinking @Tuffers :rofl:

Yep, got one of them booked in next month, it'll be a vac job as there's a conny in the way, plus the whites, 3 Veluxes and the conny roof. Shouldn't take more than an hour

Even I could not get away with charging £195 per hour /emoticons/biggrin.png

Yeah will prob go for 240v as won't be getting genie for a while so will be using customers electric. Was just thinking ahead for possible site work.Most of the 110v seem to be more expensive anyway. How do you find the vac, has it handled everything you have come across?

think for most site work 110v is what ya need i think

the vac is very little use when roof tiles dont allow enough room for ya pole and corners as Smurf says can be **** to get the ****

I was going to use a guttervac to do the front of this one where the ladder is set in the pic. It ends up would have been a total waste of time as the gap was so tiny even for the guttervac crevice tools I sometimes use.

Had two options as was rammed solid with **** so I could either just scrap what I could out with a hand tool and leave it at that and/or try flushing it through with a hose. As I don't like to do half a job so I scraped out what I could then flush it through with a hose.

Forgot to mention there is a third option which would be to take the guttering down to clear it out then put it back again. This option I don't like doing as found that joints can start leaking which can cause a whole lot of greif.

No job is ever the same including parts of a job so don't assume a guttervac will work on every job properly as I have found that one out very quickly.

sounds to me like you take great pride in your work mr smurf....it does look tricky to get too great pic..
