There is an invention called a "ladder"

One of them with ankalad and microlite will get over that sloped roof

If people want to pay it and smurf fulfills his end of the agreement it is not ripping off

It's the idiot who done a custys neighbour last week..gutter and fascis clean and i noticed when doing her rear loft extension windows that half the back one was solid with **** as he didn't do over the conny (detached house opposite side to down pipe so probably thought no one would realise ) who is a rip off

it was that bad i saw it from next door

Ps i jumped up and scooped it out for her in 5 minutes flat free of charge as the guy had given me the hump as i can't stand rip offs

Or maybe start my own solar panel cleaning training courses instead

as far as I remember there is one with certificate at the end:laugh:

probably as expensive as yours Smurf

 

[rshandyman]

as long as they are happy to pay, no one is complaining

 

[rshandyman]

as they say: people pay me for knowledge not for hard work

 

[Smurf]

I would never rip anyone off as I'm far to honest. All I want to do is the best job I can for my customers and that's about it.

 

[rshandyman]

Me too.My goal is to offer value for money

 

[ARCLtd]

the thing is these days there's too many people willing to work fo next to nothing .

so when people start pricing jobs to what they are worth for a quality job then we are deemed as rip off merchants .

I've got guttering jobs coming left right and centre and all good money .

I quoted 5 tonight and all above average prices .

3 bed detached £120 where last year they paid " some guy off Facebook " £45 lol

 

[Dave B]

That guy off facebook was probably happy with 45 notes for an hours work

Perhaps customer were not so happy-now he/she is prepared to pay 3 times more

 

[ARCLtd]

exactly

ID THINK using a pole and screw on gutter scraper [ im darned if i can recall the name of the plastic scraper in BnQ ]. ANyHOW THATS WHAT ID USE, likely perch ladder on front gable face of house higher than gutter line level so i could see in while dragging gutter . sweep off the roof below afterwards

clean gutter underneath surface using harris pole plus 6 inch applicator

 

[Smurf]

Myself I would use my guttervac and gopro camera so could see what I was doing to clear all the top guttering out properly in real time. Then if need be only use my gutter clearing ladder set up as a last resort.

Afterwards I would apply tfr on the outside of the gutters fascias & downpipes then scrub & rinse them down using wfp hot pure water at a good flow rate. If need be will also use other methods & chems to remove tiger stripes etc.

Regarding the free window clean depending how bad the frames, glass & sills are will decide what methods I will use for the best results.

By the time I finish hopefully should have a very happy customer.

 

[Dave B]

Good luck earning what you can from it guys

Just remember a high price doesn't necessarily mean a good job..just a higher priced cowboy

You must smurf the job properly
