Conservatory-gutter-issue.jpg

Advice very much appreciated, I only do conservatories at the moment (will properly introduce myself later) and just had a customer ask me to look at his gutters as they need clearing out however as you can see from the pictures there is a massive 4m x 4m conservatory stuck in the way (it's butter against both walls!)

Initial thought was set up the ladder/microlite to the left of the conservatory and then use a 5m harris pole with a gutter tool to empty the gutter.

The other issue is the gully between the two roofs, they need clearing too but there is just no easy access to them and what ever you use has to first navigate past a whooping great conservatory. How would you tackle this, gutter vac, scaffold, helicopter?

The chap was decent and said not to worry if not doable but I like a challenge be nice to add gutters to my lot.

PS. the chap replaced the gutters himself and mentioned that to gain access he'd removed a section of the con roof but was a complete ball ache from start to finish.

Advice welcome.

Hi and welcome, for that kind of job you will need a gutter vacuum with at least 30 ft worth of poles.
Gutter vac at that angle will be very hard work. He could even bash the conny as the poles will be that heavy at that angle.

 
That's not a difficult job with the right kit carbon poles without anything on the end will go straight up that valley without hitting the conservatory roof . To do all those gutters and the conservatory gutters is about an hours work max
