I agree with this ,but would add unless they are prepared to use a ladder on the odd occasion I don’t think they should offer the service you cannot offer to empty the gutters but sorry I don’t unblock down pipes you either jo the compleat job or you don’tYeah there are some people who just use vacs. You won't be able to carry out all jobs and you will have to be very careful you don't knock of end caps on gutters and there maybe jobs where you have to say to customers sorry I cannot unblock the down pipe as the down pipe needs to be removed and I don't use ladders.
But you can still offer the service and probably complete nine jobs out of every ten. Once you have completed a few jobs you will be able to identify when you are quoting whether you stand a good chance of completing the job.
Just get a decent vac which is capable of sucking big tufts of vegetation out of downpipes. I personally would not have anything less that a 3000watt machine.
If you you budget can afford it Spinaclean is a good place to get the top quality equipment.
Please can I ask what length ladder typically works for most gutter jobs you get please?I’d say I use a long ladder on 1 in every 5 or 6 gutter clearances I do.
Nice, good on you!Please can I ask what length ladder typically works for most gutter jobs you get please?
I'm just starting out, and want to get the right ladder.
I've got a standoff already, just my ladder is a naff domestic one.
I have a youngman combi100 well made wide footprint and fantastic reach. Don't use it much as it's more of a roof bar decoration.Ah great, thanks for the reply. I've been reading the forum and googling to try and find a suitable ladder... I think I'm going to go for one with a wide stabiliser on the bottom.
Thanks for your help ?
