Stunning building - as Paul said use a soft brush because I bet those pains wobble in the old lead mounts. I've got one like this and I pray I don't break a window or flood their rooms every time!

Ignore the others, you did the sensible thing.

Got a house with these type really old leaded , and it runs on the inside every time , but it's ok . But I hate that bounce that it makes .... I hardly touch it though, delicate job ..

Yeah you're right, I wasn't actually there to do the windows, just ended up doing them and that was the only brush to hand.

I did their drive last year which is about the size of your average car park and did their patio a couple of months back which was big enough that it took all day with a 21" rotary, was actually there cleaning their gutters, I had avoided mentioning I did windows as I really didn't want them but the old girl asked me for a card to give to her friend and of coarse it had windows on it.......

I have done some of them windows i hate them they bend when you put just a little pressure on them and they leak like f..k you need a soft brush and you just have to tickle them and pray.

What gutter vac you use Mat ?

What gutter vac you use Mat ?

I use this one GCS 3000 watt kit

But I haven't used it in months to be honest, I always take it but rarely actually use it, find it quicker and easier to just hop up the ladder with a 5m harris pole and pro gutter tools, I get up to check downpipes are clear anyway.

 

[Taxlossloz]

Yeah I have always thought same

but I've acquired use of one if I get the poles

There's been a few jobs where I could really use it - especially commercial

Do I go for Carbon or alloy poles ??

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Fine for commercial work with nice wide channels @Taxlossloz but pointless on most typical 2 storey houses.

I mainly use mine on one big job a year it's a massive mansion which is nearly entirely 3 stories and also has these turret type things that are more like 4 and a half high.

Other than that by the time you've sorted electric, set it all up etc I could of done the job and buggered off already with pole and gutter tools.
