They are the concrete ones with the channel cut in them Rich.How are the gutters still fastened on with that weight in them. I can just imagine the conversation with the 2 homeowners, do you think we should get the gutters cleared
That's impressive on 2 counts.Sore back after these 2 houses lol
That was my titan vac from screwfix as it was already in the van from yesterday.That's impressive on 2 counts.
1st - what a massive roof garden
2nd - that gutter vac did well - what one is it? I have seen GVS make a claw attachment - do you think that would have helped or was it easier to pull it all out in one go?
Never seen concrete gutters so that's a first for me and it looks like a silicon neck, that must have been bent shut when lifting it upThey are the concrete ones with the channel cut in them Rich.

You don't have much option when they're that bad, once the initial bit comes out gravity helps the rest as you only really need to pull rather than lift it out.That's impressive on 2 counts.

Quite common in one part of town hereNever seen concrete gutters so that's a first for me and it looks like a silicon neck, that must have been bent shut when lifting it up

Lol that’s a good one ????Sore back after these 2 houses lol
I'm impressed that you accomplished that with a 1700 watt vac.That was my titan vac from screwfix as it was already in the van from yesterday.
Exactly the same as a panther
1700w and stuck a 51mm side inlet on it
The 3000w one I would have needed to go home for
Good enough for most jobs with the cyclone inlet
Our 1500 watt motor would never have pulled that out. That would have been a ladder job from the get go.That's impressive on 2 counts.

There is a knack to it alsoOur 1500 watt motor would never have pulled that out. That would have been a ladder job from the get go.
The cyclone kit really does make a difference
On YouTube Julia from GVS shows how to fit it and then shows the difference in suction with some piece of equipment and it is about 3 times more suction
Surprised they hadn't had water coming into the house, quite a few council houses on different estates not too far from me had them installed possibly back in the 50's or 70's when loads of council houses were getting built some had them removed that had ongoing issues with dampThey are the concrete ones with the channel cut in them Rich.

I converted a front entry Kiam to a side entry and it really is a totally different machineWhen I spoke to Mark about it, he told me that a clone kit for my smaller vacuum probably wouldn't make much difference, so I never bothered.
Thanks. Mine uses the flexible hose with a 37mm inside diameter.I converted a front entry Kiam to a side entry and it really is a totally different machine
We have full days gutter vaccing and regularly have to fill a couple of buckets of water to suck through to clean the poles and pipesThanks. Mine uses the flexible hose with a 37mm inside diameter.
This is why I fill the gutter with water first (if the contents are damp) as my machine works better sucking out slush. I find the damp grit sticks to the insides of the pipes and makes the carbon poles very heavy and reduces suction.

Did you need a ladder at all for that job? I have a similar one asking me for a quote.There is a knack to it also
It’s not just the power of the vac on this job
Coming at it hard from one side allows you to get enough in the end of the nozzle to help lift the end out then keep doing the same to the next bit making sure you ram the nozzle under the next bit of it each time and lifting that bit over the edge
Eventually you have a nice long strip hanging out
