Did a gutter clearance this week for an customer, she didn't want them cleaned as the fascias are rotten old wood and due to be replaced next year. She checked that I don't pressure wash them. I laughed it off as I thought that no one would be that daft but it transpires her mum had someone come round and basically pressure wash the interior of the guttering, the moss went everywhere and actually caused damage to her roof tiles. She was chuffed with my service and recommended me on Facebook, had a few calls and they were all asking the same question. It seems there is a local guy going around pressure washing gutters ?
This got me to thinking, I know pressure washing the insides of gutters is a bad idea but once you have cleared them would there be any potential issues pressure washing the outside of them? Say with one of those pressure washer lance's? I reckon that could shave a lot of time off the fascia and soffit cleaning but I don't know enough about the physical make up of these to know if thats a good idea or not. It could potentially get in places the brush wouldn't without the need for ladders too I guess?
