genrator  bout 5-6 kw
10 meter hose
extension lead for the power

don't under stand why you would want to fork out for a generator and have the hassle of carrying it in your van, just get long extension reel and use customers electric...any of my customers that have wanted gutters doing i tell them when I can do it and they make sure there in, job done.

The way I look at is this if a sparky or a gas engineer or even a house cleaner turned up, no customer would expect them not to use their power..

If there not home I just get them to leave a power cord in a plastic bag through a window. Just post it back through when I'm done..

I make about £10k a year on gutter cleaning and have only ever use my generator. I only have it in the van when I know I'm cleaning them and as I do them in groups I tend not to have much water in the van.
