With a bit of mesing about you should be able do it using wfp, 45ft. Might even have to use 60ft.

I would probably charge around £50-60 for that,no money if you have to hire scissor lift, unless you charge £150 or so

Dont think 35 will reach as you would have to stand in road to reach far corner's.

Using a 60 pole standing in the road should just reach.Just do a test first before you start to make sure, Otherwise you would probably need scissor lift or platform, then the quote will be a lot higher.

Cherry picker would be the easiest and most efficient way. About £100-150 for a couple of hours hire with an operator.

thanks again lads,

I cleaned out the gutter using my omnivac. There was even a sod in it.. I powerwashed the gutter and front of building and now i only have them 3 window and facia's left to do. I will try the wfp and if that fails i'll get the cherry picker. I use a 40t cherry picker from time to time and to be honest there useless.. You need bigger...
