Depends on how your cleanin them and how realistic you are, I use ladders and a scoop an charge around 15 for your average 3 bed semi an this take s me around 20-30 mins, others on here will use all sorts of mad machines with a bbc crew to show the customer before an after pics an charge 5 a metre. Each to their own though

i used to clean out gutters with ladder and a bucket but quite frankly i cant be bothered and i do TURN IT DOWN!!

reasons:

1.its dangerous(ive nearly fell off a few times emptying gutters)

2.if your doing a fair few that day you end up smelling like you ve been down a ditch.

3.your ladders get covered in mud!(if you do em on a rainy day!)

4.i always hated doing them!

5.im busy enough with windows/fascias/conny roofs etc!

by the way the guy who posted meant how much you charge for GUTTERS AND DRAINPIPES OUTSIDE ONLY!!

now these i do clean!i charge whatever i see as the right price depending how dirty they are or if its a one off or in with the window clean.

regards

I have a rough idea now!!

Went out yesterday to do a few quotes for windows and i could`nt believe the ammount of houses that had dirty gutters.
