Hi folks
First let me say what a great forum this is full of understanding and helping people.
I am a part time window cleaner and I am getting asked more and more often to clean out gutters which i do using just my hands/sponge etc how much should I be charging for this service?
Many Thanks in advance

Sponge! Rich, welcome first of all - we are quite a mixed and lively bunch and hopefully you will add to this
But back to sponge - do you clean the gutters back to original - Wow
I just scoop the rubbish out and give thanks that I got back down safely
Charge at least £25 per side - and if its full of vegetation which is reluctant to come out, charge more
Off a ladder this has got to be one of the most dangerous task
Hope this helps :)

£1 per metre.
Its dirty and dangerous and I stopped doing it
-
1.50 per meter I use gutter tool on a pole and a bucket this reaches about 2m each way then move along then just give the guttering a wipe
-
wouldn't be cleaning any ones gutter for less than £40 if your doing it of a ladder, the higher the risk the more you want for it, but sure if the gutter is loaded with stuff then add extra for your time, have never used a sponge, I just pull out whats in there and use a small brush,

Hi All
Thanks for the pricing info.
Just to let you know the sponge was for wiping the inside and outer gutter once i scooped out the rubbish.
Cheers

I would charge at least £20 per side.
the easy way to do gutters is with a pressure washer and extendible lance.
If its got mounds of grass growing from it you will need to pick that out by hand first then pressure wash it.
3 bed semi about 30 minutes 45 if you are stretching it and charge about £60.

we use a garden trowel to scoop out what we can, then a pressure washer with lance,a 3 bed semi takes us 1+half hrs and we charge between 60 and 100.
