Post by: Andy@w.c.s on August 22, 2010, 01:35:16 pm: spot on
Its so as i dont bang or damage it when doing surveys have just bought it from dog cam they have put togeather a guttercam ,and i must say a brill bit of kit

As from next month i will be offering a free survey to all my customers to see if there is going to be the demand for the cleaning service

we have been wfp for about 4 years so not been cleaning out any gutters since then as we don't have a ladder big enough on the van

just not sure about advertising a free survey to the general public
might have to charge and if they have it done give the survey fee back as a discount or something along those lines ?

Post by: Perfect Windows on August 22, 2010, 10:25:21 pm: What camera and viewing/recording kit are you going for?

I'm interested because I've been asked to survey a block of flats. I suspect the payment if it needs a clean is going to pay for the survey kit on its own...

Post by: Andy@w.c.s on August 22, 2010, 10:30:25 pm: have tried both today
the wheel is only a temp one it would need to be smaller and off something like a kids pram
in the gutter is better as the wheel move through better,
on the edge of the guttering it jumps off when you get to the joints
its also alot smoother when you look back at what you have recorded
