Title: anybody do window cleaning or gutter cleaning for housing associations?

If so, how did you "get your foot in the door" send them a leaflet, email? phone? or even call in?

Theres a large Housing Association round here, and as far as i'm aware, nobody does the gutter cleans, and surely as a housing assocation, they should be providing the gutter cleans? (property maintenance)

 I Cover a number of properties here in the North West the properties are maintained by a property maintenance company who subcontract the gutter cleaning to myself, they contacted me via my website .www.guttercleaningsolution.co.uk
The agreement hinges on the use of the gutter vac and chas registration- risk assessments and method statements.
They are providing me with a steady stream of work , to think once i had my vac up for sale.

i clean 31 compact granny flats for a housing association.ive been cleaning them for over 10 years(window cleaning).the gutters are cleaned by the contracters that paint the doors and the general maintenance guys usually every few years.
