Hi all
I have been given a very decent pressure washer and wanted to use it for cleaning gutters as i seem to have loads of gutter cleaning jobs.
How would i do this? And what else would I need?
At present all i have is the pressure washer so i assume i would need a few more things like water tank, generator etc
any help would be great thanks

It's your choice mate, but I wouldn't use a pressure washer to clean out gutters, the cr***p will be blasted everywhere!

Hi
He's right it's a messy job, it is which ever way you tackle it, you can get special gutter attachments for an extension lance, but you would probably need an umberella hat. There's no other way it's a mucky job.
These attachments blow it out left & right, so in theory l guess if you stayed smack bang middle you'd miss it! in theory

the only way to clean a gutter properly is the good old fashioned way.
Rubber gloves, trowel and a bucket and once all the moss, bits of slate, tennis balls etc are gone. then low pressure clean it.
This way you wont have to clean all the walls, windows and paths for nowt.

i use a drain rods fited with a 3" drop scraper for gutter clearance from a secured ladder.
I would think twice about using a lance up high as the upper windows would probably need to be cleaned after (ialways have to clean ground floor windows after patio cleaning operations).
