Title: any one selling gutter vac?
Post by: mark mann on June 10, 2011, 06:52:46 pm
Hi guys
looking to buy a gutter vac but wondered if anyone ideally near me (manningtree, essex) is selling one and maybe a camera system.

alternatively any feedback on whether hose on wfp pole or rigid alluminium pole easier to use?

Also what size motor seen cheapies from a bout 250 quid (wondered with agitation too that might be all i need. dont want a spend a fortune coz wanna see how i get on with it and how much work generated by it. i have got gutter work booked on for july so need to sought soon.  :)

thanks mate but im guessing id have to have a full days worht in one day to make that worthwhile and since im anything from 20-35 quid a side for gutter emotying on my pricing, it meanse hiring one maynot be cost effective or worthwhile.

do you use a gutter vac and if so how you getting on with it and what do you tend to price out at ?

I don't use camera.
I had a eastern vac and can honestly say the one from Craig is far better.

Hello,

 We're based not too far from you in Norwich. All our systems come with a viewing mirror that clips to the pole free of charge so you don't need a camera if you don't need to record for the customers (we do sell cameras as well if you need to record for the customer). We always tell people if you can to try before you buy, if you can get up to Norwich you're more than welcome to try our systems.

ive been looking at the clarke 30L from gutter cleaning systems.

no screen setup but all the poles etc ... comes with a mirror to attach on the pole.

for the price they seem worth a punt

Lol its true Ian.any post on gutter vacs and that nick chimes in trying to sell his vacs.if there that good someone would have bought one by now and would back his claims and we wouldn't need to try the hardsell tricks on everyone in the world that mentions the word guttervac.
 Alex gardiner doesn't come here bigging his poles and brushes up.
He answers any questions about his items.

doc maybe you havent been round this place long enough. when alex first started saleing his poles and gear he was on 24/7 doing his best to sale and why not...
 These forums our good for new suppliers to come on and tell us what they have...or we would all be buying omnivacs with london prices.. and ionics poles and systems with just a big price tags
And least the guy is being straight up...instead of like these other mystery posters who big up other products..
Title: Re: any one selling gutter vac?
Post by: JUST GUTTERS on June 11, 2011, 06:50:59 pm
also cleanitup was gardiners biggest platform when starting out...and is also still a good marketing tool
Title: Re: any one selling gutter vac?
Post by: RO-Sheen on June 11, 2011, 07:11:28 pm
and why shouldnt the likes of Nick plug his products here?? He is just trying to make a living and grow his business. He might be the next Gardiners with 1st class products so why not give him a chance. His systems might be very good and well priced and therefore will benefit us.

I recently bought the karcher 27 kit from gutter cleaning systems, with an extra length of tube, and the additional head with the weed hook.
Very pleased with the kit, so glad I bought the weed hook as it has been essential on the first two jobs I used it on.
The mirror is very easy to use, once you you've got the hang of where abouts to angle it.

Good value for money, well made and easy to use.

does thier gutter hook fit onto normal 51mm poles
Title: Re: any one selling gutter vac?

No its an additional end section, about 5 foot long with the weed hook permantly fixed onto the end - so at the right angle you can also vacuum as well.

Their website has a page  for accessories with a picture of it
