Title: which gutter vac?
Post by: Crystal-clear on June 12, 2011, 07:29:03 pm

Been asked from time to time to clean out gutters.

what i was wondering was which machine is suitable ? and the customers normally point at one section it woudlt be worth getting the gutter vac out for that one section what do you say , we will clean all the gutters out for x per meter? or do you just charge for that one section? how does the pricing work?

many thanks

I generally charge around the £3 per meter mark with a min charge of £45 as no its not worth getting the gear out just to do a section and charge per meter on that.

flexi soft hose with zero air flow loss, means you can squash/move the blockage. just make sure its cleaned out after every days usage.
