Have to agree with Darran.

Recently gave a price to a housing association for residential building with a mixture of 2 and 3 storey (mostly 3). £510 for 205 metres of gutters so about £2.50 a metre. I thought that was more than fair.

Turns out I was 'far more expensive' than the cheapest quote. The guy who got the job was a plumber with an omni.

Because ladderless gutter cleaning is still quite new there doesn't seem to be any common pricing standard. My best work is still domestic where I can charge £35 - £60 and be gone in 60-90 mins. The problem is getting enough of them (for me anyway).

Still, it's early days and I believe that ladderless has a great future.

Not an advert...
We at CT east Ltd make £ 1000's on our apartment blocks between nov-jan... Commercials are willing to pay... I understand domestics will pay... But not wacky prices like £5 per meter .
