Title: Anyone seen worse gutters than this?
Post by: Seers on November 12, 2011, 09:18:46 pm: Hi,

These are probably the worse gutters we've come across for a while today. Nice change from windows though.

It took two of us about 15 minutes to pull the palm tree out!

Cleaned last year apparently the client said...i don't think so.

FLOWER BOXES? This lot won a Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show ;D

Seriously I think we can safely say that our gutter vacs would not have been up to the job. Incredible how plants can take root and the force needed to remove them. Well done Seer - I think you earned your Bowtime on that job (not that I drink Strongbow).

Post by: Johnny B on November 13, 2011, 12:16:29 am: Yup. There are loads of gutters that are like that and worse in my area.

I did 2 such gutters this weeks (next door to each other). Took just a few minutes to clear as it came out in great big clumps. :)
