How much would you be looking at spending for a basic gutter cleaning set up for domestic work?? Doesnt have to be the best but not rubbish either.
-
HI a basic set up would cost you around £700 but even less if you already have the wet and dry hoover,works for me ,jon
-
Paid £150 for a second hand vac with newly fitted motors, £300 for a good second hand 13hp generator then poles and fittings at £150. Camera at £200 too. But that's another story, it's chinese shiite!
-
Cheers lads. Do you need the generator though??
-
Just plug in custys a genny only for domestic.

If you are going to do it professionally then you should invest in carbon poles, as this will protect your joints from major damage ! The odd one here and there using the ali poles will be hard work ( resting the top part on the gutters ) but if I was doing it day in day out would spend half a k on light carbon poles.

I have carbon fishing tubes and a vacuum from a skip - what catagory do I fall into ?

What diameter are the poles, I was thinking of doing the same ?
-
They are tapered onesall the same and fit into each other, 46mm is the smallest. The Omni set up sits in the unit - don't be fooled by quoted wattage as this does not always reflect in actual practical power
-
A 50mm (Or Bigger) inlet on the Vac works best 38mm normally can't handle it!
