Title: Gutter Cleaning
Post by: Steven Butler on May 20, 2013, 10:51:36 am
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!

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.

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!
