-

avo what type of vac u have?
how much would get a decent vac nd pole set, just doing bit of googling here at the mo
-
Nilfisk1800w 30t from machine mart about £113 properly the best filter system on a vac I've used
5 metre vac hose 50mm diameter with cuffs don't used 38mm it's rubbish

and do u know how i select 50mm vac hose as it dont seem to give me any option when i go to purchase?
-
Foam filter vacs don't seem to last me 8 months to 12 months they past to much small dirt through the motors and have shorter life..
Nilfisk I've had maybe 14 months and still no lost of power the filters designed not to past anything, hope this helps mate..

Ive had a look at the site. Dont think I saw ANY carbon pole sets for under £500

Avo, how is 51mm hose better than 38mm if your tubes are less than 51mm?
-
Avo, how is 51mm hose better than 38mm if your tubes are less than 51mm?
very easy answer to this Dave and answer is it blocks very quickly mate and for ever flushing it out with water every few yards, it's ok with wet moss and leaves but tile dust which looks like sand and pine needles not a chance.
-
One more question :D did your vac come with the 51mm inlet or did you fit it yourself? (might have asked you before but I forget).
-
I got the 51mm hose and cuff from nick guttercleaningsystems but polar brite do the same accessories included the cuff and it just screws straight on the fexi hose
-
When you say cuff do you mean the inlet itself?
This bit http://www.cleaningspot.co.uk/acatalog/Polar-Vak_accessories.html
Cyclonic inlet down the page.

the skyvac poles seem an awful high price, any cheaper budget poles which maybe a bit heavier but as good?

You buy the poles from them on there own, and a 1800w vac will restrict you height you can go to becouse it wont be powerful enough
-
You neex to look at the suction specs of the vac rather than the wattage , the nilfisk has very high suction for an 1800 watt machine and is better than some higher wattage ones .
-
Hi everybody, ive been too busy working and with the family to come on here and post recently, but this is an interesting thread!
Ive been looking at investing in a gutter vac for a while now as im still doing it from ladders! ???
I know, im wfp too! so why risk things? ???
Im taking on board what everybodys said, and understand for obvious reasons carbon over alloy poles and more powerful vacs etc etc.
BUT, just for normal houses and to reach over conservatories for now what would be a relative compromise as to paying a few grand to start me off?
Cheers in advance!
-
Anybody? ???
-
Anybody? ???
Just get a small loan and buy the equipment right away. this is the time of year whe you should start raking in money on gutter clearing so you'll easily make the repayments.
i would personally recomend the grippavac equipment. get 3 poles at least. if you want to save money you could not a get a generator and just use the home owner's electricity i suppose. i wouldnt want the bother of having to wait in for those people who have gone out... but if you cant get a loan that may be an option

but double the weight ;)
the vac you can get anywhere , its the poles that are the difference imo
-
I'm no expert on the gutter vac's or any of the kits/systems mentioned, but ive just put myself together a kit.
Got given this companies details - http://www.carbonfibretubes.co.uk/about.html#contact
Got 5, 2m/50mm tubes from them, cheaper than any gutter cleaning supplier. Carbon, modular and cheap.
Got a wetvac from Kev Martin on the hard floor section of this site. triple motor, 3000w.
Got all my other bits and bobs from ebay. Bend, nozzles, clamps, wireless camera etc..
Got 7.5m of 51mm vac hose and some cuffs from polarbrite.
All in it was just under a grand.
you can probably get a kit already put together for cheaper, but the skyvac kits are over a grand, and the ones under a grand, i just wasnt sure about the vacs.
I already have a generator, so keep that in mind as an extra cost if you dont already own one.

do you mind if i ask how much the tubes cost Matt?
-
Tom,
Give them a call, the guy was very helpful. They are cheaper than any carbon pole kits I've found, and i searched for a while. They come in 2m lengths too, most of the skyvac etc.. only come in 1.5m

just done so , they to get back to me with price :)

The weight is an issue when you are having to reach over a conny or extension , the alloy poles become quite unwieldy.
Working straight up on a two storey not a problem .
For me for domestics up to three story(ground /first/second) grippavac poles and the 1800 nilfisk is ideal i think.
I have the alloy poles but will be upgrading to carbon as soon as i can afford it.

very good point robert, thanks
-
The nilfisk vac is about 113 in machine mart , you could upgrade the hose to 51 mm , grippa poles 4 would be 480.
so your set up for around 650-700 .
I got my generator (suzuki) on ebay second hand for £80 in very good condition and always starts and runs reliably .
The beauty of the nilfisk is that you dont need a huge generator but it still has excellent suction , perfect for domestics and some lighter commercial work.
-
Yes there a great investment the carbons I wouldn't use any other..
Pay once and buy the carbons or pay twice and buy alloys..
They will soon pay back I did another job today £125
Sucked out a trowel from a gutter today ;D
-
I think the 25ft set was £370
Avo where can u get set for this price

5ft x 2” diameter poles each weighing approx 825 grams
which is less than bag of sugar , il be doing 2 storey houses....four poles = four bags of sugar...........
is this really that heavy lads? id say i clean out 20/30 gutters per year
-
The problem here is it's not just 3kg dry weight your lifting as soon as you angle the pole it multiplies the weight and doing gutters over connies, porch or lower level roofing proves differcult a task.. I've been there had the t shirt and trying to stop you making the same mistake..

Richard thanks for reply mate! Need to deal with this quickly as got a few gutter cleans booked in and more to come!
Think carbon is way forward as I can appreciate as AVO said doing over connies etc will b hard using alloy poles!
-
Hope you're right Avo, been following this thread and made the jump today on what appears to be sound advice. Included a camera so that I could offer customer reassurance that the job has been done.

ha ha you will love carbons and you bought at the right time of year too ;D
Keep a bucket of water handy to suck the water up if sludgy gutters as this can:
Effect suction performance and Increase weight of pole and also keeps your kit clean n tidy.
Good luck to you mate!!

I just read this tread and I thought I give you guys a bit of advice, have bought some gutter poles from Sky vac, and couple time they got broke, and told them about it.
They send me a replacement but then I thought it shouldn’t break that soon, specially if I had them only couple of months, so I am thinking if they are 100% genuine Carbone fibre or not, so if it happens to any of you guys, watch out, it could be a mixture of all kinds of things, Genuine Carbone is very strong and shouldn’t break very easy.

hi hasti, welcome to the forum.. May I asked how did you break them?? I'm sure there not 100% pure carbon but I've dropped I'm a number of times without damage.. Grippa look 100% but each section was to long.

Has anyone used the plastic poles from Polar Brite? Probably not very durable but cheap to start off with at £50 for 16 foot.

Thanks Avo, well as usual was sucking a large growth from a gutter, as you do which had roots on and as I lifted the pole, the pole cracked from middle, which shouldn’t happen with carbon fiber.

Sorry whats a Grippa ???
-
Yea must of been fractured.. I did a massive job in the spring lots of heavy debris and 2 sections got jammed together had to call my mate to help unlock it but never cracked one yet.. ;D

Thanks Avo
According to another company that spoke to today, the sky vacs are 30% carbon. I won't say who they are as I don't want to start a war. However this maybe the case. The chances are that they are, a long with lots of other items we think of as pure carbon. I do know that the process of making carbon use to be very expensive, so maybe manufacturers are making a compromise over price against purity. If it works, and fits my pocket great.

Well in that case they misleading the customers then, because in Sky vac web site, they say their poles are 100% Carbon fibre. :o :o
-
Here is a section of the email sent to me.
- These tubes have a very low carbon content (30%) and diameter is only Ø44mm as opposed to our Ø50mm. Nett result of both these facts is that they're only ~half the stiffness.
As I said, I prefer not to mention the company, and ask that there is no speculation online. I'm sure that they're not slagging off, more pointing out their USP.

Hi,
Really enjoying this thread at the moment, I have been looking for something to do while its raining :) would love to get into high level commercial workshops to get out of the rain. Even gutter clearing in the dryer weather.
Would this be any use as an inspection camera? Images can be seen on iphones or compactable mobiles.
Many Thanks

I ordered 10m (5 x 2m lengths) from this company - http://www.carbonfibretubes.co.uk/ as stated in an earlier post.
They got delivered this morning. under £400 for the poles including delivery. Very very light, no flex, feel really strong. I dont know what carbon content they are, but i am assuming as the company specialize in carbon poles, that the content would be reasonably high.
The tubes are modular, fit together really easy.
Cant wait to test them out.

I use alloy and they are ok until you get in the gutter and all the crap sticks to the inside of the poles making them a lot heavier i'l be upgrading to Carbon at some point just for ease and also peace of mind incase poles fell etc.

Yes mate i messaged on ebay and Paul told me The gutter sucker poles are not 100% carbon fibre like skyvac poles they are typically 30% carbon fibre but are still very light weight and strong.

Hi guys
I came a cross this site when one member here mentioned this company.
http://www.grippatank.co.uk/vacuum/high-level-vacuum-poles-kits-spares/carbon-poles-upto-60ft.html
So who has used their gutter vac poles ?
Do they just sell these poles, or do they manufacture them too?
They don’t seem to market it that well like Sky vac, so are these poles any good?
I love to know if they are 100% Carbone fibre.

http://www.grippatank.co.uk/vacuum/high-level-vacuum-poles-kits-spares/carbon-poles-upto-60ft.html
So who has used their gutter vac poles ?
Do they just sell these poles, or do they manufacture them too?
They don’t seem to market it that well like Sky vac, so are these poles any good?
I love to know if they are 100% Carbone fibre.
I use the Gutter Vac equipment and their carbon poles. I've got 5 poles and have used them to clean a big church without major problems (on my own)
I find them very good and like dealing with Grippa tank as they are really helpful when i've needed advice.

i believe they are base sections from gardiners superlite modular poles.
Am i right in thinking they use a clamp on the grippa poles or are they just push fit?

Very helpful info, so if Gardiners make them, they got to be good, I have an SLX Gardiner, which I have had for past 2 years, and still going strong, so if Gardiners making these poles, they got to be 100% Carbone fibre.

Just bought Skyvac's industrial vac today with 8 poles, 12m reach. Have to say the contact there Andy Whiting was excellent and very helpful, very keen to make sure the customer knows what they are getting - up with there with Gardiners for professionalism.
They give a choice of 44mm diameter poles or 52mm. Haven't decided which ones to go for yet. Anyone have either and would recommend??
Thanks

Hi John
Sorry for the late reply on this.
Yes I would recommend it definitely. The poles are great, very light and very quick to put together. We've only done 3 jobs with it so far as I'm trying to get all jobs together to do beginning of February next year. We did one big, very high job and we got it done within a couple of hours.
Its not cheap but its very robust. I'd recommend getting the camera system too - again it speeds the job up no end and means you don't need the ladder.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Tom
