I've recently started offering gutter cleaning and tbh in last month done alright with it £££ ;)
However what do you use for clearing gutters over connies ? ... thinking drain rods with half moon attachment to push or pull the debris to a more convenient spot or one of these

up to know just told customers I can clear that section and all been ok with that.
May buy a small vac and gennie if it keps up

i use a sub contractor :D

Pro gutter is good but sometimes it gets stuck when loose or broken tiles drop down.
Cheaper option http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/GUTCL.html fits any pole with acme thread
adapter can be had to fit to gardiner pole

I use an old slx pole with a really worn out brush on the end to drag the stuff towards me...works a treat
-
I just take u-bend of end of gutter pole, set a ladder at the side of conservatory and push gutter pole down length of guttering and suck debris up as pole goes along.
-
progutter tools for me with long extension, however can be a struggle as said above with slates that have come close to the gutter blocking access but suppose anything would struggle with that!

Harris pole with an applicator and hedgehog sleeve, pull to a certain point and then vac from there

thanks for all the help gonna get one of those acme screw threads thingys of Gardiners ... will be thinking of the road runner every time I use it ;D
-
set of drain rods from wickes they have gutter tools with them
screw sections together as needed and drag crap back.
-
The diameter on section 2, 3rd clamp on an SLX is the same as the drain rod diameter.
Take the first pole length out then slip the half moon attachment in.
Much more control.
And looks a bit more professional than drain rods.

Cracking idea Mr Pole!
Trying that tomorrow

I just use the slx30 that I have as an everyday pole. Take the brush and hose off and shove an applicator on the end, drag all the muck towards me and clear out by hand.

If you're doing alright with the £££ keep saving the £££, buy a decent gutter vac and you'll make even more £££.

You're in Birmingham aren't you?
The entire city is a council estate.
With power stations.

Very few real council estates left in brum,most of it was sold off
years ago.Lots of affluent people in the suburban areas.On the main
bristol road and surrounding areas leading into the city the property
ranges rom 5 bed to 10 bed virtual mansions and as you pull back from the
city center on the south side lots of countryproperty close to where i live
and one of the prettiest villages within a city you could find built
by the cadburys family :)
Still running,been out this morn,find this weather a struggle to run in though
