Title: What would you charge for this?
Post by: PurefectWindowCleaning on July 14, 2014, 05:59:54 pm: One of todays jobs... first 3 storey gutter clean ive ever done. Took 3/4 hour (slow setting the poles up)

I charged £40.00, which later found out they had a quote for £100.

Still, i'm just getting to grips with this vac system, so not bothered about the money yet.

Probably a tenner.

Stop being a square and just get on with it.

I'd've gone in at £80 odd quid.
It would rule out a few of the boys on ladders, so you could price slightly higher.

Post by: Clever Forum Name on July 14, 2014, 06:26:51 pm: If its just the end house then £40/£50 is ok tbh. I would have quoted £50.

But we have carbon poles and i would have knocked the other houses and done a deal at £140 and got all three done in about an hour. Assuming no down pipes are blocked.

PS Had you just come from the beach?? ;D ;D ;D

Post by: S.A.J on July 14, 2014, 06:49:35 pm: Just be careful using it on full power with a normal 13amp plug! As it will blow the fuses ;)

I haven't used mine on full power yet because of this! Will be getting the plug upgraded soon I've been told I need a 64amp plug to run this at full whack :o

Post by: trippyboy on July 14, 2014, 10:21:44 pm: In all honesty that job should have taken an hour, that's set up and pack away time included.
Heres how I would have done it.
Ladder with stand off, two 25 litre water barrels against ladder feet.
place end of gutter vac in hand proceed to walk up ladder so you slighty above the gutter.
Vac to you right vac to you left.
Move ladder one more time, job done and complete on front.
Repeat on back
