The lady said she has never had the gutters cleared or cleaned.
Hmmm...I'm thinking I would have never had guessed that ;D
And that’s the newer extension bit of the house ::)roll
Gutters are also rammed full too.

Did one like that earlier. Maybe nor quite as bad but it can up really well

Nice job...what did you use Lance?
I mean chems etc and did you have to use any ladders?

You not going for the old bleach and squirt ?
A nice strong mix of of g101/a8/virosol with pure water scrubbing should get it off in no time.
If left with greying or lines then fennicks caravan cleaner or starbrite black mark remover will really bring out the shine, as would a8 used neat

I hope that pole is footed. Looks like a H & S issue. It doesn't look like there's three points of contact and neither is it fixed or tied to an existing structure.
Sort it out ;D

Cleared by hand and it was a sod. Could only just get my hand between the tiles and gutter, full of nice thick sticky sludge.
No chemicals, just pure. It's amazing how much grime can be removed by just brushing with pure or tap water.
I sometimes dip the brush in neat unger fluid to speed things up but this one was quite easy to clean.

I personally only do windows, but to do a job like that, do you simply just change the angle of the brush so it's pointing straight up (for gutters) and just scrub scrub scrub???

Depends on what type of job you get as some can be very awkward to get at even using a wfp.

I tend to wet, scrub & rinse with hot tap or pure water first then use chems if need be.
A chepo gas hot water heater can be used for both and I find using hot water seems to help quite a bit.

I never change the angle of my brush head for gutter work, only on windows that are above really long extension roofs

I find the need to change the angle of the brush same with doing windows really as each part/job is different
Gardiner long arm swivel with a stiff gardiner sill brush is generally what I use that tends to get into all the fiddly bits.
It's just a shame that Alex has not come up with a lock for the swivel when you want to keep it straight.
