Just in from quoting a big old Edwardian house that's been converted into flats, doubt I'll get it at the price I put in so probably a waste of time  ::)roll

It seems most people don't even think about maintaining their property guttering & downspouts until they see water pouring over the top of them. Hence why it seems for me a growing trend to get a more calls when it rains.

Noticed a big increase this year with the increase in gutter cleaning ( don't know why as still using same add as last year )
I enjoy it a lot more with the new Vac as it doesn't take as much work killing my shoulders !
