Title: Looking for a relatively cheap gutter vac - any recommendations?
Post by: Jamie McNamee on September 03, 2015, 03:10:19 pm

As the title suggests really. Looking to add gutter clearing to my window cleaning but dont really want to spend thousands at the minute. I will probably upgrade if I get enough work in.

If you buy the best equipment, then you will be able to do the job properly, and if you buy cheap, you usually buy twice !

I got mine from the site posted for £990 inc camera and viewing screen and carbon fibre poles and it's a robust set up.
Hate to think what it would be like if I had got alloy poles instead though.

i had one from eastern trading a lot of years ago,    alloy poles, a killer,  especially over connys,  sold it,    if carbon poles were as cheap then as now id have kept it.
ive looked and 30ft carbon poles + all accesories is £700+.
not a bad price on ebay, jetstream site

I'm still using my old omni ali poles as gives me a good workout for sure.  ;D
Mind you I give them plenty of abuse but they have never snapped or broke so is something to be said for their longevity unlike carbon poles.

You won't be saying that when your shoulders are knackered !
Can't believe you are still working with Ali poles Smurf,  I am quite strong but I could not do all our work with Ali  ???
