Hi Tom-01,  are you removing the hedgehog stuff permanently so that you can clear the gutters, if so hope charging well for it.

Hi Lal

Yep that's correct. Charged a good price. Perhaps a bit too good as I have said we need to slow down! It comes out easy enough. Someone on the vac after and me clearing up, good earner for a few hours work.

And now I have 100m of hedgehog to sell! :)

Also we will be clearing the gutters twice yearly so it's all good.

9 bags of hedgehogs if anyone wants them for some bits of paper with the queens head on :)

 Hi Tom, thats good mate, always better getting overpaid then underpaid,  last year i was speaking to a builder who said
 that the gutter hedgehog stuff was the new big thing, and that i should consider adding to my window cleaning services,
 but i had my doubts about it and didn't bother pursuing it thank god.

No it wasn't, thankfully. Was an easy job in the end.  Yeah I'll get it on ebay at some point. I like jobs like that, mixes it up a bit.

Hi Lal

That's how I run my business, get overpaid :)
Builders and roofers make quite a bit of money on it that's why. If the homeowner looked online they'd see how expensive it is, so the builders gets cheaper but charges a fortune for supply and fit. They are absolutely rubbish though - builder doesn't care as he's long gone by the time the homeowner realises what a waste of money then they have to pay someone else to remove it all.
It's dead easy to get out just a bit messy. But with a decent leaf blower and a broom it takes no time.
