After using a gutter vac for a few years I am retiring it as I find I can do a better job with a pressure washes. I have a long pole and a 160dagree end which fix into a gutter and just blast all the crud out. Blast outer gutter clean and then and wash windows with the lance and window clean usual. No more vac for me. Anyone else find this works for them . Do the same on Connies too.

Whatever works best for you bud. ;)

Gutter vac was a bad investment in my mind.

Do you then get the vac out to clean up all the crap in the customers gardens

Must make a right mess.

I've witnessed the results of this, so I am assuming that this is a wind-up.

|I charge 5 quid a meter for gutter cleaning and get it no problem + a window clean extra . You guys knock everything you have never tried . Try think out of the box it could be a great experience.

What happens when you blast the end-cap off a run or the seal out of a join?

Yeah tbh I think pressure washing gutters would make a right mess , not only on the windows but all over the walls as well , not forgetting those splatters that happen to end up in the neighbours garden . I know that if I personally saw 2 different companies , one with a gutter vac and one pressure washing the gutters , I'd choose the gutter vac guy. Looks more.... Professional ;D

I agree with you, but with a hooped end it drops straight down onto the ground. The crud falls as it was hosed out. Surprised it`s not messy. I do about two gutter cleans a week and never have a problem at all. If i had a gutter muck removal only I will still use the vac but I don`t quote for that only the full monty. Connyroof , gutters and windows. More money that way.

I find the vac is like most tools, at times it is great when you have no access issues getting it round the property, and no problems getting the tools into guttering !
We did a retail unit Wednesday the front worked great with the vac, but the back was not full, probably half full, with 3 foot branches set in solid sludge making every grab a put down to clear.
Ended up laddering it cutting up meter long strips and placing in bucket.
Lucky there was three of us on the job so shared the ladder work.
