I charged them £315.00 for this. Its a commercial premises and they hadn’t asked for a price, just said do it. It was just the one length of gutter, the other side of the building the gutters were beyond repair so were being replaced.

Took about 90 minutes.

I take it you worked out the price being £3.50 per min not metre then.  Or put it another way £210 per hour.
And I thought my prices where dear to pay someone just with a ladder waving a stick about  ;D ;D

There's danger money in that price as well.

Look at the barb wire runs along the fence next to the building.

  Nice job Slack, good earner for 90 minutes work  :),  i did a gutter job yesterday, just the fronts of 2 terraced houses, it was
  an absolute pig of a job to do, the gap between  the tiles and gutter was so tight in most parts, you couldn't even get your
  hand in to do it manually, both owners had tried to do it themselves off a ladder but gave up, i reckon i cleared 95% of it
 with a gutter vac with the thinnest tool attachment, it took me hours to do, i had to literally force the tool into the gap gradually working along the length of the gutter, i would have said no to this job but for the couple being old friends of my wife.
