They will tell you you need there pressure washer, you dont i run it off a Karcher. A good hardware store or plumbing & coupling supplies will stock the bits to change couplings.

Do you use one as well Chris? Do you always use this when cleaning gutters? Does it just blast all the leafs and moss ect out of the gutter?

I do now mate, its only about £140, a great piece of kit, even unblocks the outlet down pipe.
Only had it a few weeks but its a must.

yes always
and no it helps the flow of crap down the drain , for some you can just collect the junk at the bottom of the downpipe and then clear away

Easyclean, I have a stand off that bolts on and off after using the spring clip one from B+Q.
The disadvantage with the spring clip one was the depth it reached out from a wall. It was 12" I think and was inadequate for a lot of older houses where there is a deep overhang.
I actually took it back after about 10 uses and got a refund!
I ordered the bolt on from a website and it has a 17" - 24" stand off which is adjustable.
It is a pain with the bolts but takes 5 minutes to put on and is very secure.
There is a stand off called a Limpit which looks excellent but looks like it could be very pricey.

I earn more per hour cleaning gutters.
Its a shame they are not monthly repeats!
They are great to stack up though for rainy days.
The ones with clumps of grass are the best. The customer thinks its a nightmare job and feels sorry for you as they agree to your high price.
When you get up there, you take one end of the clump and lift. Usually, the whole length of root system comes out in one easy and satisfying slurp then just lift and drop into bucket.
Makes a refreshing change to not have to worry about the finish!
Where there`s muck, there is brass ;D
