Title: Guttering job in Devizes
Post by: Dale Smith on August 12, 2008, 11:29:29 pm

I have a commercial custie who wants their guttering done in Devizes, Wiltshire. It needs someone with some decent kit, as I tried to do it myself & failed... :-\
They have a reasonable size unit on an industrial estate, and you can't do it from a ladder as it overhangs the wall quite a bit.

Post your interest on here, and your email address, and I will send you some details.

Hello Kev,
I quoted them £145 when I tried it, they did not bat an eyelid so you could charge a whole lot more I think.
Its got plants growing out of the guttering, quite big as well, which appear to have their roots going under the roof maybe. I could not move them with a gutter spike so have told them I can't do it but would get someone to get in touch with them.
So what do you think?
I would even meet you for a coffee...... ;D...... thats put you off now ain't it ?  ;)

Sound like they have left it a bit late for Omnivac - Cherry picker required? - got any pictures? what's the ground surface like? Access all around the building?

What are the other nearby buildings like? - might be worth asking a few and then using a picker for the lot - make some cash  ;D

Kev I will take some pics & send them to you, I will also check out their neighbours if you like the look of the pics, see if I can drum anything up for you to make it worth the trip.
The ground around it is flat, but you would not be able to use a cherry picker around the back, there is not enough room. The front would be no problem.

Thanks Mate  ;D

What about a scissor lift around the back? how wide is it?

Give me a call tomorrow if you wanna chat about it - maybe we can earn a few quid together ;)
