Not trying to be funny, but some suppliers and stock image companies are getting really nasty about copyright infringement. Fines start at £1000 per image,.....

You can get free images here:

Or ask the guys on here nicely if you can borrow one or 2 pics,...

Can you clear something like that with out ladders?

Post by: Oakley Windows on February 04, 2009, 09:10:20 pm: The answer to that is 'NO!'

;D

I do gutters off a ladder.

Post by: Lee Pryor on February 04, 2009, 10:01:28 pm: a pitch??? what photo is that mate
Title: Re: My website
Post by: johns window kleen on February 04, 2009, 10:04:46 pm: The one on the UPVC gutter cleaning section.
Scroll down to lower pictures.
If you can get that out with a gutter vac, I might get one.

Post by: Lee Pryor on February 04, 2009, 10:26:52 pm: well i must be stupid as i cant find it but if by pitch you mean turf then no you cant but the you dont come across that very often and when you do we use a gutter rake to break it up or hook it out first. trust me they are worth their weight or I wouldnt have spent £6k on them. we will charge about £70.00 for a 4 bed detached house with conserv, and it can be done in 20 mins, while the other guy is doing the windows for say £25.00 so thats £95 in under half an hour, how long do you think that would take with a ladder and how would you get the bit above the conserv? the first one i bought payed for itself after 3 weeks.

Post by: johns window kleen on February 04, 2009, 10:36:15 pm: I would use ladder and telescopic pole with gutter clearing tool above consevatories. 4 bed detached takes about 40 minutes if that, depends whats up there really, but its a dirty job doing it this way.
