I have a gutter vac I bought the kit, not that impressed with it right now, could be user error will see this week as I have a full week using it.

as for hire I think it is about £80 a day or can hire for a week, you would need to call them as the prices are not on thier site at the mo for some reason.

Ftp
Our hire charges are based on what any hire company charges, for simular equipment.
All the  trades we hire to are very happy with our rates and usually you will need to book the equipment a week or so in advance.

Serious enquirers always contact us by telephone or email for quotations.

The vast majority of our clients have no interest in the cost of the equipment, they just require to know whether it is suitable for particular locations and sites, orders for the equipment they require is then placed by the relivent purchassing departments.
 
Our Hire rates are featured on the site.

We hire equipment to the full extent of the UK from our premises and this may be collected or it can be sent and collected by courier.

did better today :D, still feel like I have been beaten up though, that power pole is a monster, big learning curve.
cleared 3 sides of gutters today in 15 mins, so hourly rate is way up on that, on friday I had a nigthmare day, but made all good by the customer calling me to say should I need any recommendation he is will as he is very happy with the job done. (he should be 2 of us where there a whole day ::)

Is that sucking or washing? I'm interested to know how the pole handles when pressure washing.

Glad to hear its getting better!!

are you just doing residential at the mo?...and do you think the pressure washer is a deffo piece of kit you couldnt do without? Im eventually getting the kit, but if can do without the pressure washer on residential, will be a lot easier as not a lot of space in the van!!!

Had to use my pressure washer on a blocked downpipe on a three storey property today - looked like I had been mud wrestling when i'd finished.  ;D

you can do without the pw tbh, I got it because I want to do patios.drives walkways ect, bit over kill for fashia cleaning, wfp gutters etc, but the vac came into its own today, reaching parts trad cleaners can't ( I did gutters this way myself) just takes getting used to.
