Title: Cleaning gutters, not cleaning OUT gutters
Post by: ryanst1982 on October 14, 2009, 12:45:22 pm

Hi All

Got a new customer who wants windows and gutters cleaned. But she doesnt want gutters cleaned out just the actual gutters (which are white) cleaned because there dirty. She wants front and back done.

S anyway I said ok, il give it a try and charge £10 for front and extra £10 for back. She then said her daughter would like hers done to although she has a window cleaner but he wont do the gutters.

Basically Id like to know if anyone else on here cleans the gutters but doesnt clean them out and also why would her daughters w/c say no, surely its easy money or am i missing something here. (wouldnt be the first time)

I've got no qualms cleaning gutters.Doing some tomorrow as it happens,it's a piece of cake if you use wfp.I can see that cleaning gutters with ladders can be a pain in the bum so maybe that's why this other bloke isn't interested.With wfp,it's money for old rope to be honest.

Cheers

Gutter cleans are a pretty easy and as mentioned, money for old rope.

When i do them i use my WFP but the pole is a glass fibre job, which breaks my back when using at differant angles, hence i'm not to keen on them.

Can imagine doing the same job with a carbon pole and being a lot easyier on the old spine.

"Please Santa, Gardiner Carbon Pole for Christmas"  ;D ;D
