I do gutters sometimes but avoid the rain so it's easy and less messy to get the muck out - unless you're using wfp - also would rather be safe as poss with the ladders - so dry is better - are you ladders or wfp

I will be ladders to start off with, but I intend to go over to wfp, but first I want to go round with a window cleaner to learn the job, and
get some tips and to see if I will like it.

many thanks iain

I quoted someone the other day for a gutter clean, He wanted his gutter's cleaning out, his guttering, sofits and facias cleaning, his window sills cleaning and his windows cleaned. It was a small terrace house about 2 hours worth of work, I quoted him 40 quid and he looked at me as if i'd just stole his last rolo!!! He said "thats a bit steep, I'm gonna get a few more quotes" I just left my number and walked away. i asked a builder friend of mine to tell me what he'd quote and it was just shy of 150 quid. I'm waiting for him to call back now It's gonna be so nice telling him that I can't fit him in, far too busy  ;D ;D

That's the spirit! ;D

Gutters are a horrible smelly job anyway.

It's always more work than you think too, so hard to price.
