That's a world I've barely entered. A couple of jobs with a Karcher K4 and that's about it. Maybe the end of 2016 I'll look into it more.

Many window cleaners are more than happy at just window cleaning as if they can build a big enough round have very little time for anything else. Some try gutter clearing even with a guttervac and think sod that I will just stick to window cleaning as is much easier to do.

Here's my two pence worth.
Firstly i've got elbow problems and the first thing I did was get extreme pole and brushes and they have made a real difference. I also get sports massage every couple of weeks. I'm 51 years old and i'm hoping the switch to extreme poles will help now AND in the future. Also going to start pilates and boxing!
This week I have made a conscious decision to start cleaning in the rain, light rain.  Never really done it before but i'm too busy and i'm falling behind. So far its been good and the custys are much better than I thought. Cleaned all day today and even got tips for Christmas! It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders with the worry of not working in the rain. I thought about gutter vacs too but i've declined because of my elbows (i'm also only 10st 6 - built for speed, rather than heavy lifting).
I've got a small van too, ford connect with 350 tank but it's not quite enough to be totally confident to deal with any job.
My plan for next year is a totoya hiace with 650 tank and maybe start pressure washing, hope this will be easier on the arms and I can continue to work in the rain.
Good luck everyone.
Cheers
Robbo
