Gutter cleaning follow on topic
« on: March 07, 2010, 07:18:07 pm »
Thanks for the replies re gutter stuff on the other thread. I know this sounds a bit thick but would you mind posting here your modus operandi for doing a gutter job?

Say one of my custies asks me if I can inside gutters and then for the outside get the muck off and also the soffits and fascias.

Do you do the insides off a ladder? With a gutter vacuum and then a wfp for the outside or what? Does a pressure washer come into it? How much time do you reckon? Do you carry your gear all the time or have a set day for just these jobs or what.

Thanks in advance!
It's a game of three halves!

I use a ladder Malc to do the insides and WFP for all else external cleaning.

Minimum charge of £75 approx £3-4 a metre, I find it hard to justify that on bungalows though. That works out at brain surgeon hourly rate; Im happy with that.
