only use dmines a few times and TBH find it quite cumbersome and the way it struggles to loosen the mud on bottom of gutters cracks me up. I think you would have to rake over the gutters first prior to using the vacuum.

[wpclean]

Does it take you longer to do with the vac than off ladders ?

[JSMC]

i think it does.

[wpclean]

Well is a lot safer not using ladders

I never have a problem with mine,  does the job every time

[Chris Cottrell]

I dont have probs with mine, I do agree that over about 25' they do get more awkard to use but then you need to be charging considerably more for that level

Using it is the easy bit. Carting all the crap around, setting up and putting it all away is the joke. That
side of it is a total embarrassment for residential properties to be honest.

i felt like that also big vacuum, genny and poles out. Neighbours looking at me

This is the reason I haven't got one yet, on normal sized work I can get up my ladder and empty a gutter in minutes, and for the life of me I can't see how it will work on gutters I can't even get my hands in with the over hanging tiles. I can see it's advantage on larger property's though

I have a monster generator that is bolted into its' own trailer. 40m of Artic flex which weighs a ton. Giant vac that I can barely move when it's full. £1000 of carbon poles. I thought I would make a fortune when I started out but these days I really can't be bothered with the hassle of it all. I look such a berk pulling up with that lot whilst next door the painter is up his ladder whistling away or the insulation blokes are on theirs drilling the walls just under the gables. I still need the ladders anyway to clear 's' bends or replace end caps that get knocked down. Try charging big money on domestics to cover your costs and watch them laugh at the price!

forget the gutter cleaning and just concentrate on the window cleaning and add on fascia/ soffit/conny roof cleaning.these jobs can be mainly done from the ground with equipment you already have!!why complicate it?

i think some of you guys spread yourself too thin!

i used to do gutter cleaning off a ladder years ago but i always hated it.now i always refuse and say "you ll have to get a builder in for jobs like that"
