Have already give quote for cleaning Windows on this apartment blocks, now they want quote for cleaning gutters. So how long do you reckon it would take cleaning by hand using cherry picker? There is 2 smaller blocks to be included in quote too 1 of them is in pictures. Thanks wayne.

Borrow or hire a decent gutter vac first.

Worth a check with a gutter cam first if you can?

[Smudger]

Gutter vac the rear and smaller blocks.

For the front I'd use cherry picker and vac

Why a cherry picker?

[WGB]

Haven't got a gutter vac would prob Have to buy a decent one for this job. How long do you think it would take with gutter vac and cherry picker?

[Dave Willis]

about the same height? 50'

[WGB]

The front stone corner looked a bit higher.

[Smudger]

It's not the height Dave but the ( assuming it is ) wrap around gutter on the corner tower and looking at the area further back which appears to go right across the lower roof.

To access these properly you need to be right up there, and all the roofs looked pitched.


You could hire a vac from omni vac,  there should be enough in the job price to cover the hire of a picker ( 250 for a day with operator ) and the vac even a really good wedge to buy one if you desire

Off now to gutter clear myself 

Ruddy town centre work...

I wouldn't mind betting 90% of that is going to be empty. Slate tiles, no moss and no sand few leaves down the easy end. Job's a doddle!

[Smudger]

You surprise me Dave, with all your anti vac posts I'd thought you'd be up there with a toothbrush removing every last spec of dirt 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

I agree I'd lay money on it that the whole thing is pretty empty,  perhaps just charge a couple of hundred for a CCTV survey then charge accordingly per blockage if any

yes Dave agree with u on that. It's a new enough building, gonna go up today and take a look at lower part of it where there is a hedge row. If I where to hire a good vac and maybe cherry picker for half day for high parts, do u think I'd get all gutters cleaned in one day? Wayne

[Smudger]

Easy

Get one of those  radio controlled helicopters with a camera to check the gutters.

[Dave Willis]

Or borrow my full size one.
