For domestic gutter work I charge £1 per foot... For commercial I charge £2.50 per foot.

Last year I was doing a fair bit of gutter cleaning work - because I pushed the service... This year I haven't bothered with it because I don't particularly like doing the work, although there is some good money in it!

The only specialist commercial company I've ever found for gutter cleaning is www.totalgutters.co.uk - I once enquired about subbing some work out to them and they quoted me about £800 a day labour (for 2 men) + cherry picker costs etc...  :-\

No, I've been using pressure washer + extendable lance + gutter attachment - A bit of a messy way of doing it, but saves using ladders and does a good job.

I would like to invest in a gutter vac if I had the money.

Commercials £7-8 per meter -  look at the alternatives and price accordingly. If they need £10,000 worth of scaffolding your hardly going to do it for £300 are you?
