I have the Chinese unit, shows no sign of collapsing and has loads of suction. It is rather heavy and large for domestics though. I might buy a smaller vac to keep in the van for the odd jobs soon.

Hello,

 Yes our units come with a 1 year guarantee. The video on our website on the super value page is the small one working.
We have this week developed a gutter surveying mirror that swivels to all angles on a clamp that will fit any water fed or up to 2" pole.
These will now be free with every kit.
We were surprised at the visibility with them.
They will be on our website this week-end.

Yes it can go to 45' and for a 38mm hose, this is very light weight so would be no need for fixed poles, with a hose you get NO air flow loss.

At the end of the day regardless of peoples thoughts on the advantages or disadvantges of one system over the other, a simple law of physics states quite simply that a 51mm hose or pipe will always allow more muck and debris through than a 38mm hose or pipe.
This equates to less blockages and faster times...simples!!
That is why our commercial gutter cleaning systems will always be 51mm.

Hello,

I cleaned my first gutters 42 years ago. I had a window and floor cleaning business for 30 years and cleaned Marks and Spencer, Next, Iceland, McDonalds, Natwest banks, Debenhams, Mothercare, and many more iconic high street names on a daily basis. I had 30 employees, but dreaded the days when managers or their assistants asked me to clean their gutters at home. Due to employee insurance, I always did the gutter cleaning from a ladder, there was no other way.
I then went into manufacturing, and have now returned to the cleaning industry.
My son decided he would like to do gutter cleaning as so few people do it, especially with the new ladderless systems coming on to the market.
We offer our customers full guarantees and any advice from how to do the work through to how to get the work, we can also offer risk assesments and method statements (essential if you want to do school work).
As I have said previously we tried the systems available, and in our opinion thought we could make changes that suited our way of cleaning better.
All of our developments and I will point out that we actually do the work ourselves, not empolyees, are based on our own daily experiences.
We are VAT registered, our credit and debit cards facilities are through Barclays we are official Kärcher and Clarke products distributors and can assure any of you that none of these top companies would do business with "fly by nights".
We all are entitled to our opinions and any opinion we offer will be based on experience.
Our joints will not break, they have been designed and are manufactured by qualified engineers.
All of our vacuums have 51mm inlets.
