Shame your poles don't fit mate they sounded just the job too!!
Keep us posted with more upgrades your planning as I may just buy one from you mate.  Rob!!

I have a few upgrades in the pipeline just waiting on getting metal machined for adjustable head and sourcing quick release clamps for the poles.

I have taken a prototype of the head to my fabrication company they have machined enough metal for 4 heads for me to try before going ahead with a large order.

i will upload an image later on.

cheers mark

1100g x 4 5ft sections each weigh.. so 20ft set of guttercleaningsystems 4,400kg without head

600g x 5 slighty shorter sections 20ft of marks poles only 3kg saving alot of weight dose this sound right mark??

Hi mark we spoke on this a while back on another post.. Thumb lockers, adjusting head used on most jobs really work well at range eg over connie roof.. Support bars on the head and locks nozzle in place for safety.. These little changes are well thought through and for me give them the edge.. But very heavy poles if I'm honest from them.

Do you no how much lighter your poles are please mark??

Do you sell the poles without accessories mate??

Hi Avo,

Sorry I do remember talking on another post now sorry just talk to so many people hard to keep track.

I am working on an adjustable nozzle at the moment I have one I have made up and will be coming soon just waiting on getting the aluminium machined,

Personally I cannot see the benefit of the adjustable head as there is enough flex in the silicone head to get the angles eg over conny roofs I just move back/forward a step or 2

Yes I do sell just the poles on the website on the accessories page not sure there compatible with gutter cleaning systems heads.  

I don't know what there poles weigh but my poles weigh in at 600g each I ordered some carbon fibre poles the other day they came in 2 meter lengths and where weighing in at 975g for the 2 meter length i put 2 of my poles together and cut mine down to 2 meters and they where weighing in at 1100g so only 125g heavier than carbon fibre.

see my blog for the pictures of the carbon fibre on the scales http://www.guttervacuumsystems.co.uk/blog.html

Regards Mark


Hi Mark
Nice blog, on your blog or site it says this particular vacuum cleaner weight 1.6 Kg. is that right ? 


Hi Dani,

No the  1.6 kg's is the weight of the root ball removed with our machine on friday watch the video and you will see you see me remove it and then weigh it

Regards Mark

Thanks mark, in my opinion the more vides of your system you put out the more interest you will get about it.

Hi Avo,

yes that is right 600g per section so 3kg total, the whole set in the box with all attachments ready for postage is under 5kg

here's a couple of pictures of the adjustable head I am working on

Yes looks very good so far mate.. Them thumb lockers can't you just track down a supplier who sell them..

You sure my vac head won't fit your top sections?

Have a look at the following link, I have bought the 3000 watt vacuum with a 20ft pole, also bought the camera. Great piece of kit and great customer service.

Hi  trev,

Is the camera any good? As I hear a lot of these inspection  cameras lose signal , is It wireless ?

i'm not 100% sure that it don't fit, i sold some poles to a guy that had gutter cleaning systems poles and they did fit but only one way and a don't know if it was with my poles on top or the bottom buy they went one wat and not the other.

Hi Dani,

no I'm not saying this is my own idea I have just taken the idea and tried to improve on it

for example the thumb screw you don't need to take the screw out and move to the next notch just loosen and slide into position.

They will fit I'm having a thick moment sorry.. Your poles go together the wrong way round that's why I was confused.. Mate without sounding patronising you need the pole flow the opposite way round for free flow. Put two sections together and look down the middle mate

Hi SB - The gutter camera is very good, I have had no problems with it losing signal and yes it is a wireless one.
I have both attachments - I can put it on the end of my waterfed pole for carrying out inspections and giving quotes & I can put it on the gutter vacuum pole for when I'm clearing the gutter.
