Interesting you should say that, I done a google and they came up, not heard of them before but do look and sound a professional company, will have to see what they have to say about there systems

I don`t know what all the fuss is about buying one from one of these places they are so easy to put together and so much cheaper all you need is a half decent wet n dry vac 3 or 4 carbon base sections from a fishing pole and some plastic plumbing connectors,angle pieces i did exactly this about 2 years ago and have made a fair bit of money with it  ;)

Hi A-W-C total agree with you, I made up my own diy system when they first came out and really been happy with it, its had a lot of use and just had a big contract come in so just fancy a new one

what would a skyvac setup be £1500

Say middle range vac and 30 foot poles but then got camers plus other bits?

yes i used them a couple of years ago - bought a karcher with thier alluminium pole set with it. - nice guys they know thier stuff (and charge good money themselves for gutter clearing) - notice they are only doing the clarke now.

4 things ive learnt - 1=alluminium poles only ok when not going over ext and conny roofs otherwise real heavy. 2=sponge filters not cardboard/paper ones 3=suitable bag liner for collector, otherwise pain clearing out. 4=a shorter hose so it doesnt lay on floor is better, as the vac does the job at top, but gravity directly into collection chamber better.

would like to change mine next year - like the look of the ionics one but would have to see it demonstrated to be convinced.
