Wow! 4 storey...what kit are you using?

Both jobs were completed in 2 days I've never cleaned out gutters 4th floor over 40ft before so that was a new experience lol.

Haha well....

If I told you I used my nilfisk 1800w you will laugh but I did 😄 with gutter sucker carbon poles and gopro cam

I thought the vac would never handle it but it survived both jobs lol. I had to make minor changes to the filter on the vac to nylon mesh because the filters on this vac are pants and hinder the motors power upto 40%

Looking at upgraded wet vac like numatic wvd900 or the nilfisk maxxi 75 twin now.

Here a pic from yesterday

Honestly they were fine not that bad at all.. I wished I'd filmed that part of the job.

I couldn't lift it straight from the ground though The last few sections had to be put on one at a time.

I filmed some of the three-storey when I get chance I will put a video together

what gopro are you using?

I use a gopro 3+ silver and found it is not that great in low light but works well when the sun is out.

I also prefer to have the gopro on the top rather slung underneth the nozzel as is easier for me to see what I'm doing and take vids/pics of the area in front.

I wouldn't rate these carbon poles,( i don't think they are 100% carbon)  the only best ones i have had is Grippa Tank, By far they are the best.

i can only think the full poles are much better these are part carbon.. Having said this there are not all bendy and whippy if that's your worry, I have had these poles over 2 years and done hundreds of jobs without any issues so far.

I'm sure grippa tank poles are made/branded by gardiners so they should be good.

Those gutter sucker hybrid poles for want for a better word the sections don't seem to be very light

Not really if you want to take higher quality pics/vids their not. That is why I went for the silver myself so can use some of the pics/vids on my site etc.
