Don't know why, but been really busy with gutter cleaning lately, which suprises me cos they usually call when its raining !

[SB Cleaning]

I've got another booked in for tomorrow

I really like the gutter vaccing...

[CLEANCARE WC]

Got a big one tomorrow too... not looking forward to it my shoulder is nackered.

[CLEANCARE WC]

That was a killer doing gutters in the sun!

To make it worse I have massively underpriced it & im nowhere near finished   

School boy error didn't check the gutters & they all have that plastic netting on 

[wpclean]

I take the netting off, and explain that it shouldn't be fitted as it causes more blockages !   Got a similar job to do next week, and charging a lot more for it, as I need to use ladders  ( will be shutting myself ) !!!!

Begs the question....why on earth do you need a ladder??

Can you get it out without  . . . . .talk to me !

[Nick Day]

You need to stop relying on vacuum power, which only burns out motors and causes modular poles to jam solid, and start to use your imaginations to create tools that clearweeds, downpipes and right round the swannecks.
We've got them, have never been stumped, we don't even have a roof rack.

Hi Nick

Do you know if your attachment heads are compatible with the grippa/gardiners carbon tubes?

[Avo]

What you been smoking nick  please explain in more detail..

[wpclean]

Yeah, you talked the talk, now spill 

[wpclean]

If you can take the netting out of the guttering without ladders on the job we have planned tomorrow I will give you the money !

Hi Nick
So you don't use a vacuum, you don't use ladders and you have all the tools to do a quality gutter clearing job, even round the swan neck?
Well I am certainly intrigued and my imagination isn't what it used to be.
Enlighten me.
P.S I don't have a roof rack either.

[Nick Day]

Read what I said again. We use vacuums, but we do not rely on their power to remove stubborn weeds, clear downpipes or swannecks.
This method of using only vacuum power for everything takes a lot longer, burns out motors and can seriously jam modular poles.

[robbo333]

Sorry Nick, I stand corrected. I never read it thoroughly.
So having never ever used a gutter vacuum, can I ask which type of tools you use?

Hi Nick

Take that as a no then

[Avo]

Nick don't you sell gutter cleaning tools I'm sure you do?

[wpclean]

Nick don't you sell gutter cleaning tools I'm sure you do?

Must be good ones if they can do what he says they can !

[steve hamblett]

Am i right in thinking it's physically quite a bit  harder than using wfp? Thought of doing it as sideline but as good gear costs a lot and it seems like hard work, I'd have to make a good hourly rate....what kind of money are we looking at?

[Nick Day]

I didn't reply because I knew we had a job today which would involve our tools. We always use a 1400 watt vac .
We removed the weeds with our downpipe fork, which ironically is proving to be the best weed remover be it downpipes or gutters. The weedhook comes into it's own when the weeds look like overgrown lawns in the gutters.
The customer wanted the swannecks checked (we do it on every job) so we brought the "ferret" into operation.

This screws its way through anything up to 1 metre down all swannecks.
It means that we can leave EVERY job knowing there will be no call back, and it clears everything.
