Cleaning Gutters above Conservatory's
« on: August 31, 2006, 10:18:42 pm »

  Any ideas on this please, cannot blast it with pressured water as there is a
  risk of debris falling onto the glass roof.

  One idea I have is remove the cover at the end of the gutter and then use
  a pole to push the debris out the other end.

  How have you guys done it in the past.

  Cheers

Put your ladder up on the corner of the house making sure you secure your ladder safely of course. Screw together and extend 4-6 lengths of 'drain cleaning rods' with a gutter attachment fitted at the end and pull all the debris towards you slowly so as not to spill any over the guttering on to the glass roof of the conservatory below. The 'drainage rods' can be bought from the likes of B&Q or homebase, etc in the plumbing section.

  Cheers guys only problem is the tiles hang over the gutter so not much room
  for an attachment. Can you get attachments that are not higher than the depth
  of the gutter.

Buy a spare gutter attachment and cut it down to required size needed for the job in hand. Also: drainage rods are much lighter and suitable for the gutter job then a heavy, cumbersome & awkward pole whilst trying to remain balanced whilst high up a ladder. How much value do you put on your life? 'Right tool for the right job-always, as 'safety is paramount' in this job!
