Hello there best thing to do is start off with

 (1) how much you charge per hour normally,    I charge £25
 (2) How long will it take-----Per side 30-45 mins
 (3) Add on £10 when you have worked out the top two just in case.

 I always follow these 3 things sometimes the job doesnt take as long as i worked out and if i'm in a honest mood i'll drop the price when i'm done.

The only rael way of cleaning out a gutter is to get up there have a look and clean it out whilst your there.
Just make sure someone is footing your ladder!!
How can you say the gutter is cleaned out properly if you never take your feet off the ground?
We charge £30 per side

[cleaning co]

hi becuse it has a cam on the pole. then u just use vacs to suck crap out and then clean it at the same time with high powered steam  all from the ground

Gutter cleans, we always charge £1.00 a foot.

[macleod]

£1 per foot

how many feet do you find in the gutters you clean - must be really rough where you live ronny

I priced one up today 4 bed detached house about 1 1/2 hours work ididn't really want it so quoted her £100 thinking she would say no and told her i only do them when its raining .

She said i will ring you back later today just need to clear it with my husband.

An hour later she rang back yes thats fine can you do it next time it rains.
Then she said can you add me to your books for the window cleaning.

I used to charge £20 per side this house has got gutters on 3 sides so works out £33.33 per side.

So from now on im going to price these higher as people will pay it especially now as this is when they start to come in.

I also charged someone this week £10 to inspect her gutters 
Im not doing anything for nothing.
But they did need doing so didn't charge her the £10 as i did the job whilst there.
But she said ok to a £10 inspection

Just curious, do you use a petrol hoover or electric as I was thinking of using a petrol hoover but I'm not too sure on the connection of hoses running up the side or through the pole and the gutter vac attachment- would appreciate your comments!

[david68]

Nicely put gazza.....

[Mr.G]

I charge £10 a side too. And customers moan!

[geefree]

i would rather not do it 

[cleaning co]

hi iam still waiting for prices on cam, iam going to use one of my carpet cleaning machines which are eletric and stay in my van,thier is a firm just started making a system for gutter cleaning with vac ,,cam,and  poles  , from looking at the site the poles hav an attachement at the top to fit vac hose in a hook shape ,the pole is water fed inside ,the cam must be fitted somewere at top of pole but i couldnt c it  ,  id say that u could get bit comm work with this ie local councils etc  not just for cleaning but surveys as well , u can record every thing on cam, with all this health and saftey stuff now  are people like council workers alowed up ladders? these sytems can be used over 40 ft so u can use it for allsorts of jobs even vacuming bird droppings of town hall buidings 30- 40ft up et etc

  Does anyone do this, take the gutter off, wash it down then put it back up.

  Sometimes quicker and easier to do.

We have been using a Northern Tool Gutter Lance for over a yhear now and charge £25 per side (extra for any front Porches).

I have been thinking of adding a van and camera but am struggling to fing how it can be done without electricity (forcing the customer to be in).

Has anyone discovered battery operated hoovers strong enough to do the job and any cameras to do the same.

Thanks,

Sarah
