£60 - did I read it right?

I charge £5 per metre of guttering, average 3 bed semi with 2 sides, £80-£100

Yes I use ladders just for the gutter cleaning.
I have a tool to pull the dirt towards me on the inside of the guttering, and I use a pressure washer with a 24 ft lance.

I have had leaflets gone out about 3/4 weeks ago and I seem to be getting alot of gutter clean jobs at the moment.
I would say we get about 1 gutter clean to every 1-2 window cleans.
Suppose its that time of the year again lol

I was going to quote for one today and leave it on a note with customers invoice to see if she was interested,but didn't have a clue how i would get to do it over conny and extensions so thought would leave it,they were green and desperate to be done.not forking out on a pressure washer and all extra kit because i only just started,infact first cleans (x3) was today.took me 2 hours to do first place,for 10 quid,I really need to get faster!!! It was first job i got and as soon as i walked away i knew it should of been £12-£14,But i got to start somewhere,should be easier now first one out the way
