don't the windows and walls get totally caked up with a pressure washer?


Not really, I wash the windows and frames as part of the gutter clean anyway.
99% of the dirt is removed with the scraper, I just go up the ladders and empty the contents of the gutter in to a bucket. then flush the guttering out and jet wash the outsides.

What pressure washer is it?  Just your normal run of the mill Karcher?

I bought it, the reason its that size is the fact that some roof tiles overlap the guttering more than others so a larger one may not fit into the guttering.

I bought it from polarbrite, it connects to either an unger thread type extension pole or a WFP.

I bought the lance from Craig at polar brite. about £150-£160 i think.
you just screw the high pressure hose on the trigger of the lance and away you go.
My next gutter job I will make a video.

how much do you charge just for clearing out the gutters either by ladder or vacuum?  most of the gutters by me are not pvc so they dont need washing outside???
