gutter cleaning

[foxyferret]

anyone know of any good gadget to clean out the gutters on a two storey house from ground level or standing on a small ladder? I have no head for heights and so far I have had quotes from �80 to �110. This is for about 24 metres of guttering. Also, are these reasonable prices? They seemed quite high to me as I wouldn't think it would take that long. What are these people charging per hour? Any help much appreciated.

Sounds like they are charging �80- �110 per hour

You could ask neighbors to have their gutters done as well & get a block price (yours would be free, ofcourse).

or buy this

Thanks Elvis68. Yes, thats what I thought, it would probably only take them half an hour, it would be cheaper to get a solicitor up the ladder!!

Good idea tamborine to ask the neighbours but I think theirs have been done not long ago. Shall bear it in mind though. Love the picture, I may have to resort to that soon. Thanks for your info.

i live in tameside and have had a knock on my door as mine need doing and have been asked for �20 and the last time �50

you must be in a posh area

I think I need a house exchange Dr Filth, that sounds more reasonable at �50. We are not particularly in a posh area, but our football team is POSH. Can you send your guys down this way, I'll make him a cup of tea!

Hi Foxyferret. We bought this product last year and found it does the job you're asking about

The extendable handle allows you to work safely from ground level.

Hi Mad Hatter, this looks like just the little jobbie. Many thanks for your help, I will probably be in touch with these guys as by the sound of it, I should be able to reach. Gratefully, foxyferret.

Hi Foxyferret. Glad to be of help.

If you buy it you may need to stand on a normal domestic ladder depending on your height. I'm just over 6' tall and it reaches our two storey house gutter ok. Anyone with a shorter reach may, as I said, need to be one or two steps up a small ladder to get a good sweep.

[foxyferret]

yes, OK Space case, the old ones are the best. Anyway we already know that a man couldn't do it!!

For cleaning a gutter of a two story building, it is strongly recommended to take help from professionals. It is impossible to clean gutter on such height standing on a ladder. There are a lot of risk involve in it. Professionals have the experience of rigging ropes, height safety and most importantly they are insured.
