Title: Gutter cleaning advice needed
Post by: Philt on June 09, 2024, 12:21:33 pm
Hi there,

I've recently started a gutter vac business with soffit and fascia washing in south Wales.

I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on the most effective ways to get customers, I've built a website and done a load of flyering but have had little to no response.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers
Phil

Go door knocking this is by far the best way to get customers

Door knock - door knock then knock again - when I started out I did 2 hours every weekday afternoon evening  4 on Saturday and Sunday

the worst they can say is no - give every house a leaflet - sign written van is a must

Try befriending some window cleaners. Some of them ( me included ) don’t like gutters and facias and have little time to get through all the requests for extra jobs .

Look out for growth in gutters then, either pop a flyer through the letter box or knock on the door.

They usually always ask their window cleaner to clear out their gutters. So might be better being a window cleaner first and say on the van you clean gutters and PVC cleaning. That's the reason window cleaning is so lucrative because it gives one a good foundation.
