Blast the fook out out it with a turbo nozzle worked for me...yehaa!  ;D
Always best if yer going to use this methods is to make sure the property owner is not about though as is a very cowboy aproach but seems to work well enough.  Well that's until you start damaging stuff like plastic trim etc goes flying off.

Was not me honest guv  ;D ;D

Steam also works too  ;)

Any woody bits still tangled around the gutters or worked its way under sofitts, tiles etc really has to be removed by hand still.
