I have done these cleans in the past, but traditional, i;e scrub with a cloth and wipe dry with scrim, but now usually pass them on as i find them quite time consuming and always seem to under price them, but want to line them up as bad weather work!

how does wfp bring these jobs up?
do you need a brush with stiffer bristles?
is it hard going getting under overhangs and into corners?
is it worth spraying with tfr first?

Any tips and suggestions would be great!

thanks

Does the job great but hard work, I've got one lined up and going to try the swivel brush.

I normally clean inside gutter with Pwasher/ lance then turn it about then do outside gutter(gets into tight areas and awkward bits ,Then wfp to finish off if gutter is white

On average how much quicker can it be done with the pole, obviously speed is not the only advantage, safer than being on a ladder. Take it you have to do the windows after?

[Jason Atwell]

Dont have a power washer!

[Alex Wingrove]

use ladders

so much easier, and you can clean out the gutters too!

i charge about 5 pound per meter to clean and wipe gutters fascias, that's a different story, prob about 2.50 per meter, if its not dirty, if your up there any ways,

[DASERVICES]

If it's got them little air vents underneath then no not quicker but a lot safer, if not ten times quicker and safer

[Jason Atwell]

I never even thought about the vents, do you just charge more and explain the problem?

[Alex Wingrove]

safer smafer

just dont bother

get up there and wipe em

[DASERVICES]

With vents you have to keep on scrubing as they are full of dirt, I charge £70 for 4 sides, not worth going cheaper.

Alex,

I do it this way as I fell leaning back and hurt my back, I value my life and my family. My veiw and my advise, each to their own.

The problem with the vents i was thinking of is the water jets spraying water up through the vents into the eaves??

[Alex Wingrove]

i value my life, i don't go up a ladder willy nilly

what do you do about real green gutters etc

[DASERVICES]

WFP works a treat, bye bye green gutters in mins.

Water through vents is no problem as the water runs back out.

[Alex Wingrove]

hmm, i didnt think it would cut it

I've done a few of these jobs with wfp and found it to be quick money with quite a good result.
The green stuff comes off great and all my clients have been happy with the results.
I avoid getting water in the vents if possible- the dirt never seems to stop coming out.I  brush over the vents with water off and finish off by wrapping a micro fibre cloth or scrim around the brush and dragging along the underside.
Its quick but hard work  and I get a very wet left leg as the water runs down the pole and drips off the elbow.
Filllllll

has anyone ever damaged any guttering or fascias etc with the pole or power washer?
