hi all..... i after a telescopic pressure washer wand for cleaning out gutters the one i have seen is 7.3 m high. can you get a taller one?

also do omnipole sell gutter wands as well as there powerpole pressure washer system>>>

[poleman]

Yes omnipole one is much better, I had the telescopic one, and it bended way to much at height, so I sold it and got the Omnipole one

thanks poleman ..... what price are they??

[poleman]

Not cheap (have a look on their website) but will last a long time (many years) what I did is got a second hand one from here

Omnipole tallest powerpole is 48 ft (14.63m)

I have three, all excellent, hard wearing and you can add or subtract sections to the height you need which helps to reduce weight etc.

Three of my best investments to date

kevin r ..... i have ordered my omnipole gutter vac and camera set up. and i have a very large holiday camp who are very keen for a demo.... do you have any tips for me about the demo and pricing this job....??

[Kevin R]

I wouldn't get into demos as such as its a lot of kit to set up. However take the camera do a recording show them the results. if its empty tell them they would only be charged for areas that require cleaning if its full tell them and show them they need attention.

Selling a full camera survey is often easier than selling the whole job. It also will give you an idea of what to expect and how long it will take.

As to price charge for 4 or eight hour sections for cleaning and hourly for surveys but remember you have to allow time to review and document the footage. You'll get a feel for it after you have done it a good few times. Once experienced you will be able to do a large amount in a day. Obviously taller work takes longer than shorter stuff.

Im afraid its a learning curve for you from here, but its worth while believe me.

would you try to sell them a service contract or only go on site when they call you with a problem?

[Kevin R]

I always try and sell a service contract at every opportunity. But  usually the first meeting is when the client  has a problem and calls me. When the rain starts and the leaves fall in autumn your gonna be well busy. This is the time to make some spring and summer maintenance work.

No Demos
I call it a survey and charge for it, like Kevin said you have to set it all up and put it all away, that's time with no money, so tell them you offer a survey service and charge accordingly.
