I've noticed recently that there have been quite a few threads where gutter cleaning has been mentioned.

Are you talking cleaning the outside of gutters WFP from the ground or are you talking cleaning with a suction unit.

I used to turn gutter cleaning down as as I found my Omnipole too heavy for me to hold at the right angle etc.  However, the other day I had a customer who was out and I experimented on part of her very dirty gutter with my SLX and Superlight brush.  It was a doddle and the section of gutter came up a treat.

I am now thinking of offering this add-on service - any suggestions on pricing would be appreciated .

When your saying about the omni pole, are you meaning the vac was heavy or the power pole ?

I meant just the PowerPole, i don't have a vac.  The PowerPole is a superb pole but it's just too heavy for me when at an angle and with the sill brush on.  It really strains my back but I would imagine a younger stronger guy having no problems.

Cleaning the outsides of a gutter is piece of cake normally,just doing it wfp.Most people would want the insides cleaned out as well though,being cluttered up with leaves etc this time of year.I personally don't get enough call for it to warrant a gutter vac and just use a ladder and bucket for the odd times I get them.I'm a bit unsure on pricing myself as it happens.I read that some people charge £2 a metre but then I read Matt on here say he charges £5.He seems to know his stuff but I think for that he pressure washes it all as well.The underlying opinion on here seems to be don't undersell yourself.

Thanks Craig - very useful advice.
