Those of you who clean commercial gutters (warehouses, office blocks etc), that maybe are not accessible via a gutter vac, how do you survey them?

I don't.
Plan for worse case scenario anything better is a bonus.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

No, its a warehouse in Crewe. Popping down on Monday on way back from Stafford to have a look.

Anyone come across gutters that are to deep for the gutter vac to reach?

No the biggest problem is roof tiles that sit too far out and the nozzle cant get into the gutter.
If your looking for a cheap camera you can use your own phone in a bike handlebar mount.
Check out....My gutter vac camera made for only £10... on Youtube.

Yes we do an awkward box type gutter and got a tool made up to fit , which we adapted a bit. I will try to remember to take a picture of it when I'm at the unit tomorrow afternoon.

Knowing Tom-01 the attachment will be pink with sparkling glitter on it.
