Starting to give window cleaning customers
The heads up that I have a gutter vac

Looked today at this customers house before mentioning anything.

What’s the story on wall above top front bedroom

Obviously a gully/valley behind this would this be expected to get up ladder to get behind this 🤦‍♂️

Would you?

No thanks

Customer is a bit of a task master 😁

Thanks lee

Get you wfp and put a camera on top and have a good look. You might find it difficult to get over the front wall and down far enough to reach the mess with your vac.

Would you go up the ladder to get up there if it was a Flat roof Splash? 😯

If the roof was safe to walk on yes, but could possible done off a scaffold tower ?..

I always go with my gut feeling - The universe is like the prompter sitting in the wings waiting for an actor to forget his lines. You're unsure for a second then your gut feeling kicks in. How many times have you been driving and had a choice of two routes. You get an inner feeling to choose one over the other but ignore the nagging doubt; you hit a traffic jam a few miles later. God bless!

Gutter vac is there to bypass using ladders. If you can’t get to it from the ground then it’s gonna be a ball ache. Let someone else go up and scoop it out by hand 💩

I would just clean more windows, gutter cleaning is a farse and rarely more profitable than easy windows.
