When you are cleaning gutters with a gutter vac and there is gutter guard brush in the gutters how does it affect how you clean?

[Smudger]

Badly - if the gutters have any of that sort of thing in them we charge to remove it - we will not put it back in either

Otherwise I pass on the job

You can't really clean out gutters with the likes of hedgehogs etc in them,
a few months ago I did one with hedgehogs, I removed them first using a ladder followed by the gutter vac

I did charge for removing them and convinced the customer not to put them back in as they are a total waste of time.
Had the customer ask me to replace them they would have incurred further charges for this service

Do you pull it down from the ground or go up and retrieve it.

[Smudger]

Really depends on access - straight ladder then it’s quicker to go up and pull out - otherwise we hook and  suck out

I posed this question to the customer - if these hedgehogs work so well why are you asking me to clear the gutters?

Thanks everyone.

My customer had one and it was a really tall house on a slight hill. No way to get ladders up safely so just told her il use the vacuum to suck the hedgehog out and clear the gutters but I won’t be putting it back in afterwards . She was ok about it 👍

Be careful when removing them, the crap goes everywhere!

As Darren says we will only do the job if we remove it we won’t re fit it or replace it usually removing it makes the outside of the gutter filthy as well so we will advise that they have the gfs cleaned at the same time , if they dint want that we will just rinse the gutters off using the garden hose .

Exactly,  complete waste of time. Just goes to show power of marketing
