old master

how does the gutter cleaning attachement work ie just wash away dirt down the down pipe, what about if the gutters are full of Leafs? i have a job once a year (big house) The Boss for a company that i do some work for and its a ladder job and god i hate doing it but have to keep him happy

Yeah ill do a "How To " for it and print it on the forums. I am also ordering some other bits for the pole from Ominpole with jet washing on the end to do fasica's. I did them but pressure washer the other day but it was a nightmare moving the ladder and it took like 2 hrs. £60 :) so i am hopping i can take atleast 45 min - 1 hr off that just due to the pole system. Ill also do a write up on that.

Theres no way you can clean a gutter out properly with a wfp.
U need to get up there and actually get out the rubbish.

Flushing it down the downpipes is a cowboy approach which makes U a fast buck but gives your customer a blocked downpipe or drain.

I have many cusomers who live near to pine trees and U have to physically remove pine needles to do a proper job

it would be nice to see a full explanation from omnipole as to how the gutter cleaner works on this site as i for one would consider buying one also can it be fitted to other poles i.e. ironics how about these gutter leaf guards will it cope with those or do they have to be rremoved. i find most of my domestic wfp customers take it for granted that you can do the gutters externally with a wfp but sometimes it is a bit of a nightmare when they want the gutter cleared. i did buy a good scoop from the show that fits on a drain rod that helps me to reach over conservatory roofs sideways form a ladder but i really don,t like the risk of falling element. any tips

I think gutter cleaning could be done safely, but you would need a very powerful wet Vac system attached to the wfp

Is there much call for this type of work and what would one charge?
