Did a gutter clean this week and it took me ages ! If I had a long hose connected to the outside tap would have took me 15 minuites !

i doubt it's the same pole used for window cleaning as it would be far to heavy, go to www.high-shine.co.uk  to see pics, as for down pipes i put on an extension pipe but it will only go down as far as the bends, after that if the downpipes are blocked badly then i'm afraid it's back to the old ladders

If downpipes are to blocked to be vacumed out then feed a jetwash pipe in from the bottom of the pipe or drain rods...

DIY'ed mine using an SL2..... Very easy to do and you can also get the vacuum from gardeners too. All you then need to do if make the "U" section.
Full details are at:-
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=51156.0

Saves you a few hundred pounds... As for the camera, I use a wireless security camera from fleabay with a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) that has av input sockets. Got that for £50 off fleabay. So for less that £100 you have a wireless camera system that you can view and record on to and then put on to dvd for the customer if you want to.
