what times of year seem to get the most enquiries for this service? think i will mainly stick to domestic for now. is it soon as the leaves start to drop or all year round?

I would have thought mainly around or after the fall. But i suppose its a year round job in essence, as there are a lot of moss, sandy filled gutters about.
I intend to really promote it next year, i will be getting a trailer and a towbar fitted to van, a generator and a waste license, so will need to recoup my outlay.

ive already done the diy version - same time as ftp, but i kept it quite as ive not really used it as ive not had the custom generally for gutter cleaning.
Its a matter of proper marketing. Im working on a few projects - which the gutter clearance is one of them and intend to get all the services and flyers, new website etc ready for the new year.

I started cleaning my window cleaning customers, couple of friends then a couple of their neighbours then a few i had put a card through the door. There seems to be a fair bit of work out there as long as your pricing is reasonable. I've had some commercial interest but nothing confirmed yet. The trouble with residential work will be your competition - a guy on a ladder or the householders son or relative. It could take a few jobs to recoup your substantial outlay plus you need to fit them into your window cleaning round.
