awkward gutter cleaning
« on: August 25, 2010, 07:14:36 pm »
How would you clear out these gutters?
Pic one - I only have 2m to get a cherry picker through. it may be doable, but seems a bit of an overkill for just this amount of guttering.
Pic two - the low level stuff is fine, but i dont see a way to clean that box guttering. Any ideas? there is no way of getting a cherry picker in here, and the highest roof is sloping corrigated steel, with no safety rail, etc.

Is it possible with a long ladder fitted with a ladder stay (with rubbers to stop marking) and secured at the bottom by a very heavy individual?  :)

Failing that you could try ladder staging or similar: -

Although it would appear that your angle is too deep for staging.

All other things considered, if they really want this doing and a cherry picker is a definite no (double check this, you may get a small one to fit) then scaffolding is the only realistic option. Just price this in and make it clear when quoting.

Extending pressure washing lance and turn the revs down. Do it all the time and no aggravation. Wear a hat!!!

Yes we have not found a gutter we can't clean yet.

There are some awkward difficult and demanding cleans but we reached them all and the best thing is we are always safe

We have even added on occasion an angled piece midway to reach that so awkward gutter

Like everything it takes a bit practice but definitely the right tool
