Harris pole with a bungie cord tie rapped to it and a bit of perseverance. This has been the most difficult gutter I have cleaned. 5 hours for £?
Unknown as I can't predict the cost/life of equipment. :P

£2000 worth of gutter cleaning equipment is brushed aside for the above :)

Nothing like thinking outside of the box at times...Nice one   :)

Scotland's most expensive street!
No extra charge for the hassle and no tip!
One of the reasons I don't have local work.

I've had a few £20 tips recently and surprisingly ONE of them was in Bearsden, so I've cut back on my criticism of the locals for being stingy buggers!
I could have bumpt the price up by £50 but I tend to stick to my original estimates.

Another saying is "a fool and his money are easily parted"

It's very nice to get large tips out of the blue as some realise the job in hand can be a bugger & take alot more time to do so feel you have not charged enough for your efforts.

Or...



Those looked beautiful... why did you remove them? A clogged gutter is not such a big deal...



Just kidding.
