I've been really impressed with my nilfisk multi 30t. Good suction. 1200watt. (Small enough to carry in the van and ideal to clear domestic gutters. More than happy working in the pouring rain. Well impressed with it.

All for the sum of £109.

Although I havnt tried the big machines to compare the suction its more than capable and has earnt it's money

a900, what poles etc do you use?

Thanks

[a900]

50mm modular tubes from carbonfibretubes.co.uk. Minimum order 6. Around 70 each if I remember correctly.

Wouldn't dream of using aluminium tubes and Really happy with these carbon ones

Thanks mate, do they fit the Nilfisk hose ok?

[a900]

No. The vac hose supplied is 38mm. Need larger 51mm hose and a cuff each end.

The inlet on the machine is 51mm so makes sense to work to that size and should reduce restriction blockages

Where do you get the 51mm hose and the cuffs from a900?

[a900]

Cuffs from my parents. They run a carpet cleaning business and replaced there cuffs to a different type of connection.

Not going to recommend the hose I use as it kinks to much for my liking and gets on my nerves. But I would recommend the carpet cleaning hoses. Borrowed 15m for a job and it's very tough and wouldn't kink. Although slightly heavier.

Hi Steve,

We would do a job like that in 30 - 45 minutes using the vac, that is from arriving to leaving. Depending where you are in the country you would be looking at £40-£50 for a job like that but some people get even more than that.

£40 to clear guttering on house? is this some kind of joke? what kind of mug charges such a low price?

I was trying to be a bit more tactful in my previous post but that was what I was thinking too.

you do not get paid by the hour!!!! you run a business and you get profit, how much profit do you make per job after all the expenses? tax etc etc that is what you earn

£90 plus VAT is our minimum price per job.

 £40 per job its a waste of time and is unprofitable

[a900]

Couldn't agree more. The clean price has to cover Time quoting also.

For me it's got to be worth it if I'm going to get the ladder off the van too. As been mentioned can't always rely on the vac so the price has to be worth it.

I wondered that, and if it's a modern 2 bed semi how is it unprofitable to clear the gutters at the same time as the windows are cleaned?

Not saying there's anything wrong with a minimum of £90, just questioning whether at 15 minute gutter clear while you're there anyway would be unprofitable at £40/£50.

I appreciate that you couldn't do it in that. It takes you half a day to put your helmet on.
