Gutter Vac video
« on: August 30, 2016, 01:44:00 pm »
Hello,

I know  a few of you asked us a couple of weeks ago to put a video of the 1250 watt machine working, well on Friday I managed to take a video of a job we were doing using the 1250 watt machine (this is the machine we always use).  Here it is lifting a weed out of some gutters, these gutters were particularly narrow between the tile and the gutters so we were using the extra thin head on this job (it's 12mm wide).      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_nB99Km1JI

Turf anyone ...green side up paddy  ;D

What also make me chuckle was the wheelbarrow on the roof and the guy not wearing any fall protection either  :D

Hello,

E-mail again with pole size (diameter) and I assume you want both head and pole clamps.

You (and Sky vac) would be shocked by how many people contact us for our tools for their poles.
One customer had spent two days trying to finish a large Housing Association contract in London. They even went to the extreme of cutting a piece of their poles to send to us for perfect match, we then found out why those poles act like a whip!!
We sent them the tools and got a very nice e-mail telling us that they managed to finish the contract in two hours with our tools..........ooops

Do you do a set of tools that will fit the sky vac poles? Or is it individual tools you sell?

And your point is??
If your poles are as good as ours, the height is irrelevant,

Sky vac tools aren't very good . Blue flexible tool holder bends far too much. Can you get these tools to fit sky vac poles ?

Only that I'd like to see it in action on a higher building with a longer reach thats all.

What power is the Clarke 20 in your vid?

Not gonna happen ....

Anyway Dave you must know by now that you can't ask questions like that because you are only a potential customer and have no right to know the answers to such difficault questions such as real performance

This morning a chap was enquiring about an industrial unit gutter clearing job. The usual wide box gutters including the bit in the middle like the vid I posted.  Hmmm... I thought I don't own a wheelbarrow  ;D ;D

I gave him the name but not the number of a firm to try that specialises in this type of gutter clearing as was not interested to take it on myself. The chap searching the tinternet then phoned me twice more.

Mind you I do come up in quite a few places but still I thought it would be quite simple for him to find the firm I was on about as are also on the first page too. Obviously not...Bless him.

The point I'm trying to make is you need the right tools for the job even though a small vac may work on some jobs on others may struggle. That's even using the most powerful vac you can buy can be totaly useless on some jobs. I know I've tried.

What I will say is Nick being a gutter cleaner himself has put a lot of thought into the design of the extra tools he uses to help overcome some of the issues associated with  guttervac clearing with the aim of not having to break out the ladders to get the job done.

Sorry Shrek thought I'd answered you, yes we can make the whole head attachment to fit their poles. Mod Note: Please email advertising@cleanitup.co.uk if you are interested in advertising on Clean It Up.

Dave that's a 1250 watt machine in that video.

Darran??

i was in North Walsham a few weeks back watching a two man team using a small (1250 watt) gutter vac on a 3 storey house the run was about 3 ft long adjacent to the gable - 30 minutes later it was still full of crud, in the end they used the pole with weed hook disconnected from the vac and just kept raming and bouncing the gutter pushing the waste out where it promptly covered the lower tiled roof in all an hour to clear a 3 ft stretch of domestic guttering

when you do a video removing what you removed from a ground floor gutter i'll be in the que to buy a system from you
