seanc,
          imo, too cheep, done a couple @ fixed price (£30) i'm new too, did them both in just under an hour (each), luckily one side of one house was clear and second house was off an extention, so had things in my favour, but from now on its £2/metre minimum, depending on access & how bad they are.
 hope this helps.

We charge £45.00 front and back also with pressure washer. To clean the inside we just use wet and dry vac with 10foot suction hose that way you gan get over consevs etc.

How do you clean the gutters using your pressure washer?

Is it just to flush out the stuff in the gutters to the down pipe? I have one coming in a week so if it will  help me do the gutters that would be an added bonus!

Cheers,

Andy
