gutter cleaning
« on: September 23, 2007, 07:10:51 pm »
hi guys,
we are thinking about getting a gutter lance and i know some of you have got them, anyone know if this will do for gutters as well, also not sure if it comes with the trigger, assuming it does, does this allow you to regulate the power of the water washing the gutter or is it just on or off
http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=22824E
also will i need these
http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=25455E&allpartno=YES
and this
http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=1573211E
i already have a pressure washer but i was thinking about this to power it
http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=136000E
all comments about what else we might need or any advise very gratefully received
thanks
bill

I'm getting my petrol pressure washer on Tuesday, and I'm also getting the same lance 7.3mtr you do need to buy the jets as the lance doesn't come with any, you get the trigger with it (I asked the same question some weeks back)
If you intend to do gutters with it? then you will need this.
http://www.northerntooluk.com/products.asp?partno=1573211E and attach your jets to it.

Re your pressure washer, if you have an electric one, then you will need power for it, cant keep asking custys for there electric ;D
Also if you get loads of work then you need a good pressure washer and not the diy one, it won't last you half a dozen jobs.

According to the pro's, once you get the hang of it and get your angles right, it can do a good job, beats going up a ladder. ;)

I use a long wand and gutter attachment to clean gutters now, fantastic bit of kit. It took a bit to get used to it, but now no mess. But when i do gutters, i generally clean the fascias and soffits anyway.

All  I know is they are telescopic, and at 25' the one your getting, may just about reach 3 floors, Seen some pictures on here of a guy doing a 3rd fllor block of flats.

I'm buying my first petrol one from B&Q  £230, if I get on with the system and after a few months of testing, I'll buy a Pro one and give the boss my old one for the garden ;D

Thanks for the picture Chris  ;) what size lance is that??

You might be able to pick a decent second hand one up for £250 odd off ebay.

To be honest with you kwakers I don't like buying things from abroard or ebay at least the one from B&Q gives me a 3 year warranty, don't think I would get that from ebay.

After 1 year when the machine looks like it went 12 rounds with Tyson, i think you might have problems convincing them that you cleaned your patio and drive once a year  ;D ;D
