Onto a wfp pole?

Gardeners do one afaik.
Also Windows101.com have a gutter scoop that fits on end poles but you have to be up ladder for it.

Unless you're all out working, looks like everyone is scared to put a website link up!
Has the silly Forum/mods killed it dead!

Personally, I use a set of drain cleaning rods with a swivel plate tool. It is a great tool.

Get a vac

Honestly just did a 30 metre (3*10) clean all full with water, silt and moss. Ended up having over 30 litres of solids in the drum! the fluids wouldn't drain away as the solids blocked the drain hole, so had t get my arm messy!  (note to self, get gauntlets!). Took me 20 mins to clear the gutters, and 40 mins to clear up and put my equipment away. £70 for that

The custy couldn;t believe how much stuff came out of their gutters! Got some photos to  put on the website of this one..

Not one i would have liked to do via a ladder and bucket..

Thanks for your help guys, but all I'm looking for is a bent attachment that goes on the end of telescopic pole. I've seen it posted on here I just can't remember where/when

Thanks

That sounds like Alex Gardiners gutter tool.

Pulls the debris closer to you when up a ladder!

Here's a DIY one. Is this the type of thing you mean?



The mirror is a rear view mirror for a motorcycle - about 4 inches diameter. One a tad larger might be easier to use. Certainly not smaller.

The mirror enables you to (i) inspect the gutter before hand and (ii) see what you're doing as you go along.

(1) Inspect
(2) Dig
(3) Inspect
(4) Repeat 2 and 3 until finished.
(5) Get lots of money for very little work from customer.

Whats a swivel plate tool?

It is a semi circular piece of metal that swivels 90 degrees - it is used for cleaning drains,  but is good on gutters too. (It probably has a proper name, but I call it a swivel plate.  )

Edit: B&Q call it a jointed scraper.
