I'm getting an increasing amount of UPVC/Gutter cleans - which I could do without, because I really don't enjoy doing them.

I think the Water Fed Pole does a good job , but at the expense of a lot of shoulder work, and crooked neck

Not to mention getting soaked with running down the pole

So, this got me thinking ( a rare thing indeed), but I was wondering if this:

Would do a good job, without the need to contort yourself into daft positions to reach into gutter brackets ect?

I think with the different attachments, and lance belt looks like it could be the tool for the job, and lot easier on the shoulders.

Has anyone used one?

Your obviously restricted with the length, but then I only do domestic UPVC cleans, so the longest pole would suffice my needs.

Thanks

i tried one on my property.put some tfr on the fascias first then couple of minutes later sprayed it all off.worked well and also did inside gutters with it . made a mess and needs practice but it works ok.

I've got one and will be using it in an hours time. They do the job but you need some sort of power supply for the washer or a petrol driven one too. They are very heavy but eliminate the upward scrubbing of wfp which is such hard work.

Brill  - what make and length did you go for?

[Mr H]

I usually use the lance to clean off the really bad stuff and to clean behind the gutter and the brackets then give a "polish" with WFP and brush.

We use 24ft Omnipole powerpole, Karcher petrol pressure washer and TFR. Any little bits touched up afterwards with WFP.
Powerpole is a good robust bit of kit.

Tried cleaning the insides with a lance this morning on a conservatory. There's a knack to it and I haven't got it  God, what a mess!
Gutter vacuum went well though - no mess with that - couldn't lift the drum off the trolley when i'd finished, there was so much in it.  :

Used to pressure wash, but i dont want to pay the expensive pressure washing insurance, and besides i'd rather not have the potential to cause water ingress issues via high pressure (i doubt it would be covered by PL insurance for pressure washing either).

wfp does the job for me - shoulders coming up a treat - one less thing to think about in the gym! 

btw, i do have one of those lances (longest one), its very heavy at full reach. You need practise as once its is sending pressurised water out the jet, you need to be sure you are well prepared for it, otherwise its off! Ive had one go before, nearly did my back in to bring it under control and a controlled crash down to the ground..

You want to buy mine? Its a year old only used it 3 times

Window Washers -

What did you get with the pole?

Does it just connect up to a 'std' pressure washer?

Any pics?

Hi Seven Bays - just phone up Omnipole. It's a 24ft powerpole with the trigger and hose bolted on, plus a set of nozzles and a 45 degree bent end delivery pipe. Hardwearing and bomb proof.
Previous to that we had an aluminuim extending lance made in China from Northern Tools. It did the job, but flimsey. The twist grips were cheap plastic and the ally pole bent.

Here is 2 pics will edit some more so you can see each thing
