Had a call last week for a gutter/soffit clean from a lady a few miles away who wanted a quote on her bungalow.
Turned up today and it was already clean! I mean really clean like it had been cleaned the week before. Checked I had the right house then had a look inside the gutters - spotless and carried on cleaning. Spent a couple of hours winkling any tiny green bits out of the brackets then took my payment and drove away.
Either she was nuts or suffering from some cleaning disorder. Funny thing was I was so paranoid about the job that it took me ages.

i have 2 customers next to door to each other semi detached.
the sofits and gutters i do every year about now, and they are mint, hardly have to touch them, but they want them kept that way, i like WHITE upvc, it gets to looks dirty quicker

oh right ok!
£50, dont think i'm far off then really
i did one similar for £35 but it wasn't the clear glass like this one, just the normal plastic frosted style, but it was very green, took hour an half though. i imagine they take longer to clean to get right the clear glass type
thanks for pic

EZ I always give the roof a really good soak before hand.
You will be amazed how easy it comes off after a good soak.
if its stained then I'll use TFR otherwise its just pure water and my pole, operated from a platform I bought for £20 from B&Q lol
