Gutter Cleaning Keeps Us Busy.

Gutter cleaning is a great sideline to a window cleaning business, or a business in itself.  Every year, gutters fill up with what the birds leave, so regular gutter cleaning work is out there.  If you want to offer a whole service, then add some gutter cleaning equipment to your window cleaning van setup.  When your customer calls, you may have no idea what state of growth is burgeoning in their gutters and taking root in their down pipes. Gutter cleaning at height is also a challenge.  But don’t worry.  Our gutter cleaning equipment with long detachable poles, vacuum and a choice of clever attachments is designed to deal efficiently with any gutter cleaning issue.

When you clean gutters it is advisable to work in a direction away from the down pipe rather than towards it, and you will find it a lot easier to loosen the impacted dirt, moss and growth and the gutter cleaning equipment will swallow up most of the mess.  You can boost the power with the switch to pick up tougher pieces, or flick them out using your tools as you work your way through the rubbish.  Extension pipes will get you right up to the top of two or three storey houses and we supply a selection of end tools to deal with those awkward corner gutters where bird debris tends to build up and start the little gutter ’gardens’ with roots extending down the downpipe.   You can deal with all the problems from the ground with the tools and accessories supplied with your gutter cleaning equipment. 

Your pack comes with the normal 135 degree tool and extra long down tools as well; the goose neck tool and stainless steel dirt breaker, a crevice and a reducer tool will also break up those stubborn lumps of dirt, moss and grassy growth.  With patience and lots of wiggling, pecking and nudging away at the gutter build up and selecting different tools you can completely clean those gutters and nibble away at debris build up knowing your equipment will deal with the problems and you will hear (and feel) the rubbish being sucked down the pipe into your vacuum.  You can use an internal brush to finish off. You can usually simply get underneath the lumps and flick any large pieces out onto the ground with the tools to land on the ground, as you go.  The results are fine for the compost heap and most customers are happy for it to be disposed of on site.

Check Your Gutter Cleaning Poles Now And Again

As you go, depending on the type of debris you are dealing with, you might hear the sucking noises vary and notice a change in pole temperature - this means you need to check the inside of the poles, to clear any sticky mud and muck residue from the results of gutter cleaning.  Just rinse the pipes through with some clean water, to clean inside.  Silicon spray the pole connections afterwards too, so that they are easy to put together each time.  Camera equipment will also reveal the extent of any problems before you start gutter cleaning, with high resolution images, and as well as helping your check your work, these images will also provide plenty of video and photographic material to add to your website or Facebook pages!  Follow the instructions that come with your gutter cleaning kit, to clean gutters at height, safely and easily.  Check the final result with your camera, wipe your poles down, rinse through and you will be ready for your next job.
