Cleaning Guttering

ukbandit

hi,

coudl use some advice on clearing out my guttering as in one section its starting sending rain down the side of my house

ladders look like they cost around £100 for one long enough. Hiring one looks to be around £30.

Ive heard you can get cleaners on extendable poles relativley cheaply.
anyone know where to get one?

In the abscence of anything else BandQ used to sell extended lances for hose pipes that were used for gutter cleaning similar to item number 110109939103 on ebay....but much longer.


and then there is these but they are expensive unless you also have a conservatory of course then it could be used for cleaning the roof of that as well;

I would buy a set of ladders, they should last for years and have various uses. This would allow you to view the SF & G in one hit and you could clean the guttering out fully. You mention that water is starting to poor down the wall, it would be the guttering dressing has failed/dislodged?

Asked our window cleaner to clean out the guttering, clean bargeboards, soffits etc.

£100

This seems expensive then?

I'm not great with heights, but tempted to buy my own ladders a sneed to paint windows too really.
