Hi
House gutters need cleaning, they havent been cleaned for years. its a single story house, not sure if I should get up there or try to get someone to do it for me.
Had a couple of quotes, range from one guy asking 75 bucks using a blower to a guy asking for nearly 400.
Also not sure if water blasting is the way to go, vacuum cleaning or using a blower?
I live in Melbourne Northern suburbs so any advice appreciated.
I do it myself with a blower. It is a tedious job, but I have trees all around and would go broke paying someone.
It was a lot worse before I got a blower.
i'd be inclined to at least have a peek at what's in the gutters if a ladder is available.
Blower and then clear up the leaves from the ground?
What happened to those sucker/butcher jobs, then you could pour it into your compost/garden?
I recently did mine by hand with a ladder, but I only had 2 sides to do. Sure it is tedious, but it was a nice day to be outside in the sun.
Comes down to what your time would be worth, and whether the costs for someone else doing it are worth much less.

depends on how adventurous you are and if you already have a ladder.
