Mate I appreciate all you do and this video has helped me massively I'm not a fan of ladders and I bought the same vac and poles. What I did do is get a camera system bought from amazon and attached it to the top end. Been a while since I last messaged you. My update is this I'm in full swing of my business pressure washing and gutter cleaning and even conservatory roof cleaning all thanks to you thanks again. 😊

That's amazing Joe, I'm glad it's going well 💪🏼 pressure washing season is upon us!

Great idea with the hose. The best fixes are often the most cost effective ones.

I had no idea gutter vacuum's were so useless thanks for showing mate.

Got a solution for ya. I have a similar DIY gutter vac ive built here in australia. We also get some very thin gutter gaps with tiled roofs too. Go get some PVC pipe and a heat gun. Measure your gap and then make a variety of different attachments by heating the ends of the pvc pipe and making duckbills using grips or a vice. Thay way youll have a variety of duck bill attachments in the van ready for different sized gaps.

Use an wet old cloth and a screw driver to get into that tight guttering mate !! a lot quicker... push it down into the gap and use the screw driver to move it where you want once the cloth is in there.. In fact a wet cloth is really great for pushing debri and cleaning along the gutters...

Thanks for the tip!

Cool... I'm about to start making my gutter vac... so appreciate your video... Not spending a grand on one when I can make one for a couple of hundred... Will be very good for getting into the channel at the back of a conservatory where it meets the house 😅

Can be a bit awkward , ie if not much room behind you so you can't bring the pole back and getting the right angle but doable

Maybe try one of those radiator paintbrushes, the long ones with the angled head

great vac idea!

There's more to gutter cleaning than yiu can think. Set up and pack up, cleaning the machine, access, over hang of tiles, putting up a camera or drone to survey and check how much debri and how thick debri is.

Nice cheap gutter vacuum well done

Shop around though!

What was the hose diameter please? Also I can’t see it in the links. Thanks.
