    Does anyone have experience with any devices for cleaning (principally leaves) gutters on a two storey house from ground level i.e. without ladders. Recommendations?

    On the Wirral, but probably others around, also i recomend my customers ask their window cleaner, as theyre got ladders and used to working at heights, and a nice little side line for them, as blocked gutters do so much damage.

    Man and ladder best option. Plus install mesh/chicken wire if ladders is not your comfort zone (speaking from experience here)

    I use one of these:

    Not as easy to use as it looks though – think of trying to direct a jet engine on the end of a flexible 4m pole and you get the general idea. And the leaves inevitably land in your face as you look up, so those safety glasses aren’t there to look cool.

    I hear WCA has started his own sideline in gutter clearing, perhaps ask him? 🙂

    I’ve heard that window cleaners and gutter cleaning type folk have been known to drop tennis balls and drinks cans down gutter downpipes so they block not long after requiring a further visit. Can then be removed thus magically solving the problem.. told this by a telephone engineer whos pulled a few out over the years apparently.

    Being a handyman I get to clean a good few gutters each year. The tennis balls get there via kids playing, er, tennis.

    Only ever pulled cans out of gutters on the roads where a lot of yoofs walk back from getting tanked up down the park of a Friday night, could just be coincidence…
