Gutter vacs

Posted by Robbie on August 22, 2017 at 8:10am

Now that i have a full time staff member I need more winter jobs to keep us both busy, I recently invested in a good power washing setup with FSC that has already paid for itself and am toying with the idea of a gutter vac to the armory.  

Don't wish to spend 2 grand (or more) on an all singing / dancing sky vac, though still need something that I will be using in years to come and is powerful enough to do the job.

    Robbie, I bought the pipes separately for around £200 online

    and the most powerful/ biggest capacity wet & dry titan vac from screwfix. They have one at moment just over £100.

    My thoughts on going low budget was that this was only a temp thing whilst the lawn care numbers built up - and this has been the case, so we don't do this any more.

    This setup worked very well all the properties we did for total outlay of under £300.
