Great video TM. I’ve started my own exterior cleaning business up your videos have been invaluable.

@TradMan Год назад

Well done bud 💪🏻 I'm really happy the videos have helped you. Kindest regards TM 😎

@Shiny-boy Год назад

Hi Pete. Don't knw if you did it or not but What we do when we clean the poles and hose out at the end is fill a bucket up with water and suck it up mate And it will clean it all out for you.

@TradMan Год назад

Yeah I do that to after each job 😉 gotta look after the tools 🤜🏻🤛🏻

@theanvil6886 9 месяцев назад

Awesome vid. Ive had my skyvac for bout 3 years wouldnt change it for the world. Great kit. All you need is the skyvac kit a camera an ladders and your pretty set up really. I also run a small honda generator but not often as mostly use the customers outlets.

@jackstratfull6865 Год назад

Its a awesome bit of kit, i got the older version & love it 👍🏼

Happy days 💪🏻😉

Nice one, I’m currently thinking of getting a gutter vac as I have a lot of 3 storey high, & two storey but awkward gutter jobs I normally do off the ladder, Working solo now so thought I better look into it..

@squeakycleandave1 Год назад

Lovely job Pete. Thanks for the shout out. 👍

The smaller buildings it would definitely save time to just go up the ladder with a bag and just use your hands. Just makes sense by the time you’ve set up the hoover and generator you could have bagged up at least 1 run. However Iv had to let jobs go simply because my ladders just didn’t reach 3 story or I was too scared tbh to get up that high with nobody to foot the ladder. So atm I got mixed feelings about it. Seems like it would be worth it for the taller buildings. Even still tho iv noticed the hoover can get most of the crapnout howver it doesn’t get absalutely everything where as if your doing it by hand you can make sure everything has been cleaned?

@ikaron365 Год назад

Great Video Pete, when you get back there for the windows please make sure to have your camera on :)

@TradMan Год назад

Hey Martin 😁👍🏻 Yeah that would be a job for the Unger Hydro 💪🏻

@raindropcleaners Год назад

That sure is a pricey setup to clean gutters... great job! Enjoy the vids!

@TradMan Год назад

Thanks 👍🏻 Yeah it did cost a bit but worth it 👌🏻

@DaveB324 Год назад

Pays for itself pretty quick though Did a £1.5m house last week for just under £300 so doesn’t take long

😁👍🏻👍🏻

Lovely jubbly

@dannaman8028 Год назад

Great vid TM! I’ve not long bought mine I’ve always used a bigger machine from GVS! The atom is a nifty yet pricey gadget. Dealing with heavy moss and soggy leaf laden gutters at height the release cuff is going to be a necessity! Also keep an eye on the filter condition more so with the atom due to loss of power as the bucket fills up quick! Otherwise it’s a great tool that fits nicely into a packed van. Stay glassy everyone!

@TradMan Год назад

Cheers buddy! Great advice 👍🏻 Gonna get that atom sonic next as its a good balance of power and still compact for my very full van lol

@swexteriorcleaningservices Год назад

Hi mate thanks for getting back i spoke to a electrician and if you type in what size power gen do i need for gutter vac in google in will come up on forms

@McRaesWindowCleaning Год назад

Hey Peter, Why didn't you use the poles all the way round? It seems that using the ladder could have been avoided. 🤔😁

@TradMan Год назад

If guttering is near ground level and could be inspected by the clients quite easily, I like to make sure it's spotless. Using a ladder ensures that. For higher guttering I just use the poles and inspect with the gutter cam to get it as clear as possible.

@McRaesWindowCleaning Год назад

@@TradMan That makes a lot of sense. That is some equipment that you've got your hands on. Looking good.

@TradMan Год назад

Yeah I have built it up a bit at a time. Got a nice little setup now. 👌🏻 Hope your keeping well

@topfloorboy Год назад

good video, and thats a beautiful old house. I soon found the rubber necked part quite frustrating (bending everywhere) and it wouldn't perform that well. Noticed a huge difference when I bought the ridged hard neck.

@TradMan Год назад

Yeah think I'll get that to buddy! Cheers for tuning in 😁🤜🏻🤛🏻

@laymanuponthesunnah9875 Год назад

Advice on sole trader vs ltd company for one man beginning window cleaning ? Btw beard really suits you mate.

@TradMan Год назад

Thanks kindly pal 😊 We always get advise like that from our accountant. They are very clued up on the pros and cons. We use TaxAssist here in North East Scotland

@stevehughes7224 Год назад

TM I use an endscope as a gutter camera. Sellotape it to the end. No WiFi problems & around £30.

Happy days 😉

@thisnthat6972 Год назад

How long did it take you to complete this job and how much did you charge this customer thanks for the great vid btw

@TradMan Год назад

Took all day and charged a days rate 😁👍🏻

@thedrvn Год назад

Wow I've only ever used the skyvac 75 plus so watching this, particularly at 7:57 looks so low powered compared to it

@TradMan Год назад

Did do the job though at a fraction of the cost. But yeah obviously a more powerful machine will cope better with heavily soiled guttering. I will at some point be getting the atom sonic twin motor as that's a great balance between power and versatility, but honestly the atom has managed every job I've thrown at it, so a great investment. 😉

If anyone happens to be in the Jacksonville Florida area, I have a SkyVac Mighty Atom for sale. Like New works great but moving soon .I have it listed on craigslist. I will delete this comment when it is sold.

@jackmatt1022 Год назад

Hey trad man I just watched your video for the boab from Moerman vs the samurai.. I started using the Moerman liquidator because of you and I love it I’m coming from the ninja channels which leave much detail work, but now im really searching for the best boab for the liquidator channels with fliq pads and handels I was thinking for the drywalker or the new xero crackle but this one is very expensive which would you recommend for my setup if you could make a video that would be great Tbh the ninja boab is not that bad for the liquidator channels I find but I don’t like the swivel of the boab

@TradMan Год назад

I personally use the Samurai boab. It's a smaller profile than the bulky drywalker and has different inserts for different setups. Really you have to try a couple of things and see what's best for your work style and comfort. I've tried every boab on the market and for me I like the samurai but nothing is perfect. Everything has something that could be improved 😉

@stevai6732 Год назад

Big question, what do you do if a spout is clogged? Is that part of your gutter cleaning services? I'm adding this on (maybe) to my window cleaning business but spouts really stress me out. Could I pressure wash them free if clogged? I ain't getting on a ladder further than 2 stories to fix that so wondering if a three story job called you and you could reach the gutters with the vac but the spout was clogged, would you get on a ladder? What would you do?

@TradMan Год назад

I only use ladders up to 2 stories. After that it's all vacuum powered cleaning

@stevai6732 Год назад

@@TradMan Thx bud!

@davidkemsley3512 9 месяцев назад

Great video how many poles did you need for the high part of the house i have 3 story houses around me where i live so i want to make sure i have the poles for the job, how much did you charge also please

@TradMan 9 месяцев назад

I have the 8 pole set now. Gets near enough anything. Price is about £5per meter

@ched999uk Год назад

Good to see you fully unwound the extension lead - lots don't realise a coiled up extension can cause a fire! The little gutter vac did you proud there. Was there a reason you went for a heavy geny as it's not big enough for a new bigger 3Kw gutter vac and a smaller 'suitcase' style one would be half the weight and similar costs? Great to see your first gutter vac job - you did a great job.

@TradMan Год назад

Thanks buddy 😁 I won't be getting the big industrial vac machine, too big and bulky for regular residential jobs with narrow passages to get down etc. If i did mainly commercial gutters i would get the triple motor vacs but i mainly do residential work most of the time. Got my eye on the atom sonic as its a twin motor, will work with the genie and is still a compact machine.

@ched999uk Год назад

@@TradMan I see, that explains it. Keep thinking about a little vac like the atom but it's a big investment - maybe this autumn :-) Cheers

@TradMan Год назад

It's a cracking bit of kit! We want two machines so Trad-Girl can work with me. She would plug into mains and I'd use the genie 😁

@mze5622 Год назад

Hello, what’s your thought on window cleaning when the sun is down like evenings for houses?

@TradMan Год назад

I don't work in the dark unless it's really well lit area and client also has the lights on, but typically from 5pm I'm finished work.

@laymanuponthesunnah9875 Год назад

@@TradMan thanks, winter seasons it can get pretty dark soon. As I only have a pole, sqeeguee and a bucket I can only go to customers that can give me a bit of water.

@swexteriorcleaningservices Год назад

Hi mate how do you find the gen works i have a 1400w gutter vac but have been advised by electricians that because they are motor vac they will draw 3 times the power on start up so 1400w will be 4200w

@TradMan Год назад

Works perfectly fine bud. Never heard that about the power draw issue before 🤔 I always let the geni run for about 30 secs to a minute before I plug in the extension cord and fire up the vac. The genie has an overload light on it which will light up if any issues, and it never has. I'm getting a 2800w machine next, around april time and I'll do a video on using it with the geni
